I'm working on a program to read RFID tags using a SeeedStudio RFID reader. All the program does now is open a serial port, and echo what comes in. When I try to compile and run the program, I get an error message that says "An error has occurred: please check your hardware". I checked. It's there.
I copied the code from a Program.cs file from a solution that I am able to compile, upload and run and pasted it in place of the code in this Program.cs file. It compiles, but fails to upload.
Any ideas?

OK. This is weird. I was going to post the code. I control-Zed to get back to the code I was trying to upload, and it uploaded just fine. What the heck?

That error usually means that your Netduino didn't boot properly and is stuck in bootloader mode. It shouldn't happen, but it can happen due to incompletely-flashed firmware or C# code gone awry.
If this happens, open up MFDeploy (Start > Programs > .NET Micro Framework SDK > MFDeploy.exe), select USB transport, and then ERASE the program on your Netduino. Or just unplug and reconnect it.
If you can reproduce the issue consistently, please let us know. We want users to have a fantastic experience with .NET MF and Netduino.

Even when the program failed to upload, I had no trouble uploading other programs.
And now I can't reproduce the problem.
But, I can read RFID tags.

I had this exact problem last night. I originally thought it was due to the newest version of the ALPHA firmware that was posted but after reflashing the Netduino with the released version of the firmware, the same error showed up. I went back to the Alpha release and rebooted my computer - the error still persisted. As it turns out for me what fixed it was a re-install of the Netduino SDK. I'm not sure how it got corrupted but when I removed the references to SecretLabs and tried to re-add the references I would get a COM error. Everything is back to normal and the Alpha firmware is running just fine with the re-install.

Hi,
I find myself in the same situation where VS2010 fails deploying to the netduino and only shows "Error 1 An error has occurred: please check your hardware."

How big is your application? The size should be displayed in the Output window when you compile it... This error will also occur if it's too big to fit into flash (which would occur if, say, one added a huge assembly or two to a project).

Hi Chris,
Here's a listing of the assemblies straight from the \debug directory (w/o the .pdb files):
12/16/2010 07:34 PM 5,120 SecretLabs.NETMF.IO.dll
07/28/2010 12:00 AM 5,632 SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.dll
07/28/2010 12:06 AM 7,168 SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino.dll
12/21/2010 03:16 PM 11,264 cartridge.exe
So, the application and its dependencies add up to ~29.2KB which should not be an issue, right?

Ok, I figured it out! It turns out that some folders needed to be "excluded from the project".
I excluded the folder highlighted in red in the attached picture and I was able to deploy the application to the board again.
This is a very obscure error and a misleading message from VS.

So were those resources too big?
Chris
P.S. Looks like a cool project!

The resources are actually quite small and only add up to 719 bytes. So, that's wasn't the issue.
The project is indeed a fun one ;-)

Hi Takao,
What device have you selected for deployment (in Project Properties > .NET Micro Framework > Target)?
Also, what type of Netduino do you have?

Hi, chris,
Thank you for very quick answer.
Then, I re-start my PC then It is now the blink sample working. No-problem.
I will try to use your netduino for this,

Was having the same problem with my Netduino Go and a new project resolved the problem. Thanks Bonnie.

I just bought a NetDuino Plus 2
Got things up and running with VS 2013.
Build a few applications and all was well.
Then I tried flashing the new firmware......
I went through the process described and everything seemed to go well. No errors. I couldn't choose the Verify option at the time of flashing the firmware - it said something to the effect of being in dfu mode.
When attempting to deploy code to my Netduino, I'm getting the error mentioned in the original post and I've tried the suggestions that pertain. However, it looks like I need to re-flash the firmware but my Netduino needs to be in a state such that I can't
When I run MFDeploy
I sees the USB device
If I do a Ping I see
Pinging... TinyBooter
If I do Target | Device Capabilities I get
Not Supported
If I do Plug-in | Debug | Show Device Info I get
Device is not valid
What do I do from here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Shiv
