So, to close out a bad week in general. I got an old NI-3000 in that would boot and dance the LEDs but failed to load the OS. I found the flash card was corrupt so I tried the card from my test NI-3000. It didn't work because I think the OS was too new for the chip firmware. So I downgraded my firmware and tried it again. No go. I only download to an early Duet version but I think this master was from the 2.x era. So, I found a REALLY old firmware on the ftp and was going to load that one in my master and try again. Unfortunately, something failed during the previous downgrade. MY test master is now SUPER-BRICKED. All lights DEAD ON right at power up (including the internal service light). I assume mine will need to be RMA'd now but I was wondering if anyone might have a 2.x image for the other one to get it going. Don't even know if I'll bother sending the 3000 back for RMA because I can pick up an eBay special for about the same price or less if I look. Anywho, don't let me touch anymore electronics. At least not this week anyway.

OK. Off to go hack some Linux...

    do you get any output on the debug port if you turn on dip 3?

    That would be a negative. No VxWorks loaded so no debug. Do you know if it is supposed to get debug at the chip level from this spot?
