[TG] [TG11] a95 MFD doing continual reboot

RE: a95 MFD doing continual reboot
Hello Choroj,

Does the MFD only reboot if the upgrade SD card is inserted, even if the instruments are connected?
What happens if you start the MFD with the card not in (or instruments not connected) and the insert/connect after the MFD is running?

There's no compatibility problem between the instruments, pilot and MFD, per se, but you might get similar symptoms if:
- your SD card had a developing hardware fault. SD cards are made at low cost in large volumes and fail fairly often, and sometimes this can cause problems for one device even whilst the card appears to work ok on another, it depends on what parts of the card media the software is trying to access and how.
- you had a problem with your SeatalkNG network which were causing the MFD's query of network device to produce unexpected results and therefore a software crash
- you have an unrelated problem such as marginal supply voltage to the MFD, and the software upgrade process is just bringing this to light by stressing the system in a different way. On a marginal supply electronics can give a very wide range of unpredictable and seemingly-unrelated problem behaviours.

I'd say don't reset the instruments/pilot, you'll lose calibration and I don't think it will solve the problem.

Let me know the answer to the couple of questions at the top and I'll be able to suggest some next steps.
