Re: RoboRIO Firmware Upload Losing Connection

We had to do a safe mode boot of the RoboRio to get a good connection for updating firmware when my students lost connection during an earlier attempt at updating firmware.

The original cause of our connection dropping (that caused the first firmware update to fail) was an intermittent short between power and ground rails on some DIO. Someone accidentally bent the pins on the Rio. The error code lights on the RoboRio can help identify that issue quickly.
