Hello,

We have noticed a strange issue with the Arduino Nano Every. We are currently using it in a configuration, where it can be powered from either USB or external 5V.

If we unplug/reconnect USB several times in a row (eg. 10 times or less), while the MCU is also powered through external 5V, it will usually stop responding to USB commands.

[ 1664.430570] usb 1-1: can't set config #1, error -71

The errors vary, but usually along the following

  • can't set config #1, error -71
  • device descriptor read/64, error -110

The only solution is to power cycle the 5V supply while having disconnected USB. Pressing the reset button has no effect.

We can see the m4809 is still alive (heartbeat LED) so I assume the SAMD11 is the culprit. Is there a way to reset the SAMD11 from the m4809?
