firmware download test?
Hi, I have 2 probes that are connected but shown as offline even after several power cycles. I performed USB stick troubleshooting procedures by removing the USB stick and saw NO-USB SOS message. But after inserting the USB stick there wasn't any new SOS messages. Plugged the USB stick to computer and saw corrupted file system. Formatted the stick and inserted it back, still no SOS messages. What kind of filesystem layout is expected on the stick? From what I read the probe should automatically partition/format the stick. Maybe the stick is bad. I do see a good amount of packet loss between the probe's network and the registration server. How robust is the firmware download process (e.g does it abort on TCP RST)? Is there any way to manually load the firmware? Thanks. Yang
Usually, I formatted the disk to FAT32. Let the probe on and connected to internet for about 1/2 hour. On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 9:35 AM, Yang Yu <yang.yu.list@gmail.com> wrote:

In my case it has been on for much longer than an hour, still not even an SOS message. Does the probe stop sending SOS once the USB stick without firmware is inserted? Yang
Is the probe able to get an IP via DHCP? I have found that when you format the USB drive it looks for a DHCP server to get an IP before it will download the firmware, once it has formatted the USB drive it will then pull down the static IP configuration from the Atlas servers.

Yes. It is configured for DHCP on portal also.

After a few more attempts one probe came online. Firmware download was probably a challenge due to high packet loss. It would be nice to have SOS messages indicating no firmware/firmware downloading. Yang
