I deleted my .NETMF and Netduino SDKs and downloaded and installed the latest 4.2. I took an unused (4.1.0.6) Plus board, erased it using the pad, loaded the boot with SAMBA, loaded the 4.2RC5 firmware and config with MFDeploy without problem. Afterwards, Ping, no response. Started over again with boot, firmware, config, still no response. Unplugged the USB cable, blue screen, reboot, launch MFDeploy Ping OK, restored the MAC. Ping, no reply. Tried deploying my code from VS no go. The board will occasionally respond to MFDeploy and reports correct MAC but I have not been able to deploy from VS at all. Tried various USB ports, reset button pushes, reconnects, nothing.

Have you tried to restart (from the onboard button) the N+ and ping it again? You using static IP? I´ve have noted that mine board seems works OK with DHCP, or the restart. But on other two boards, from friends of mine the network apparently worked fine on preliminary tests.

Any known schedule on 4.2?

I have parked my project pending better dhcp... would like to get back into it!

Hello mate,

Chris sad on April 5, on the RC4 topic (post #116):

"If RC5 works well for everyone, we'll switch the PWM and AnalogInput classes over to the new 4.2 ones (the same ones implemented already on Netduino Go) and then ship a final RC6/RTM for Netduino."

The RC5 is out, I personaly having some network issues with it, but the more ppl testing it the faster the RC6 and RTM may be avaliable.

Maybe not, but I can try to jump in!
I am able to successfully deploy the tinybooterdecompressor.

Afterwards, the netduino will not enumerate over USB. I have verified that the tinybooterdecompressor is programmed to 0x100000. I must be missing a step because after a power cycle, the device has the tinybooterdecompressor but I can not access it in mfdeploy. (it isn't avail over USB and pinging over serial yields no response)

I am using a usb->serial converter to do the flash erases/programming. I have tried multiple versions of the tinybooterdecompressor.

FWIW sam-ba 2.8 works for me under compat mode. (I am W7 64 bit) I have Micro SDK 4.1 and 4.2


[this is not a + device. -- I need the latest beta firmware for I2C internal addressing. I have an AVR-ISP if that helps.]

Didn´t you forgot to set it to boot from flash in SAM-BA (on the scripts combobox), before the power cycle? Idk how it may helps, but there are a new version of SAM-BA (v2.11) too.

Hello Chris! Can you tell me SAM7X devboard name?

Would it be the at91sam7x512-ek ?

I´ve made more tests, and my current situation is: I erase the N+, put the 4.2RC5, configure the network (fixed IP, MAC address set too), and it don´t answer to network (pings). If I restart it (from onboard button or from MFDeploy), with the network cable plugged, it starts the network and it works till power disconnection (even if I disconnect the network cable several times). A restart with the cable disconnected don´t make network to start. Is there anyway to get more debug information? Idk what to do, beside going back to 4.1, again ;/
