I just tried to update my ODrive from firmware 0.4.12 to 0.5.1 on my Arch Linux laptop and now it appears bricked. It went something like this:
I connected to the ODrive with ODrive tool and was able to validate basic functionality
I ran odrivetool dfu and got the following as a reponse:
ODrive control utility v0.5.1.post0
Waiting for ODrive...
Downloading json data from ODrive... (this might take a while)
Found ODrive 336931563536 (v3.6-24V) with firmware v0.4.12-dev

Obviously the DFU was not successful. I attempted to retry, but the board never connected. I tried power cycling, flipping the DFU switch, connecting GPIO 6 to gnd but despite this, the board never appears over usb

I’m thinking that since the failure occurred after the erase stage and that no matter what I do I can’t seem to get the board to connect, the bootloader got blown away and now my ODrive is bricked.
Does anybody have any suggestions about how I might jog my ODrive back to life other then using a JTAG debugger to manually write a good firmware image?
