Init timeout error with 32bit Board
Hi ,
I have just received a 32bit Board but I’m having trouble
getting it to live stream data, perhaps someone can help? The error I’m getting is:
Init timeout Verify your Serial/COM Port Power DOWN/UP your
USB Dongle Then retry Initialization
The GUI works fine for the synthetic data and the dongle is
recognised by the software (COM4). There
is a constant blue light on the 32bit board.
When I plug the dongle in I get a single blue LED flash next
to where it says “gpio2”, but no further lights come on.
I have reinstalled the FTDI drivers and tried to two computers
(one running windows 7 and another with windows 8).
Is this likely to be a problem with the dongle? Would anyone
recommend reinstalling the firmware as the next step, or is there some other
test I can do to identify the problem?
I would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I read through the thread, the discussion was about an 8 bit board, whereas mine is a 32 bit, and I wasn’t sure if the LED should respond in the same way. What I wanted to confirm was; should the LED on the dongle remain on/solid if it is working correctly? Mine only blinks once when I plug it into a USB port and then remains off.
If the problem is with the dongle, then I will try re-uploading the firmware as suggested in the thread.
Thanks

I merged your post into this existing thread. The mainboard with the blinking LED sounds like the firmware is acting oddly. Can you try reflashing the firmware in one or both of your boards? See the posts above.
