Hey all,

 

I attempted to use my Netduino board which I have not touched in a year or so and had some major difficulties.

 

PC connecting to:   windows7 - 64 bit

 

After trying many things I finally decided to follow the instructions and try a complete hard reset.  I jumped the 3.3V to the pad and then used SAM-BA v2.12 to send the bootloader to the netduino.  I used version 4.1.0.6 I found in one of the posts.  This seemed to work ok.  I also installed MF SDK version 4.1 and Netduino SDK version 4.1.0 64 bit.

 

Now, I read the next step is to flash the firmware using the MFDeploy tool, however, whenever I attempt to do a ping ... it hangs and eventually comes back saying unable to connect or something like that.  When I select USB in the tool though, it does show the Netduino.

 

It should be noted that when connected, both LEDs are lit constantly and I do see the Netduino in the device manager as "Netduino" under USB controllers.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?  I am all out of ideas.

Hi grooch,

 

Sorry for the troubles.  Please try upgrading to .NET MF 4.2 instead.  The production 4.2 firmware uses new WinUSB drivers...and they may take care of things for you here.

 

Please let us know if that works.  Thank you.

 

Chris
