Created a pull-request for this - noticed that the built-in flash is not supported by the command line tools: https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/pull/842

Dear @rghilduta, I ran into the same problem - the metadata mode makes the dual-channel mode fail (BLADERF_RX_X2) both in sync and async mode. I was able to reproduce the...

Dear @rghilduta, I did [more experiments](https://github.com/meriac/bladeRF/tree/debug_meta) - by [instrumenting sync_rx_meta.c](https://github.com/meriac/bladeRF/blob/57316cd9b2082a8f4b25fee79798c6084996e76a/host/libraries/libbladeRF/doc/examples/sync_rx_meta.c#L78-L102) I was able to create a [simpler piece of code to reproduce the problem](https://github.com/meriac/bladeRF/commit/57316cd9b2082a8f4b25fee79798c6084996e76a). You can see that the timestamp...

@rghilduta: For completeness, I can reproduce the problem with https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/tree/dev-mimo as well (BLADERF_RX_X2 mode).

@rghilduta: I did some packet capture of the problem. I am increasingly sure that the problem is inside the bladeRF firmware/FPGA. In the capture you can see the flawless stream...

There seem to be others facing the same problem receiving metadata in dual-channel mode (keeping in mind that SoapySDR uses meta-flags enabled by default): 1. [BladeRF xA4/SoapySDR: not receiving full...

@rghilduta: I can confirm that by [downgrading the bladeRF FPGA](https://www.nuand.com/fpga_images/) to version v0.11.1 stops the BladeRF from freezing up. The sucessor - v0.12.0 - crashes already the same way. I...

@rghilduta: I've discarded using the dev-mimo branch as it didn't show improvements over the master branch. For your convenience - here are [my edits to sync_rx_meta for reproducing the problem](https://github.com/meriac/bladeRF/commit/57cb5d7f55f75279e40e0e816fa4768506455ce8)....

2021-10-04 - v0.14.0 FPGA is still broken for xA4 and xA9 with no later version available - this is super annoying as the latest known version of the FPGA firmware...
