Hi Hans, Not a problem at all, please do update the list. Although I sent a similar response there IIRC.
The probe is in a continuous upgrade loop. It downloads kernel, downloads application, tries an upgrade, fails, reboots, tries again. Since the USB flash has been replaced 3 times and the kernel is also reported “bad” I can only conclude that the internal flash is then flawed. I’ve had several returned probes with that issue too. Please mark the 25855 as a write off yes :) thank you Hans! Cheers, Michel > On 22 Nov 2023, at 19:22, Hans Kuhn <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Michel, > > Thanks for looking at the logfiles.
