Re: Jaguar yellow blinking light after updates
If the Digital Sidecar status light (RSL) is blinking, then the Jaguars will be forced to blink. That light means the cRIO has been disabled.
The RSL takes precedence over any Jaguar staus light.

The DS blinking can have several causes:
-- The DS disable obviously
-- It could also be because no code is running on the cRIO (indicated by a DS Battery status of "No code")
-- Or by failing to feed the Watchdog regularly (also indicated by a DS Battery status of "No code")
-- Or by a firmware mismatch between the DS and cRIO (indicated by a DS battery status of "No comm")
-- Or failed connection, wireless or wired, between the DS and cRIO (indicated by a DS battery status of "No comm")
