Hello,

Any ideas to fix this error?

What are your flasher settings? What baud etc etc? How is your device connected to the PC?

OK, i solved the problem.

I updated to latest Oracle VM Virtualbox Version
+ installed an extension pack to use usb 2+3.
+ selected to use usb 3.0 (instead of 1.0)

Is there any chance to open/close the serial terminal from eclipse?
