FW/FPGA Timeout problem on Multiple Brand New USRP N210s with (Ubuntu/Windows) computers

Hi,

I was trying to write FW/FPGA images on four brand new N210s with python
net_burner program on windows or ubuntu computer but everytime it failed and
timed out.

Total four N210s failed. Three with windows 7. One with Ubuntu. Windows
failed attempted with Ubuntu but no success. Everytime Timeout
problem occurred either during FW or FPGA process. One failed during FW
process and it got solid orange light on its ethernet port. I think it's
bricked.

I have  another (yes, fifth one) bricked previously for which I am still
waiting for ER(Nick) to get instructions to reinitialize it through Serial
port.

Very interesting: I have another (sixth one) that I have burnt these images
successfully without any problem using Ubuntu and its working fine.

Here are the details.

Windows 7 -> No firewall, private network, python 2.6, wireless card
disabled, Direct N210 connection, No Switch
Ubuntu -> No switch, direct N210 connection, .........
FW/FPGA images: Latest from NI, usrp_n2xx_fw.bin, usrp_n210_fpga.bin

Before burning: Ping requests were successful on ubuntu and Tracert requests
were successful on windows. For some reason, ping on windows and traceroute
on ubuntu were unsuccessful with each N210.

After burning: Ubuntu+Ping and Windows+Tracert requests are successful with
N210s having solid green on ethernet port. N210 with solid orange are not
responding to either request on either OS.

I have these USRPs installed in a 19-inch rack and it's gonna be such a pain
if I have to take them out to restart in safe mode, if possible.

Any help will be much appreciated. Please help.

Khalid,

I believe that I have replicated the timeout problem in my windows 7
virtual machine. I will work on a fix now.

Because of the timeout, you may have had partial writes. Try not to
power-cycle the devices if possible until I get you a fixed net burner.

For the devices that you have power-cycled, and that do not respond, you
may need to remove them from your rack and hold down the safe boot button.

Thanks,
-josh

Hi,

I was trying to write FW/FPGA images on four brand new N210s with python
net_burner program on windows or ubuntu computer but everytime it failed and
timed out.

Total four N210s failed. Three with windows 7. One with Ubuntu. Windows
failed attempted with Ubuntu but no success. Everytime Timeout
problem occurred either during FW or FPGA process. One failed during FW
process and it got solid orange light on its ethernet port. I think it's
bricked.

I have  another (yes, fifth one) bricked previously for which I am still
waiting for ER(Nick) to get instructions to reinitialize it through Serial
port.

Very interesting: I have another (sixth one) that I have burnt these images
successfully without any problem using Ubuntu and its working fine.

Here are the details.

Windows 7 -> No firewall, private network, python 2.6, wireless card
disabled, Direct N210 connection, No Switch
Ubuntu -> No switch, direct N210 connection, .........
FW/FPGA images: Latest from NI, usrp_n2xx_fw.bin, usrp_n210_fpga.bin

Before burning: Ping requests were successful on ubuntu and Tracert requests
were successful on windows. For some reason, ping on windows and traceroute
on ubuntu were unsuccessful with each N210.

After burning: Ubuntu+Ping and Windows+Tracert requests are successful with
N210s having solid green on ethernet port. N210 with solid orange are not
responding to either request on either OS.

I have these USRPs installed in a 19-inch rack and it's gonna be such a pain
if I have to take them out to restart in safe mode, if possible.

Any help will be much appreciated. Please help.

Khalid,

Can you update your repository to the latest master, which is commit
c9124630941847bcf7b172f4ebf16b6a947e6f75, and try the updated net
burner. This should fix the timeout issue that you see.

Thank you for your patience.
