Re: Trouble flashing cRIO

I second gvarndell's advice,

However I'll throw into the mix that the Classmate PC's LAN connector seems to play nice when link is lost and regained during a cRIO reboot. Your own laptop or desktop's mileage may vary. Our team exclusively re-images our cRIO using the Classmate PC via a direct crossover cable.

In another thread, I mentioned that our team has had issues relating to the supplied gaskets and/or debris causing intermittent communications problems with the cRIO.

We installed the cRIO gaskets included in this year's kit, and could no longer reflash our cRIO. We removed them, and we were able to reflash again. It was very bizarre, because our cRIO was otherwise clean inside. I suppose it shows foreign objects can influence communications quite a bit.

Given the nature of last years game and the amount of static electricity that was generated, it might be wise to do a little house cleaning on the inside of the cRIO by dusting them off with some compressed air.
