[HMX] Did you press RESET on the board?

I pressed pressed the RESET button in both situations. I tried short and long presses, but that does not seem to matter.

Tried

I tried different ways of pressing the RESET button (short and long presses), and changing the timing of pressing it. I've also tried different usb-c cables.
