This may be a beginner-misunderstanding, but i hope you can assist me.

I had to move one of my repeaters to improve the WAF of my sensor installation.
In this process i may have messed a bit too much with the routing as i think the nodes responds directly to the gateway, but the gateway answers through the repeater. The repeater is moved, and the signal does no longer reach the node, resulting in a head ache (FPAR fails).
I read the debug-section and I think i need to clear my eeprom to allow for a new routing to happen.

This proved more difficult than I had anticipated. below is my software stack/process:

• Downloaded Arduino 1.8.3 for non admin install
• Downloaded Mysensors Library v2.1.1 using Library manager
• Downloaded Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM cortex-M0+) version 1.6.11 using Boards manager
• Downloaded Mysensors SAMD Boards version 1.0.4 using Boards manager

I then rebooted my machine for good measure and uploaded the ClearEepromConfig-example to the gateway. No output in the serial monitor.

I then searched a bit on the forum and added:

#if defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_SAMD)
    while (!Serial) {} 
 #endif

In the setup()-part. This enabled me to get some output from the gateway. Unfortunatly it only returns Started clearing. Please wait...

I then did some more digging, and apperantly i2c_eeprom_read_byte() fails. So i searched some more on the forum and found I2C eeprom write fix for SAMD. So i tried the above once again but this time with Mysensors Library v2.2.0-beta (dev branch) just to see if anything changed. It didnt.
What did i miss ?

Please note, that when using the link to ITEAD, the order is not actually completed. The order is received by ITEAD, you get an order confirmation and everything, but the order is actually not processing before you upload the gerber files.

This may be a beginners mistake, as it is the first time i'm using this service. I had the understanding that when you pressed the shopping cart above, and chose a service the gerber-part of the transaction would be handled automatic.

I dont know if this is a misunderstanding on my side, I may have misunderstood the instructions on this site. It also may be an error on ITEAD's side as they didn't process the order correctly.
What is your experience with this ?
My problem is solved now, as I wrote and asked ITEAD for status. They made me aware of the issue and I emailed them the gerbers.

This is in no way a critique of the project. I really appreciate the hours of work put into it.
