I'm sure it's not a USB problem. The motes don't work on other USB ports or other computers either.
I loaded an empty program without even wiring MainC.Boot, but I don't think that's the problem since same thing happened when loading another program too. That was one of the changes before this problem started. Another change was giving the .exe file to tos-set-symbols instead of the .ihex file, but that should've given an error I suppose. By the way, I forgot to mention that after invoking tos-bsl, the mote's receive led (green led) blinks for 6 times then tos-bsl times out. Does that tell anything?
