Please post if you find out different, as we are getting a similar error when we try to download the latest code from FIRST for psoc 3.

Thanks, RayG
The board we're using is the one that came in the kit from 2 years ago. Us being a veteran team, we have to reuse an old one. We haven't used any special inputs at the driver's station since FIRST switched to the NI system, so this thing has been packed away and I haven't really given it a second thought. But anyway, it is the one we got in the 2009 kit - it was just packed away and we dug it out a couple days ago.

I got the error just as we were being kicked out of the school, so I didn't have time to write it down, but it was something along the lines of this (heavily paraphrased):

"Programming failed: the XXXX.xxx was created for (something I can't remember) v32, and the (something I can't remember) you are trying to program is v31."

It seems like our board is so old that the new firmware isn't suited for it. Of course, I could be wrong. As I said, we were getting the boot as this was happening and all of that stuff is still at the school so I can't do any real testing. I'm thinking that if I recompile the open-source code with the software that I installed from the CD we had, it will solve the problem. I was hoping that someone else saw this problem and had a solution so I didn't have to spend a lot of time (which I don't really have right now) tracking this down.
