RoboRIO2 not imaging

[mriney]

Hello,

FRC 8116 is having issues with a particular roboRIO2. We bought a backup roboRIO2 last season and never got it out of the box. We just now got it out to prepare for this coming season and it will not image. We use the same computer that has imaged 3 other roboRIO2's, so I feel like it is a problem with this particular roboRIO2. On occasion the image comes off as a success but then we don't have com's and the status light blinks twice, but most of the time we get an error message that ends with "Status: corrupt firmware, cannot run." I'll attach the error below. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

HI!, Thanks for posting on the forums!

To clarify, when you saying image the roboRIO 2's, you are referring to imaging the the microSD card?

And you are seeing this behavior with just one roboRIO 2? -> can you move an microSD card from a working one to the non-working one and report what that does?

Thanks! Believe it or not, your post helped me a ton. Apparently we have had only roboRIO's up until now, and this is our first roboRIO 2.0. I am trying to flash the SD card through balenaEtcher now, but I cannot find the file that I need to flash onto the SD card. Where can I find that file to download?

The image zips can be found in `C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2020\project\roboRIO Tool\FRC Images` after install the FRC Game Tools
