Hi there,

After imaging ROMI with WPILibPi_64_image-v2023.2.1-Romi image file, got to web ui of dashboard, all things work fine.

But when I updated firmware, always got “avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding” error, after reset ROMI 32U4 board it can’t help anything.

Please help to check what problem I’ve got. Thanks in advanced.

here is full error stacks:

Change USB cable, and reset with double cllick 32U4 before update firmware solve the problem.
