While i was flashing the latest Core, the M65 abort with write errors (10 try´s). 
I cant retry or get back to the main menu.
I try to boot the Factory Core, but it fails. I can see only the ambulance light, nothing else happens.

Thank you! Then the designation fits quite well.
Unfortunately, the occasion is always rather sad.

Did you also try to remove BOTH SD cards and boot without that ?

I had this with the devkit and it was fixed easily by flashing the machine using Vivado and the USB JTAG.
The USB adapter isn’t available at the moment, but a cheaper alternative has been tested successfully. Ask on Discord.

Yes. He is dead, Jim.

Hello to the community,
my MEGA65 was also hit with the ambulance blue light.
I tried a "Kung Fu Flash Cartridge" for the C64 with the MEGA65. That must have gone really wrong.
Tried everything, with SD cards, without SD cards, unfortunately without success.
Actually, the MEGA65 should still boot from the factory core 0, unfortunately it doesn't either.
I hope that there will be support from the MEGA65 team in such bad failures, I'm a bit sad.

My suggestion is to report issues via Discord, there you will have all developers actively involved.
-
that is already happened. the problem is the JTAG Programmer. the 0790 is not available.
Paul works on an alternative solution.
I found one on AliExpress...but with roughly 11.500€, it might be bit expensive for this purpose.
Anyway, regarding the bricking issue, I was thinking about fragmentation again. Does anybody know if the flasher checks for this before it's trying to flash? Or is it just as 'optimistic' as the d81 support is and then falls flat?

ok, 11,5k€ is a little bit to much. i think i will order only one.
