I tryed loading the blink with delay in linux now the board does not continuously blink and the com port does not show up.
I did switch from ram to flash load program.
maby it needs to make clean first somehow I use the gui.
your trouble shooting says reflash the bootloader but doen't say how.
the initial program might init the usb could that have been removed with my blinky?
what is the initial sketch?

What i think is happening here is a RAM/FLASH contention. The Maple bootloader will prefer to load RAM code, even where this code loaded into flash. This is something of a bug crossed with a historical design decision. For example if you:
1) load code into ram
2) load code into flash
3) reset

you will find the flash code doesnt run! instead the old RAM code will be running. What you need to do is power cycle (unplug/replug) the board to clear all memory in RAM. Then Maple will run the code you have stored in flash.

that now makes sense I rebooted linux removed brltty and pumped the reset when pressing load program then released. The mape is loading code in 64 bit linux ubuntu.
windows 7 no luck but im happy using linux. Also the compiling seems faster.
