Problem imaging the roboRIO to the 2016 Image

[jtaylor991]

I did some searching before this, but not extensively. I didn't find anything except I saw someone mention there will be a firmware update to run in the browser after the NI Imaging Tool image, so that's good to know

Anyway, I try to run the image in the NI Imaging Tool, and it errors out. The first time I tried it, it ran for quite a while, and then gave an error. That was through the D-Link router, so I tried a direct connection (regular Ethernet cable), and that ran and also gave the error (screenshot attached). I then tried a crossover Ethernet cable, and the imaging tool would find the roboRIO upon searching but the transfer would fail.

In the screenshot, it shows the IP as 169.254.x.x (so APIPA kicked in), but before that, it started at 10.18.27.2 (edit: I had set this static IP initially), and then after the first error/failure, I noticed it was reporting 10.18.27.220 (our team num is 1827 by the way).

I checked the "Disable RT Startup App" based on instructions found online and saw no change.

I hope this screenshotted error is the same one as the first one, as the first time, I read it, didn't understand what it was asking, and decided to try again. After failing, I took the screenshot to post here for outside help, and I don't remember now a day later what the first message was. If this doesn't make sense, let me know.

Next up to try tonight: direct USB connection (I've never used that before and the cable was gone/lost from the shop yesterday so I'll bring one today).

Thanks for any and all time and help, it is very much appreciated!
