problem with starting rp2470

[Hrvoje Dubravica]

After power loss my rp2470 is down. Since switch is in on position I tried to start it from GSP with pc command. Normally, it works, but

Does anybody know, should I upgrade firmaware or ...

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Hrvoje,

although there is firmware C.02.14 available, I doubt it would fix it, the firmware text does not mention a similar problem.

Therefore, I guess your only option is to do what you are told: Go to the machine and physically switch off and on.

I'm having the same issue. Resstting power does not solve anything.Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi All,

This is a known issue on these systems. If power is lost suddenly & shortly, it seems to cause problems after it comes back.
Try manually pulling the power for 30-60 seconds & replug back in. Then proceed with normal startup.
I think what happens is the GSP gets confused when the power drops for a *short* time period, but fully resets for a longer outage.

Rgds,
Jeff
