Imaging Tool does not detect roboRIO 2.0

[StephenLe8714]

Hi! I have a problem with imaging the RoboRIO.

We have a brand new roboRIO.
I have installed the latest version of the Imaging Tool; however, when I plugged the USB in, nothing showed up.
I tried another USB cable, I reinstalled the FRC Game Tool but it still shows:

Thank you,
Stephen.

Is this a RoboRio 2.0? If so, you have to image the SD card before the imaging tool will work.

roboRIO 2.0 microSD Card Imaging

yes, we have the roboRIO 2.0
How can I image the SD card?
Thank you!

Did you click on the link that Peter sent above? That has instructions!

[StephenLe8714]

Hi! I follow the instruction but I don’t know what to do at this step.

Please tell me what to do next. Thank you!

It doesn’t look like your microSD card is recognized. Do you see it in Windows Explorer? How do you have it connected to your computer?

I have the same issue but already imaged my sd card outside of the roborio; any advice?

I did that and it works. How do I set the team number though? It’s 0 right now.

Now you can use the regular imaging tool just to set the team number.
Don’t select “Format Target”, use “Edit Startup Settings” instead.

Thanks. For some reason, it would always through errors when I tried to edit startup settings. Now it works though

If the rio 2.0 had never been formatted, then it wouldn’t be able to change settings and the tool would fail (can’t talk to an operating system that isn’t there to listen).
Maybe that’s why it wasn’t working at the time?
