Re: For teams having trouble downloading code

That's the /exact/ issue we see, on the same file apalrd.

Since formatting takes just slightly longer than building if you start both at the same time, we simply format before uploading each build, then format again before we run code.

We have a standard "hands off" policy regarding the Crio. Things do NOT get plugged and unplugged - everything goes through an adapter. Dip switches do NOT get changed, and no one touches it.

The last thing on earth I want is some over-zealous screwdriver-jockey to put one of those dip switches through the back of the crio because they don't understand how fragile some things are. (Nothing against screwdriver-jockies of course....) Even worse would be to screw up the ethernet port to the point where we can't program at all.

That's just our way of doing it. It sounds like the dipswitches work well for lots of folks, and that's cool!
