Some serious issues with Netduino+2

error hardware

Best Answer woof_woof_bark_bark, 05 August 2014 - 11:25 AM

Thanks for the reply, I don't know what I did between my multiple attempts to get the board working, but suddenly after plugging it one of the many times it just worked and now I got the firmware updated to 4.3.1.

 

Being new to this board, I do have one question. I'm working on this project that seems to be wrong, and after trying to put it on my board I found that when I went back to trying to but previously working programs on my board I get the error "An error has occurred. Please check your hardware." While reading the forums I thought the way to fix this would be to plug/unplug the netduino and then erase using MFDeploy. However, when I click erase after all this, nothing shows up that can be erased.

 

The only solution I've found to get the board working again is to reinstall the firmware, and I don't think that I should have to be doing that. Any Ideas what might be going on or what I might be doing wrong (besides writing a code that doesn't work)?

Hello all,

      I just recently got my netduino in the mail Thursday, and I seem to have several issues with it. While trying to install a basic led flashing sequence, (I had had it installed earlier but tried to write another program that ended up wrong and scratched for the time being) I am prevented by the error "An error has occurred. Please check your hardware"

 

Like I said the board is brand new, and I don't know what could be wrong.

 

Things I've tried:

-Using MFDeploy, I tried looking at the device capabilities for the purpose of updating the firmware in hopes that might fix everything and sometimes if I try multiple times I get something that makes sense but most of the time I get pages of lines that read: "Failed allocation for 5 blocks, 60 bytes"

 

-I've also tried hitting erase in MFDeploy while trying to follow the steps to update the firmware and all I get is a constant stream of "Failed allocation for 5 blocks, 60 bytes"

 

-I've installed the installer for the latest firmware and my device doesn't show up.

 

- I've installed other programs the STDFU Tester application as instructed by the forums if the previous issue comes up, and that also seems to do nothing/doesn't recognize the device.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\

 

My goal was to try and return this to factory settings as it was working for a period out of the box but the errors seem to be overwhelming and I'm trying to fix this quite quickly.

Hi mtd9428,

Sorry for the troubles.

Which firmware release are you trying to upgrade to? 4.3.1?

What version of the NETMF and Netduino SDK do you have installed?

When you run Netduino Update and put your board into bootloader mode (by pressing and holding the pushbutton while plugging it in via USB port), does the board show up in the software? What does it show up as in Device Manager?

Welcome to the Netduino community,

Chris

Hi mtd9428,

If you run into any troubles deploying apps: as a workaround, you can erase your current app using Netduino Update.

To do this, put your mainboard into bootloader mode (holding the pushbutton while powering it up via your USB port). Then select "advanced/options" for your board, switch to the second tab of the pop-up, and erase your current app.

Does that get you back up and going?

Chris
