Well... I just tried to disconnect and reconnect the Edison module from the Mini breakout board, but it's the same as before, also seems to be sitting correctly. Changing USB cables also doesn't have any effect (I have tried 4 different ones).
To me it seems like there is a functioning connection, I see a USB device on the computer for each of the cable connections (FTDI serial port on one and the MERRIFIELD device on the other), it just looks like the board isn't booting up or anything?
Could it be an empty flash or something like that? Would there be a way to program that if it's the case?
