BCM50R6 reboots after usb stick is inserted

[koulioumbis]

Hello Team
I have a BCM50R6 working with it now and i try to update to latest SU by using a usb stick.
it is formatted FAT32, and when inserting the usb stick on the machine it reboots.
I tried 3 different usb sticks with same results.
any ideas? I am trying to do a software update by usb as my BEM locked and cannot browse for my computer path...
i support this is another thread... but i have no time to troubleshoot with it now.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Nikos

Hi Nikos

What color is the plastic inside the USB stick?

BCM50 supports 1.0/1.1
In my experience, 2.0 is a hit and miss while 3.0/3.1 is a no go.
Some cheap sticks do not work at all or are flaky.

1.x White
2.0 Black
3.0 Blue
3.1 Teal - Volts & Amps are higher

Those are general colors but there is more colors/meanings

When it reboots did you leave the USB stick in? if so what happened?

Curlycord's advice is spot on. Likely the USB stick is too new for the BCM50. In my experience I've never gotten a USB stick more than 1GB to work.
