Hi3518ev200 - burn is not detecting it.. or totally dead camera?

[Extreme79]

Hi!
I replaced the firmware sucessfully with openIPC, but due to some issue with wifi (wrong wlan0 driver) networking was apparently messed up.. so I decide to burn again the full openipc image.
BIG mistake.
Steps done correctly, no issues..reset.. resetting... bum! dead.
Camera IR works but noting of the rest seems alive (also the connection status led). No boot log, nothing.

I decided to try burn. But no way, It say Trying to connect to COM1 (port is ok) and nothing more.
I don't know if it's burn or (I bet on this...) veryhardbricked cam.
Can I trying something more with burn or the only way it's the trash? :(

Hi,

I have the same symptoms with a HI3518CV100.
After the reset, the serial has stopped to return data.
Since then, the serial doesn't work at all (nothing displayed and no echo of key pressed).

I have no idea why and no idea if there is a way to unbrick it as I have no experience with burn.

Have you found a solution @Extreme79 ?

Burn doesn't work with HI3518CV100, it's too ancient device

Thanks for your reply @widgetii. It's new to me so this kind of information is very valuable to not loose hours on a wrong track :)
