This is a fascinating problem with these NI-MLXs, because really, no two cards seem to act alike. I'm trying to configure a second NI-MLX, and I'm getting this response, now:<br><br>WARN: LP slot 1's application image version ( 3 3 0 6) doesn't match that of the MP ( 4 0 0 3) - put LP in interactive mode.<br>
<br>Updating fpgas for the card doesn't work.<br>Trying to get the line card to boot from from the mp primary doesn't work.<br>Pulling in and out of interactive mode doesn't work.<br>Updating ironware and monitor/boot image separately doesn't work<br>
Reloading the entire image and then loading fpgas doesn't work.<br><br>Each tried several times. Has anyone else seen these things as just unreliable? I can't get a simple line card to just come up. <br><br>Help, as usual, is very much appreciated.<br>

They keep looping through a "CARD_STATE_BOOT" "CARD_STATE_SW_LOADED " "CARD_STATE_SYNC_FID" loop, but won't come up active. I can't update the lp files unless the card comes up. I've tried this:<br>

exit<br>
wr mem<br>
Power-off lp [slot#]<br>
