[Discuss-gnuradio] N210 recovery, no luck

[Gaetano Mendola]

Hi all,
I was setting one of our N210 we got last week, while flushing the firmware
the procedure (normaly it takes one second) stopped this way:

USRP-N2XX found.
Flash size: 4194304
Sector size: 65536

Begin firmware write: this should take about 1 second...
Erasing 31744 bytes at 3145728

nothing for over few minutes, I did a CTRL-C and this time worked:

USRP-N2XX found.
Flash size: 4194304
Sector size: 65536

Begin firmware write: this should take about 1 second...
Erasing 31744 bytes at 3145728
Writing image
Verifying data
Read back 16383 bytes
Success.
Time elapsed: 1.200541 seconds

for the fpga part it didn't work and it stops (I waited like 10 mins) this way:

USRP-N2XX found.
Flash size: 4194304
Sector size: 65536

Begin FPGA write: this should take about 1 minute...
Erasing 1572864 bytes at 1572864

After around 10 mins I did a CTRL-C repeated again (as i did with the firmware
but it didn't work).

The device now doesn't reboot (all leds are off) and performing the recovery
procedure (keeping pressed the S2 while power cycling) doesn't lead to anything,
all led are still off.

Any suggestion? Shall I send it back ?

Regards
Gaetano
