cRIO v20 Update Problems

[1168Programmer]

We have the same exact problem. We are updating from the correct address and have done all the steps posted above and our cRIO still doesn't work. Has anyone gotten their cRIO to work? If so, how? Is there anything that can be done that hasn't already been posted?

Thanks in advance

[1168Programmer]

As an addition, the output that we are seeing when we try to upload the code to the cRIO is as follows:

...

...

and it will continue to print the "waiting to connect to OTA command server" line until we halt it.

Any help is appreciated.

I had this exact same problem today after I reformatted and programmed the crio with v20. The only thing I did was reboot the crio to "fix" the problem. I have not seen that problem again since.

Thanks for the response.

I have tried power cycling the cRIO and using the reset button - neither of those actions solved the problem. Is there anything else that we can try?

Thank you.

Try reformatting the crio and programming it with v20. Are you using 802.11 to program the crio? Or are you using an ethernet cable?

We are using an ethernet crossover cable for programming. We have already reimaged the cRIO twice with v20, but I suppose it can't hurt to try again. I don't have access to the robot until tomorrow though.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Any other ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Did you also reformat the crio when you reimaged it? I'm also assuming that you ran the latest updates for the DS and LabView? I can't think of anything else at the moment. Try reformatting/reimaging of the crio and tell us what happens.

1168Programmer,

The run command is failing after deploying the app but either before rebooting the crio or before connecting to the netconsole output.

So in theory your program is on the cRIO and will run on the next reboot.

To find out what is going on, go to a command line:
- change the directory to the directory of your robot project
- reboot the cRIO
- enter the command "ant echo"

You should then see a stream of text as the cRIO boots up, starts Java, and runs your robot code.

Please post what you find.

We will do so tonight. Thank you for your input.

Ok, I just reformatted and reimaged the cRIO with v20. The first attempt to load code onto it resulted in the OTA command server error. I then rebooted the cRIO and attempted to load the code again - it now works. I don't know what I did differently than we were doing yesterday - maybe we were not reformatting when we reimaged the cRIO.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi Derek, our team seems to be experiencing similar problems to those which have been posted in this thread. We updated the cRIO and Netbeans and experienced OTA errors, but believed power cycling had solved our issue until netbeans began to hang and not communicate with the cRIO at all. Listed are the steps we took to remedy this problem since the update:

1) Updated cRIO & netbeans to v20
2) Tried to deploy & run code from netbeans
3) Waiting to connect to OTA command server error
4) Power cycled the robot
5) Deployed and ran code twice to the cRIO without issue
6) Code would not deploy the third time - communications would hang
7) Re-imaged the cRIO & attempted to run the code - communications would hang
8) Left it over night
9) Attempted to program today, received "Waiting to connect to OTA command server" error
10) Power cycled the robot
11) The code deployed and ran twice without issue
12) The third time code was attempted, communications just hung, again. Here is the output from that attempt:

Do you have any advice for us moving forward? Thanks in advance!

[1168Programmer]

Hi all,
I reformatted and reimaged the cRIO with v20. I then attempted to download code onto the cRIO and encountered the OTA server error. After that I power cycled the cRIO and the code downloads and runs normally now. I don't know what we did differently than yesterday (maybe we were not reformatting yesterday?) but it seems to work now.

Thanks for all the help.

EDIT: imcmahon01, I will post again if we encounter the problem that you described. Unfortunately I can't offer you any advice right now.

[derekwhite]

imcmahon01,

The 2nd error may be due to FRC_JavaVM somehow being deleted from the cRIO. You can ftp to the cRIO, and see if there's a file named /ni-rt/system/FRC_JavaVM.out.

I'm still trying to figure out why it works for a while then falls apart. But a work-around may be to use an ftp tool to delete FRC_JavaVM.out, squawk.out, squawk.suite, and robot.suite. Then reboot the cRio and try to deploy your code from netBeans normally.

[imcmahon01]

Thanks for your input, Derek. We ftp:// 'ed into the cRIO only to find that the ni-rt/system/ folder did not contain FRC_JavaVM.out, squawk.out, squawk.suite, or robot.suite. So these files are somehow deleting upon programming?
