Discussion and technical support related to USRP, UHD, RFNoC
View all threadsHi all,
I have a problem trying to power up the USRP E320.
When I push the power button, the power led doesn't light up and the eth
leds blink for a few seconds and then shut down. This is not the first time
this has happened to an E320 device (for the other cases I recovered them
by pushing the button longer or enter to the serial port to reboot) but now
it seems like trying the things I did before does not work.
I connect the serial port to my PC and see this every time I push the
button:
The ARM CPU does not allow me to log in, but from the microcontroller, I
can run commands. I try to reboot the device from it, but it always says
this line:

Is this a known issue? I haven't tried anything strange, I always shut them
from the ssh connection so this happens by chance. I'm sure it is not
broken just stuck in the boot state, but I don't know which are the right
steps to start it up.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Maria

I don't have an E320, so this is a "shot in the dark" type of
answer--you could try refreshing the system image:

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for the answer, I’ll try it.
Kind Regards
