Hi all,

sorry if I'm writing into a wrong section, but I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

My solo stopped working after reset. There is a series of 3 beeps when it starts later followed by two low beeps. I have removed sd card from main board and reflashed it from image found on this forum. This part seems to be working, solo pairs to controller and I can ssh to it.

However pixhawk seems to be causing trouble. I tried to connect via USB, it powers up and beeps, but the application I downloaded doesn't seem to work on OpenSUSE. I mean it works as user, but then has no access right to port, as root it crashes.

I flashed both controllers and solo to the latest available fw:

$ solo info
connecting to Solo and the Controller...
(note: ensure you are connected to Solo's wifi network.)
{
"controller": {
"ref": "3dr-controller-imx6solo-3dr-artoo-20160926202703",
"version": "2.4.2"
},
"gimbal": {
"connected": false
},
"pixhawk": {
"apm_ref": "unknown",
"px4firmware_ref": "unknown",
"px4nuttx_ref": "unknown",
"version": "unknown"
},
"solo": {
"ref": "3dr-solo-imx6solo-3dr-1080p-20160926202940",
"version": "2.4.2"
}
}

As you see pixhawk reports "unknown". Attempt to flash it ends like this:

$ solo flash pixhawk ~/Downloads/ArduCopter-v2.px4

There doesn't seem to be any connector that I can remove, nor sdcard. I have stock "black cube", even unmounted it and there is nothing that I can unplug. Any ideas how to get pixhawk back to life?

Thanks in advance.
