No connection between Sonoff ZBDongle -P and HA

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hello,

I tried to connect the Dongle to HA. It’s a complete clean install on a Rapsberry 4. Im a absolute beginner and not keen to insall all kinds of addons etc. I want to use it with ZHA, connect soms Ikea lights and switches and make some automations etc.

Unfortunally :
.> I get a error when connection the stick : See here : New Recording - 8-9-2023 21:13:11

I read some tips to Flash the stick. So I tried but after following all the steps (Yes, including holding the the boot button) I flash process failed. See this video : SmartRF Flash Programmer 2 - Texas Instruments 2023-09-09 17-44-10

When I try to connect the stick again to my Raspberry pie It sees the the installation and I get this alert:

Login attempt or request with invalid authentication from fe80::a882:7552:85a5:283e (fe80::a882:7552:85a5:283e). See the log for details.

There’s nothing in the logfile (i’m looking to the logfile on the left)

The stick is found in the hardware:

Smart Flash programmer can’t flash the hex files any more create with the latest TI SDK !

At a given moment, ZHA ask to choose the ‘netwerkinstellingen voor je toegangspunt’, I think it is just bad translation to choose your serial port.

This is the error. :

Initiate access to target: COM3 using 2-pin cJTAG.

No response from device. Device may not be in bootloader mode. Reset device and try again.

If problem persists, check connection and baud rate.

Connecting over serial bootloader failed: No response from device. Device may not be in bootloader mode. Reset device and try again.

If problem persists, check connection and baud rate.

Failed to create device object.

I’m in doubt how to reset the stick. I can find the reset button but when prerssed, noting is showing (no blinking light etc) . And , I dont know where to change the baud rate.
