Bricked RoboRio

[DaveFRC2611]

We were updating the firmware on our RoboRio when we lost power.  Now we are unable to communicate to the device.  The roboRio Imaging Tool version 22.0 shows <No roboRio targets found>.  Tried using the hardware reset.  Looking for suggestions of things to try.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for posting. Is this the original roboRIO, or a roboRIO 2?

Unfortunately, power loss during firmware upgrade probably left the rio in an "unknown" state (meaning, the rio won't know how to boot etc.); however, we have some options to recover it (and which step is next depends on the version of the rio).

I believe this to be the original RoboRio.  M/N # is NI roboRIO, P/N # is 155213F-01L.

The roboRIO should either have the older "National Instruments" logo, or the newer "NI"  logo with "roboRIO 2.0"

Looks to be the original RIO as shown in the pic attached.

I sent you a private message on how to reset the v1 to factory settings.
