Nothing has come back from the board yet. A repeater prints nothing by itself, so that can be normal. Try, in this order:
- Type
verin the Terminal and press Enter. You should see the letters appear, then-> v1.17…on the next line. - Click Restart board and wait 5 seconds. A repeater prints its boot messages, including
Repeater ID: …. - Still nothing: unplug the board and plug it back in without holding BOOT (holding BOOT puts it in flashing mode, where it runs no firmware), then Disconnect and connect again.
- Make sure you picked the right port in the browser's list (the board is usually the only new one), that nothing else has the port open (another browser tab, the flasher's console, a serial monitor), and try another USB cable: some are charge-only.
- A companion (phone app) radio never answers here. First boot after “Erase device” can also take up to 30 seconds.
