So the questions:

• Is anybody tried to build current netduino 2 firmware v4.2.2 source with gcc?

• What necessary to use versions of [color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]Porting Kit and gcc[/color]?

 

Denislam:

I believe you used the wrong version of the wiki article you referenced.  See this one:  http://wiki.netduino...to-GCC-4-6.ashx

Follow it precisely.  Install the PK, overwrite with the 4.2.2 firmware sources from SecretLabs, then overwrite with the changes contained in the archive attached to that wiki.  Then follow the build instructions to the letter.

I was having the same issue you were.  The problem is that the two versions of the wiki article are nearly identical and the link at the top makes it a little confusing as to which firmware version the article applies to.

Before saying anything else, I would like to make clear that being that Netduino and its SDK are open source and free, one can't be demanding or critical of SecretLabs and Chris, who are being extremely generous by providing such awesome tools for little to no cost.  That said...

JoopC, wanting proper documentation is not a sign of incompetence.  On the contrary, not documenting one's software is - particularly if it is an SDK or other component to be used by others.  There are those who hack at stuff to feel or appear clever and those whose aim is to be productive.  The latter want documentation.  If you produced an SDK for the company I work for (very large and Blue) and didn't provide usable documentation, you'd rightly be fired.  

Hi mdremond, Netduino 4.3.1 firmware source: http://forums.netdui...es-source-code/ Chris

That's great, thanks!  I was able to get 4.2.2 built and deployed.  Now I'll give 4.3.1 a shot.  Thanks again.

I also would like to build the firmware (4.2.2 or preferably 4.3) but gave up after seeing a sea of red and yellow during the build.  If anyone gets 4.2.2 built using gcc 4.6 I'd sure like some guidance.

Also...  How long do we figure until the 4.3 firmware and/or SDK sources will be made available?

Thanks!
