Re: cRIO not being found by imaging tool

gave the zip file its original name and put it into a folder with the name FRC images. that worked.

PROBLEM SOLVED! thank you for your help

Re: cRIO not being found by imaging tool

I wanted to chime in because we've had some serious problems as well; much worse than 2013.

Like others, our 2013 tools all work fine, but moving to 2014 has been hard.

We mostly get an error from the 2014 tool, after starting the format, that it cannot determine IP settings. Once we're in that mode, that error happens consistently.

Our theory is that the imaging tool has a non zero chance of failing, and once it fails, you're dead in the water. Either an IP reset or the 2013 imaging tools are required to get it back to try again.

We've tried a pretty wide range of actions; we didn't have enough time to really pin it down, but we did get success on a Windows 7 laptop, that had full Labview installed (which we don't need; we use C++), with a fresh battery.

So for others struggling, as superstitious as it is, it's probably worth installing the full Labview DVD and trying again.

I'll try to post again if we pin it down.

Cheers,

Jeremy

On a hunch, and now that our team has the serial number. I did a complete uninstall and clean install of LabVIEW. (Our previous install was in Evaluation mode, with a post install activation). With the new install, the FRC 2014 imaging tool works, and the camera configuration tool works as well. So not for sure, but I think that was our problem.

I think we can safely affirm that as well. The other odd thing we found was that if we imaged a CRIO II with the 'console out' switch in the 'green' position, it would fail, but if we flipped it over to grey, the imaging went through. That could just be that it fails 50% of the time, and luck had it go that way.

But our recipe now seems to be: Full Labview, switch off console out, and all is good.

Cheers,
