USRP-2920 flash update problem, bricked, Your device does not correctly report its version information

[NeoGHOST]

Hi,

I have several pcs of USRP-2920, but 2 pcs of the same age can not be flashed.

In normal run it does not react in any way. Only status LEDs starts up.

In safe mode (S2 button) I can see it in configuration utility, but it is impossible to change the IP or update the images.

When updating the FW and FPGA, there is the omnious warning:

Your device does not correctly report its version information. It is possible to damage a device with the incorrect FPGA image revision. Please ensure that you are using the correct image version for your hardware by checking the sticker on the back of the device (e.g. r:2.0 implies that you should use the r2 image file). Press OK to proceed or Cancel to abort.

It finishes the update procedure, but nothing changes.

It seems to be a firmware problem.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks a lot.

I think the best option is to send the USRP for RMA (repair). Changing FPGA firmware may damage the device. I had such an incident in the past 😞
