Hello community,

As I have limited access to my profesionnal laptop, I use a paperspace VM which can forward USB port from local to remote. I see the card in the device manager on COM6, I can use Arduino IDE to access and upload sketches to the card, and when I start Mobiflight it says it's connecting to the card. All of these tests seem to work fine.

However, when it tries to update the firmware, I'm ending up with a timeout message.
Error 02/07/2024 09:17:33 avrdude timed out! Something went wrong when flashing with command
C:\Users\paperspace\AppData\Local\MobiFlight\MobiFlight Connector\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude -C"C:\Users\paperspace\AppData\Local\MobiFlight\MobiFlight Connector\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf" -patmega2560 -cwiring -PCOM6 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:"C:\Users\paperspace\AppData\Local\MobiFlight\MobiFlight Connector\firmware\mobiflight_mega_2_5_1.hex":i.

Any ideas on the workaround?

I'd appreciate any help as I'm currently stuck.

Wax.
