v4.3 NetduinoGo.dll Has Bad References to v4.2 Assemblies

It appears that there are some problems in the references in the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo DLL that are preventing me from  being able to execute my "blinky" first app on my new Netduino Go.

Background info on myself: I am new to Netduino, but am a professional .Net developer. Please take that into consideration about what I know and don't know. Quote: We are all stupid, just in different ways.

I am running the following:

Visual Studio Ultimate 013 Version 12.0.31101.00 Update 4

I first tried this with the Netduino Firmware v4.3.2.2, release date 14-May-2015. When that did not work, I tried installing the Netduino Go Firmware v4.3.2 (beta 1) by following Chris Walker's post on May 9, 2015 01:35 AM.  The diagnostic data I'm about to show is from that environment:

Netduino Go Firmware v4.3.2 (beta 1)
.Net Micro Framework SDK v4.3.1.0 (not sure how to check this, so I checked File and Product version of the Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.dll, and it is 4.3.1.0).
NETMF plug-in for VS 2013
Netduino SDK v4.3.2.1 (not sure how to verify this, however. I uninstalled the SDK, then downloaded the link from Chris Walkers page and installed it. Before and after doing this, the version of the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo.dll was 4.3.1.0. How can I verify I'm on 4.3.2.1?)

In Visual Studio I have checked every file in the projects "References" section and they are all coming from version 4.3 folders.  Earlier, the mscorlib was coming from a v4.2 folder, but I fixed that (see another post on this forum where I discuss that and what I did to fix it).

My Blinky program compiles fine but when I run it in debug mode (on the Netduino hw, not in the emulator), I get the following errors in the VS Output window for Debug data (see Exhibit A output below).

Note that part of the Exhibit A output that appears just before the error a3000000:

Assembly: GSWN.C3.Blinky (1.0.0.0) needs assembly 'SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo' (4.3.1.0)

Assembly: SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo (4.3.1.0) needs assembly 'SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino' (4.2.1.0)

Assembly: SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo (4.3.1.0) needs assembly 'Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware' (4.2.0.0)

Error: a3000000


The first line tells me my app references NetduinoGo 4.3.1.0. Good. That is my intent.

The 2nd and 3rd lines tell me that the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo version 4.3.1.0 library was compiled referencing to old v4.2 assemblies; the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino DLL and the Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware DLL.

Looks like I need some updated files from Secret Labs. Or is my analysis off somehow?

Thanks,

Brad

Note: I added several more "exhibits" to hopefully give additional version info about my environment. See below.

FYI: I went to Control Panel | Programs and Features  and it looks like I have .Net Micros Framework SDK 4.3 QFE2 installed.

Also, I'm developing on a Windows 8.1 PC with all updates applied.

No replies here and I still have a Netduino Go that I can't run anything on.

Is there anyone out there successfully using the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoGo (4.3.1.0) DLL without the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino (4.2.1.0) DLL?

Or could anyone at least comment and say whether they think I'm correct in this post or whether I need to keep trying, i.e. that I'm doing something wrong?

In reading other things on this forum, it does seem like the Go has been sort of abandoned...

I'm using the Go! with the 4.2 Firmware and the 4.2 dlls. That works for me. Afaik the 4.3 Firmware ist still beta for the Go!.

I have the same issue DiverBW, and version 4.2 won't run on VS 2013  Any updates on this firmware?

I ended up returning my Netduino Go right after I posted this thread and buying a Netduino 2 instead. Since I no longer have a Go, therefore I  have not been keeping up with this issue. So I can't answer your question one way or the other.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

The firmware from here does not have this issue: http://forums.netdui...-v432-update-3/
