So this has actually happened twice this season: I’ve downloaded the new update suite from the FIRST website via their instructions on this site, and I tried to use the RoboRio online firmware update tool to update. However, both times I did this (once in early January, once yesterday), the tool told me that the firmware update that I had just downloaded is the same as on the roborio.
This is especially problematic because when I try to run code, I get a build failed error saying “roboRIO Image does not match plugin” and then it tells me what the allowed image version is.
I don’t know if anyone on here has experienced this and knows how to fix it, but any help would be much appreciated! I can’t test any of my code until I figure this out, so I figure as the more minds thinking, the better.
Yeah – But both of them said that the thing I was trying to push to the roborio was already on the roborio. I feel like I downloaded something wrong but I literally followed the instructions that first gave.
Yeah, so I tried to use your first link to update the firmware, but the firmware that I have on my computer is the one from 2015 so it’s already the one on the roborio. My problem is that even though I’ve downloaded the 2016 update suite, I can’t seem to find the proper 2016 firmware update for the roborio.
So evidently I have not installed the NI Update correctly, but I did follow everything that the website said, and I did it 6 times. I guess I’m making the same mistake every time??? Yikes.
So I uninstalled everything and redownloaded the file from the website that you told me to, but unfortunately I don’t even have a Firmware folder nor a LabVIEW 2015 (I have LV 2014 and LV 2013) folder in my Nat’l instruments folder. So whatever is wrong is still wrong.
Am I just incredibly stupid? Has anyone else had this problem? I followed the instructions to the letter and yet… unless I somehow screwed up extracting a zip file…
