Shrike-Fi Board Not Showing Up As USB Drive

General

Hey Guys.
I just got my Shrike Fi board yesterday and I was going through the get started stuff.
I was trying to flash the micropython binary on the board but the board isn’t showing up as a drive on my PC (Windows). What I am doing is :
Connect a cable to the USB C port → Hold down the boot button. → Connect to the PC.
When I check the device manager, it does show that a USB serial device is connected under the COM & LPT section.
I have tried multiple windows machines, ports and data cables. I don’t have access to a linux machine as of now.

Please let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks for helping out!

Hello @AdiJo ,

If you are trying with Shrike-Fi , then the board will not appear as a USB mass storage drive when you hold the BOOT button. Seeing it as a USB Serial (COM) device in Device Manager is actually the expected behavior. Instead of dragging a UF2 file, you need to flash the firmware using esptool . Please go through the docs once clearly (Go to Shrike-fi section).
