Hello I'm struggling quite a bit getting the network chip to work reliably on the netduino plus, something I'm keen to try is either disabling and re-enabling it or resetting it. Are there any methods that will let me do that? Thanks Stephen

Hi Stephen, If you erase your Netduino Plus and reflash it with the "regular" Netduino firmware, it'll disable the networking and SD card. If you do this, be sure to flash both the TinyBooter bootloader and the .NET MF runtime (TinyCLR). Chris

Hello Chris
Thank you for your quick reply. What I was thinking of really was effectively re-setting the network chip via software. My Socket.Connect command seems to hang my netduino plus quite frequently. I've tried various different work rounds and the one that seems to work best, so far, is to connect when I get a NetworkChange_NetworkAvailabilityChanged event which currently I can only generate by plugging and un-plugging the network connector. I was thinking of booting up with network off, switch it on, get the event then connect.

Hi Chris

After a reflash with the "regular" netduino FW, I try to use the sd card with the

StorageDevice.MountSD("SD", Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SPI.SPI_module.SPI2, (Cpu.Pin)49);

.
Unfortunately this wouldn't work.

Have you any idea to use the built in SD card ?

Hi Joschua, If you erase your Netduino Plus and reflash it with the "regular" Netduino firmware, it'll disable the networking and SD card. The upcoming v4.1.1 beta will let you use the SD card on your Netduino Plus, but for now you'll need to use the Netduino Plus firmware instead. Chris

Hi Chris

Thanks for your answer. I flased the NetduinoPlus with the Netduino v4.1.1.0 a7 FW. So I have to wait for the a8 version ?

I'm not sure if you noticed yet, but 4.1.1 Beta 1 was just released which will allow you to access the SD card using the Netduino firmware.
