I have searched the forum and do not find anything on this topic. 

To make all of our boards compatible, I would like to downgrade some Netduino Plus 2 boards that have 4.3 beta firmware installed back to the latest 4.2 version.  Is there a procedure for this?

Thanks

I am attempting to deploy through a FTDI serial port on a new Netduino Plus 2 (DNMF V4.2.0) with difficulty:

1. Pinged and erased board using MFdeploy through USB port with no problem. 

2. Disconnected USB from netduino. 3. Connected FTDI serial port adapter to D0 for Tx and D1 for RX and common ground. 4. Powered system with 9V to Vin, 5V, and 3.3V. 

5. White and blue LEDs illumninate.

6. Blue goes out after a few seconds. 6. Connected USB cable between host PC and FTDI. 

7. Saw it registered as COM10 in Device Manager. 8. Adjusted MFDeploy to Serial COM10 and tried ping unsuccessfully ("Error: No response from device").

What am I missing?

Thanks...

We are using the netduino plus 2 with .NETMF 4.3 in our application and are are communicating with a Windows PC.

For the limited number of deployed systems, we would like to provide the ability of a sophisticated user to redeploy the hex file image using MFDeploy.  The twist is that we don't want to install Visual Studio on all of the deployed system PCs - we only want to install and use MFDeploy.

When I attempt to install MFDeploy, or really the .NETMF SDK, it requires that I have Visual Studio installed. 

So the question is whether there is a way to install MFDeploy without Visual Studio? 

For example, could we just copy the components of MFDeploy from another installation and relocate them on a PC without Visual Studiio.  If this is possible, then which components are needed?

Thanks for your help...
