My team developed a Phidgets based robotic control system 4 or 5 years ago. We had everything working very well. I have recently tried to set up an old SBC2 with a fresh install for another system. When I try to use the web interface to install gcc I get the output from the package manager posted at the end of this message.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
build-essential : Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed
Done.
I read in another post that http://www.emdebian.org was discontinued and that we should upgrade to the full debian 7 firmware.
My Problem - I have downloaded the new SBC2 firmware phidget2_1.1.1.20150804.bin to a thumbdrive and plugged it into a USB port on the SBC2. Then I went to system->backup&restore and clicked GO to enter recover mode. After it roboots I am expecting to be able to upgrade the system but it says
"No suitable upgrade files were found. Please attach as USB drive containing suppored upgrade file(s) and reload this page. Supported files are UBI Images (system_ubi.img), Kernel images (uImage) and Upgrade packages containing both (phidgetsbc2-*.bin). Upgrades must be done from a USB drive. See product manual for more information."
Am I missing something?
