I have been debugging my Netduino Minis using the TTL UART (COM1 on pins 11 and 12). I followed the instructions at Getting Started with a Netduino Mini by Fabien Royer to set them up. However, now I want to switch back to debugging over RS-232 (COM2 on pins 1-4). I can't seem to find a way to do this. Do I need to flash the devices to make the switch?

Hi Kevin,
You indeed need to flash the RS232 firmware to the Netduino Mini to accomplish that as far as I know.

Had the exact same problem last night.. but found the answer here http://forums.netdui...p?showtopic=945 This version of MFDeploy lets you switch ports (although is seems like COM1/2 is switched around - but I might have been tired).

That did it, Claus! Thank you. But as you said, COM1/COM2 are backwards in the application. I selected COM1 to switch the deployment transport to the RS-232 UART, which is COM2.
