B2 Update with USB stick problem

Post by matse »

Hi,

I wanted to update my Bubba|2 following this instruction:

http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/R ... ubba2_/_B3

but it fails. According to the instruction, the LED should start blinking at 4 Hz within 30 seconds, but it keeps blinking at 2 Hz forever. I have repeated the procedure a number of times without success. Even tried different USB Sticks (FAT, FAT32).

My Bubba|2 has a 1TB disk.

Any advise appreciated!

Thanks,
Mats

Your usb need to have a partition table, dunno how common that is.
Try to watch for usb activity (blinking usb stick led)

Hi,

Ok. I have a 16Gb USB stick lying around. It's formatted with NTFS. How could I can split this into two partitions, one wiht 1GB for holding the Bubba update, and the rest with NTFS?

Thanks,
Mats

If you email support@excito.com with your adress, we can send you a stick that we know is working, to rule out this is the problem?
