Re: Trouble flashing cRIO

Bryscus,

I too had problems reflashing v20. I kept getting the "check your subnet error". My team had the luxury of having 2 cRios, so I loaded v20 on the 2009 cRio, and it took the first time. If you use wireshark or another network protocol analyzer and only see UDP packets then it will fail. The actual transfer seemed like FTP. After verifying that that one accepted and worked, I did the following the stubborn one.

I turned the cRio off. I then switched it to safe mode. You can't image in safe mode, but you can reformat it. So I reformatted it, and once it completed I powered it down. Switch it back to normal mode, then power it up. I then reimaged it normally. I'm not sure, but it might be worth noting that the time after the reformat I forgot to set a team number, so it was on 0. I don't think it matters but it is exactly what I did. I then reimaged it with the correct team number.

Before you do these steps remember, if the cRio doesn't take the image after the reformat then it will not run your code. If possible have a computer read the console output, sometimes you find a really helpful clue.
