BEO5 write timeout

29 replies

Did you already have the "write timeout" message?

It's a new message for me, because I use the same software, the same Pc and the same cables...

What to do???

thanks

I will try to help you, but I need some more information:

What version are your Tool?

Does this happen each time you download and you have liftet and repositioned your remote?

How big is your configuration? You can see some details when you are finalizing...

Are you using a Beo5 as suggested in subject or are you using a Beo6? The transfer method is different...

The transfer is different on those?

Hello Guffas,

Thank's for your help.

oups I forgot one:

It's a BEO5

If i remember right, I allso have problem with 3.59

With 4.11 i dont have this problem.

Get the version 4.11 and you are over that problem :-)

I agree, try to find the 4.11 version somewhere.

You configuration is not to big,  345 Kbytes is less than 2 Mega bytes.

It is important that your USB wire between the computer and the Beo5 is not to long. It is possible to get a very short adaptor from Normal USB to mini USB.

You can also try to use an USB hub between the computer and the Beo5. Some USB controllers are not working well with the Beo5.

Yes I agree. Since I have converted my B5 to B6 when I upload the software to the B6 it tells me that it is connected to a USB device but still updates the software. Also when I work on the software my WIFI goes and I need to restart if Iwant to use it.

What difference does a hub make? WHich USB Version is the Beo5/6? Is it 1.1?

I think the USB version is 1.1

A USB hub is a device that expands a single USB port into several so that there are more ports available to connect devices to a host system.

Everything is ok with V 4.11.

Again a BEO bug...  👍
