Some users may erase their Netduino Minis completely to use them as low-cost ARM development boards or to otherwise tinker. In this case, it will necessary to redeploy the TinyBooter bootloader before redeploying the Netduino Mini firmware. Reflashing a Netduino Mini after a full erase requires an RS232 connection to your Netduino Mini. The TinyBooter booloader (v4.1.0.6) is attached to this post for your convenience.
