I have done a mistake in programming a COM port and therefore have an overflow when connecting to Netduino with MTFdeploy. On another thread I saw that somebody had the same issue and solved it with ERASE from MTFdeploy after pressing the button on Netduino and then connecting Netduino to the USB port. However, the USB device is not found in MTFdeploy when connecting it to the USB port WHILE pressing the button, so I can try to erase, but there is no device Any help is very much appreciated. Many thanks Andi

Hi Andi,

However, the USB device is not found in MTFdeploy when connecting it to the USB port WHILE pressing the button, so I can try to erase, but there is no device

Hmm, that should work. Can you please try that again?

If that doesn't work, you can erase your Netduino by touching 3V3 power to the gold ERASE pad and then reflashing the bootloader via SAM-BA (and the NETMF firmware via MFDeploy).

I found the trick. My program was using LED and the button. Disconnecting both modules from the 2 sockets crashed (I guess) the program so the overflow coming from writing data to the COM port in an endless loop stopped. Therefore I could then ERASE the Netduino. After that I had to un-comment all lines concerning the LED and the button in my program and could then re-deploy from VS

Hi Andi, Hmm, very interesting. If you experience this issue again and can repro it, please send us a copy of the repro case. Also, I just realized that you're using a Netduino Go. Indeed, the "erase app" process is different on Netduino Go. I read "Netduino" and gave you instructions for the wrong board. Sorry Chris
