Why is there not ONE place in this form to find ALL of the code necessary to update ALL of the Netduino versions? Seems like this would better serve the community. Maybe it is just me, but hopping around collecting parts here and there, makes be wonder if I am using the correct software and if have everything I need to fix, upgrade or downgrade. Not that I'm lazy.. But it makes sense to me! Thanks for letting me rant.....

Your right, we don't have a single place... To help with that I've created a wiki page which includes the firmware information and links to the download and the release notes. Currently it only contains 4.1.1 Beta 1 and 4.2.0 RC3 but I'll try to add a few more.

That link is for 4.2.0 RC3 which last I heard we were not recommending for most users yet.

Just gonna throw in my $0.02. Would definitely be nice to have one page on the site with all the updates. Is this something SL can work towards?

I think that at least for the time being (if not permanently) the wiki page will likely suffice.

Hi willgeorge,

Are you looking for the code for various firmware releases--or the binary files to flash onto your Netduino?

If the binary files are scattered about, we can absolutely clean that up on the Downloads page.

I am not looking for anything specific at this time. Just a thought I had POP into my old brain.

Actually, I had a problem with one of my Netduinos and was looking around for the latest 'official' code
and I was not sure what I really needed for updating. I wanted to make sure I had 'everything' before I started.
(Some time ago I had a problem trying to find the correct SAM-BA bootloader for what I was doing)


The problem with the Netduino turned out to be my code. How could that be?

I hate it when I begin a task and I find out that I am missing something..... Bummer...

And as a side note: How is your book comming along? I have it on order (cash in advance) for what seems like months.

We finished editing the manuscript last week, so it's now off to production (and printing). I'm looking forward to heading over to the bookstore and picking up a copy!

I forgot to include the Stables versions (and at the time I couldn't remember where they were). They are now listed as well.
