Hi! I am new to NetDuino community and also to the device!

 

I bought two NetDuino Plus 2 boards this week. Since i am new to them, so playing with them to understand how they work.  One of the board has an issue now.

When i plug it in, and  ping it, it says

 

"Pinging.....TinyBooter

Bootloader build inof: Netudino Plus 2(V4.2.2.2.) by Secret Labs LLC

 

Even without pressing the pushbutton at plug in, it appear in bootloader mode. When i press pushbutton, and select USB in .NETMF, it is blank. 

 

 Target->Device Capabilities show " No Supported"

 

I cannot enter TinyClr mode

 

I tried to re-install firmware using the link below

http://forums.netdui...-v422-update-2/

 

but DFUTester does not show the device  (whether i press the pushbutton or not ).When i try to install the firmware using Dfuse Demonstration and try to chose firmware, Upgrade button get disabled. 

 

In short, i cannot configure it as a server or client for my project. One of the device is working properly as server, when i try to send request to the server from client (this very same device which i mentioned above). it cannot send request and in .NET only "assemblies deploy " option appear. 

 

I dont know what to do to tackle this situation. 

Thanks 

escallanio.

Hi escallanio, Can you try to upgrade your board to the new 4.3.1 firmware using "Netduino Update"? http://forums.netdui...-firmware-v431/ You may need to push the button firmly when you power it up (i.e. when you plug it into your PC via USB). Also...make sure that nothing else is attached to the Netduino when you reflash it. Welcome to the Netduino community, Chris

Hi Chris
Thank you for your reply. I tried to upgrade to the new 4.3.1 firmware, but was not successful. The reason is that, it is not booting in DFU Tester in order to erase the existing firmware. I tried many times by pushing the button firmly when i power it up but still it does not appear in DFU. Alternatively, I tried to upgrade it (without erasing existing firmware) to the latest firmware 4.3.1 via Dfuse Demo, however when i attach the latest firmware in the "Upgrade or verify Action" section, the firmware is attached, but upgrade option get disabled.
 
In .NETMF, when i ping it, it is automatically in bootloader form. When i firmly push the button while plugging it via USB, then the device does not appear in USB section of .NETMF.  Irrespective of pressing the pushbutton while plugging to laptop, it always appear in Tinybooter mode and never goes to Tinyclr. (I tried to upgrade my second board, it was successfully upgrade to the latest 4.3.1 as it gives Tinyclr when i ping it.). Perhaps there might be problem with the board?

Hi escallanio,

Most likely...the button on your board is broken. If it's a new board (purchased in the last month), we can swap it for a new board for you.

In the meantime, can you try "erasing the current app" via MFDeploy and re-deploying ER_CONFIG.S19 via MFDeploy? If TinyCLR is intact on your board, that should get your board booting again.

[You can find ER_CONFIG.S19 in the firmware folder on the Netduino Update app...the ER_CONFIG.S19 file (which is a .HEX file named as .S19) didn't change between NETMF 4.2.2 and 4.3.1.]

Hi Chris

 
Thanks for the reply. I tried to erase the current app using Erase button on MFDeploy. When i browse and try to re-deploy ER-CONFIG.S19 via MFDeploy. It does not appear in the browse option. Though they are present there in the Firmware Folder 4.3.1.
 
As i have ordered two more boards recently, who will have Firmware 4.2.2, I would like to know if i can have a direct link to ER-CONFIG.S19 for  firmware 4.2.2 instead of 4.3.1 firmware (As far as 4.3.1 is concerned, ER-CONFIG.S19 is in the firmware folder but i cannot pick this hex file when i browse it as it does not appear. I have attach the screenshot for it.

 

(I have been searching for ER_CONFIG.S19 for 4.2.2 firmware since yesterday but not been able to locate it)

 

Thanks
