I have two KRC2s, and had similar problem with both. Could not get
either to report fw rev, and when trying to download I would get a "no
response" error. The fw that was in both of them was 1.1D5 .
I used HyperTerm to download, and everything worked fine. On one of the
units I had to put it into download mode manually with the commands.
The other one went right into download mode when I flipped the switch
and power cycled.
Now that I have upgraded them, I can get the download utility to get a
response to the Get F/W Rev. button, but I still get "KRC2 Failed to
reply: " error when trying to download. When I initially press the
Download button, I see the commands sent on the screen, and the KRC2
starts flashing the LED. So it seems like it's ready. Maybe there is a
timeout loop too short? The message comes up pretty quickly.
These are both connected to a Win98 machine with real serial ports.

Anybody else having difficulty with this firmware upgrade?
the utility installed correctly
With the DL switch set I can query the KRC2
and get the following response
;KR00;KR73;KRV;KRV KRC2 V1.0;
when I try to upload the firmware I get an error after which time I have
to power cycle the krc2 before it will respond to queries again
KRC failed to reply check KRC2 power, DL switch RS232 cable and com port
;KR00;KR73;KRU;
the KRC2 indicator led flashes about 1 per second
I am running windows 2000 on a fairly modern PC and the com port is a real
hardware one (not a USB adapter)
I have tried with the krc2 powered by the K2 and with the KRC2 powered
directly with no K2 connected.
any Ideas?
