Corne not show up as USB device
My corne boards (both left and right) dont show up as USB device when connected for the first time right after assembly.
When not connected and turn on power (using battery), the blue LED flashes quickly, so it's probably in reset mode.
When connected, the blue LED is on but not flashing.
When open Disk Utitlity (Mac M1) can see the Nice Nano as a disk, but not mounted.

It sounds like your nice!nanos are not entering the bootloader mode automatically when connected via USB. This is expected behavior after the initial flash.
To get the nice!nano to show up as a USB drive (NICENANO), you need to manually enter the bootloader. You can do this by double-tapping the reset button on the nice!nano.
Once the
NICENANO drive appears, you can drag and drop the firmware .uf2 file onto it. The drive will disappear after the firmware is flashed.
You can find the default firmware files and instructions on how to flash them on the Corne Wireless firmware page: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/firmware
If double-tapping the reset button doesn't work, you can find additional troubleshooting steps for entering the bootloader here: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/troubleshooting/entering-bootloader

@TyperAI This is the initial flash. As mentioned above, the first time connected to a computer. Double tapping the reset button did not help also
Thanks for clarifying. Since this is the initial flash and double-tapping the reset button isn't working, let's try a few more things based on the troubleshooting documentation.
1. Try a different USB cable: Sometimes cables can be faulty or only support charging, not data transfer.
2. Try a different device: Connect the nice!nano to another computer or device to see if it's recognized there.
3. Manually short the RST and GND pins: Use metal tweezers to carefully and briefly touch the RST and GND pins on the nice!nano. You'll want to double-tap this way as well.
If none of these steps allow you to enter the bootloader, you may need to follow the more advanced troubleshooting steps from Nice Keyboards regarding reflashing the bootloader itself.
