Hi gismo,

...Is it really that easy? How can I be sure my changes made it's way into the compile firmware?

To add to what CW2 recommended...

When I want to really make sure that I'm running newly-compiled firmware, I do the following:

1. Change the solution description/version (as CW2 mentioned).
2. Delete the entire \MicroFrameworkv#.##\BuildOutput folder.
3. Use the /t:rebuild option when compiling
4. Erase the mainboard using STDFU tester
5. Try to boot the board, if desired, to make sure it's really erased
6. Reflash from the new firmware files

@CW2... Thank you very very much for putting this together!!!! 

 

Now if we can get someone to write some managed CAN drivers.......

Hello, i need to compile for ND+2. Someone can help me with a step by step guide?

Thanks

Hi, I followed the instructions to hopefully fix my "broken" netduino 2... I'm not sure what happend to it but it wont respond anymore... It shows up in device manager under USB devices as "netduino" and the MFDeploy sees it and lists it but says "Pinging... Error: No response from device"

 

Anyway, hoping flashing the firmware would work I did these steps, everything is great up till I run the Netduino Update utility, even though it shows up in MFDeploy and device manager, nothing is listed in the Netduino Update utility....

 

Also, I have tried other things, resetting the gold pin under D0, cant get SAM-BA to see it either... no com ports i think? idk what else to do ...

 

Help?

In an attempt to compile a custom firmware for my NP2, I've been doing a lot of reading, and despite my newness to this space, I feel I'm getting close on building 4.3.1 for Netduino Plus 2, but I don't know the first thing about the scatterfile required for NP2's architecture.

 

Based on a comment in this chain, it sounded like they were pretty similar, so as a thought, I used the Nupdate4.3.1's N2 scatterfile as a substitute, and it got the assemblies mostly built, but I fear it's probably not right...

 

With a modified environment script, I'm running VS2013 Premium on Win8.1, with a fresh sdk/pk 4.3.1 code pull (rev 42622) from codeplex, and the Nupdate4.3.1 laid over the top, and I'm using the GCC 4.8.3 compiler.  

 

My command output window is attached.  Any guidance is appreciated, thanks!

 

Hopefully more readable, here is the compilation error I'm receiving:

I've succesfully built firmware for NP2. As mentioned above, a proper scatterfile_bootloader_gcc.xml & scatterfile_tinyclr_gcc.xml required. You can obtain these files from http://wiki.netduino...to-GCC-4-6.ashx(see attachments on wiki page).

[NameOfTheDragon]

According to .NET Micro Framework Porting Kit 4.3 ReleaseNotes.txt "Either Visual Studio 2012 (Express edition or greater) or both .NET Framework 3.5 and Windows SDK for Windows" is required.
 
In order to get Visual Studio 2013 working, you'd have to modify setenv_base.cmd - add %VS120COMNTOOLS% to the block of conditions, or simply change the existing %VS110COMNTOOLS% to 12. However, I am not sure this would be enough, due to the MSBuild 2013 changes and several project files having incorrect and/or missing ToolsVersion attribute.

 

I was trying to build this under VS2013, as it is what I have installed, and made the edits to setenv_base.cmd as suggested above.

 

It all starts well and then in the middle of the build spews out pages of similar error messages, of the form:

Is that something anyone has seen before? The error doesn't really hint at what's going wrong, at least not to me.

 

Just in case, I made sure my source was in a directory with a really short name - D:\ND2
