CrazyRadio PA hardware bricked by flasher

[ad0nis]

I just received a new CrazyRadio PA in the mail, and attempted to follow this tutorial to flash it today, and ran into the following problem:

root@kali:~/tools/keysniffer/nrf-research-firmware$ make
sdcc --model-large --std-c99 -c src/main.c -o bin/main.rel
sdcc --model-large --std-c99 -c src/usb.c -o bin/usb.rel
sdcc --model-large --std-c99 -c src/usb_desc.c -o bin/usb_desc.rel
sdcc --model-large --std-c99 -c src/radio.c -o bin/radio.rel

Now, when plugging the device back into my system, it isn't even registered in lsusb, so it appears that the dongle has been bricked by the flasher included in this repo. I'll be attempting to fix it with a Teensy later on today if I can find one in my toolkit.

I managed to recover my device with the use of a BusPirate and these instructions:
