Dear FLEX-5000 customers, We have received a handful of reports of intermittent and random lock up failures on the FLEX-5000 running PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1.
The symptoms can be as follows: 1. Failure to return to receive after transmit, which is usually corrected by keying the radio. 2. Intermittent failure to transmit power. 3. Random failure to tune the receiver. This morning we determined that there is a random timing related bug in the I2C control code on the FLEX-5000. We are putting top priority on resolving the issue as soon as possible. This is one of the final few bugs that need to be addressed before PowerSDR 2.0 goes to official release status. Thanks to those of you who reported and helped us to quantify the symptoms. If you are having any the above noted problems, you have the option to go back to v2.0.16 or v1.18.6 until we resolve the problem. If reverting to v2.0.16, you will need to manually reinstall v2.0.7.0 firmware for the FLEX-5000. PowerSDR v1.18.6 requires firmware version 1.3.0.8. Our team sincerely appreciates the overwhelming positive response to v2.0.19 RC1 we have received from so many of you. 73, Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio Systems(TM) 13091 Pond Springs Road, #250 Austin, TX 78729 Phone: 512-535-4713 Ext. 202 Email: [email protected] Web: www.flexradio.com <http://www.flex-radio.com/> Tune In Excitement (TM) PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
