Update to 1.10.16.91

Member ✭✭
Updating to 1.10.16 from last full update.and had the following experience. Update went thru several restarts and then hung with the purple light and the updating message. I tried to power down by holding power button in for a minute but no power down happened. I shut off power supply for 20 seconds and then restarted power supply and the message and purple light came back. tried removing the ethernet cable but didn't help. I tried a Windows system restart and the Flex 6500 went thru a norman startup and all is working now. Just wanted to share with fellow Flexers.

    Hi Ed,

    I uninstall the old version reboot , install the new, reboot then update the radio, so far so good. Its a windows thing :)

    Ed, when the radio is performing a firmware update, SmartSDR running has absolutely nothing to do with that process.  Occasionally a processor will not reboot after an update and the radio has to be manually restarted.  This situation is covered in the Release Notes.
