OM5P-AN Flashing Timeout

[CoffeeFlux]

Every time I try to flash the new radio (using FIRST's utility), I get the error message "Bridge firmware load failed: Timeout flashing radio." It's able to detect when I power-cycle the radio, and begins to flash, but then just times out and never finishes. Firewall is disabled and the program is run as administrator. Anyone have any ideas?

The KOP radio should already have the right firmware.

Have you tried these instructions for flashing the firmware?

Are you sure that's the same firmware as the FIRST firmware?

No, but Andymark is pretty good about those things. It is a link from the Andymark Webpage for the Radio. We will be flashing the radios this evening. I'll let you know if it works.

The instructions on the AndyMark page are for non-FRC use applications.

For FRC, you'll want to follow the directions here:

The andymark instructions worked for me. We could not get the frc configutation tool to work.
