FS does not mount with CP3.0 on itsybitsy_m0_express

[jerryneedell]

I am finding that when I flash CP 3.0 to my itsybitsy_m0 _express, my Ubuntu linux system is not recognizing the FS.

It works fine if I flash CP 2.x

dmesg output when FS fails with 3.0

On failed boot the Dotstar turns BLue which should indicate "Circuit python is starting up".....

This is reproducible - 2.x loads and boots consistently. 3.0 does not . Dotstar turns blue and nothing happens. I tried connecting it to a Mac with same result.
Also force it to create a new File system - no change in results.

[siddacious]

I may have seen some strangeness with 3.0 on the bitsy but I was under the impression that @tannewt recently fixed something with the flash for it that had been causing issues. I'll test again and report back.

[tannewt]

I am changing it with the DMA work so I'll take a look at it after.

[tannewt]

It works for me with the changes from #663

[siddacious]

Doesn't seem to work for me with the changes you mentioned

[tannewt]

@siddacious and @jerryneedell can you send me the text from the top of the flash chip? We may have different ones. Feel free to send a picture of the board.

[jerryneedell]

Sure, but It’ll be late tonight or more likely tomorrow before I can. I have not tried the latest version yet an will do that as well.

[tannewt]

No rush! Thanks for the help!

I think some FS weirdness was introduced with the latest ASF with 9b4477e. I'm looking into it now.

My ItsyBitsy_m0_espress works fine with the latest build:

Adafruit CircuitPython 3.0.0-alpha.2-17-g9d928b5-dirty on 2018-03-12; Adafruit Itsy Bitsy M0 Express with samd21g18
>>> 

Even the dotstar works!
trying to read the flash chip markings....

[jerryneedell]

is this the right chip?
