Instructions to completely erase a Netduino Go mainboard:

- Hold down the pushbutton on your Netduino Go and plug its USB connection into your PC
- Run the "STDFU Tester" app
- Click the "Protocol" tab up top
- Select the "Erase" option in the "Operation" box on left
- Press the "Create from Map" button

Hi, I am completely new to NetDuino Go. After experiencing the issue several others have, where Visual Studio deploy crashes NetDuino Go, by installing code that makes it unresponsive. I was struggling last night, I searched the forums, Found ST DFUSE, did the erase several times, and installed the firmware 4.2.0.0 several times to no success. What I was not doing correctly, was the step "Press the Create from Map button", even though I was using Erase, and to the novice like me, it appeared to work, since it went through the progress bar and said it was successful. It evidently didn't work. Pressing that Create from Map, made it work. Now I can see my NetDuino Go in MFDeploy and ping it. Where as before it would show up but not ping, I would get communication errors to the device.
It's all a learning experience for me, and even if I bricked it, I would keep going. My background is software for 15 years, so this new hardware stuff is very interesting. Lots to learn.
