It took me three attempts, failing on the SVGA load the first two times, even after switching both K3 and P3 off and then on.
I don't know whether this is significant but I had the SVGA disabled (I have no monitor connected at the moment) the first two times but then decided to turn it back on and the SVGA loaded okay - it could have been coincicidence of course. I had similar issues last upload as well which is very much in contrast to the troublefree uploads I have done on the K3 and KX3 over the years. 73 Stephen G4SJP On 5 March 2013 06:03, Bill Frantz <[email protected]> wrote: > I just finished upgrading my P3 to MCU 1.26, SVGA 1.16 and FPGAx 1.04.
