Has anyone successfully un-bricked FVDI with wiped BOOT?
Any tips on how to fix the BOOT sectors on FVDI 2015?

Thanks in advance!

Hi thank you so much for your reply. Sorry I completely missed it at the time and gave up after bricking the device (so I thought).

Now that I have usb serial CP2102, I can once again communicate with the device in FlashMagic and was hoping to find these files.

I searched in google and forum but couldn't find anything. I will try to message him, hopefully he is the same Shemek as on this forum.

First thing you will need to correctly write to LPC1768 is to buy a "CP2102 USB 2.0 to TTL UART".
You can get them for under $10 on ebay or aliexpress. You will use FlashMagic together with this device to talk to MCU.

The files are MCU serial number specific and I wasn't able to figure out how to generate them.
I paid Kver-dg for my files, with a small catch; his working solution is for FVDI 2014.
So you effectively downgrade to FVDI 2014 to fix your unit.

Pros: No more dongle; if the unit dies again you will have all the files to restore it.
Cons: Loosing features from downgrading and unit seems less stable (might just be my computer though)
