Re: Do black jaguars come with functional CAN firmware?

It sounds like you don't have any communications to the Jaguar, and as such, the "Failed to contact the bootloader" error makes sense.

Have you tried other adapters?
And you are sure that the pinout is correct on your adapter?
Do you have more then one black jaguar? if so, try communicating with that one.
Yes to all.
I'll make it clear when this topic is open-ended.

I have two questions currently:
Do the Black Jaguars work with CAN out-of-the-box?
Is it normal for them to echo back serial data that is sent to them?

Another way of phrasing this is:
What is the functionality of the firmware on the Black Jaguars when they are shipped?

EDIT:
Upon re-looking at the getting started guide, it appears that the only difference between the default firmware and the FIRST firmware is the "untrusted mode".
I mis-spoke earlier in this post. I haven't tried a different adapters, but I have confirmed (with an oscilloscope) that my adapter is sending and receiving data.
