Re: Can't update firmware of radio 2017

I'm going with the simple route again, because a slight oversight caused us some issues and analyzing our hardware installation found the problem. PLus this is very easy to check and dismiss if I'm wrong. Here goes:

1. The power input needs to be connected to the 12V/2A output of the VRM. This is different from years past.

2. When connecting to the radio from a PC, the ethernet cable plugs into the port furthest away from the power input.

3. When connecting to the radio from the RoboRio, the ethernet cable plugs into the port adjacent to the power input.

I hope this helps. If it's software, that's not my realm.
