Re: Errors with the roboRIO.
Greg, thanks for the info, and for the quick reply.

The firewall might have been the issue with one of our roboRIOs. Funny thing, I had just disabled the firewall when I read your post.

One of our mentors got on the phone with NI for our other roboRIO. The conclusion is that the roboRIO is not recoverable, and will be replaced.

Teams reading this: If you find that you need to call NI for support, have an RS-232 cable made up for the roboRIO. That would have saved us some time.

It's not clear whether the failed unit was DOA, or whether it's something we did. Either way, it sounds like several teams have had unrecoverable errors that have required replacement. Fortunately for us, we had a backup roboRIO.
