Can not deploy to Domino device anymore

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 10:19am

Using VS 2010 I used to be able to deploy to my Domino device, but now I get a ‘Check Hardware’ message.

I’ve uninstalled everything, then installed :-

MS Microframework 4.1 SDK
GHI SDK 4.1 (Version 1.0.11)
GHI NETMF USB Drivers 64-Bit Auto Installer

I’ve used MSDeploy and erased the device.
Then I’ve used TeraTerm and Tranmitted C:\Program Files (x86)\GHI Electronics\GHI NETMF v4.1 SDK\USBizi\Firmware\USBizi_CLR.GHI sucessfully, then disconnected.

I still get, when pressing ‘V’ in firmware update mode, 1.07 coming from the board?

It this the correct version??

Using MSDeploy, connecting and list Device Capabilies I get :-

Pinging… TinyCLR

And finaly, VS assemblies have been removed and re-added, these are :-

All GHI assemblies are Runtime Version v4.0.30319 and version 4.1.3.0
All Microsoft assemblies are Runtime Version v4.0.30319 and version 4.1.2821.0.

Is version 4.1.2821.0 correct, should it not be 1.4.3.0, if so how do this?

Thanks

Jason.

Have you unplugged your device’s power and plugged back in?
Are u using a powered usb hub? If not, try a powered one.

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 10:46am

It’s just taking power from the PC’s USB port. As all other function, i.e. Connecting with TeraTerm and listing Device capabilities using MSDeploy are working and assume it’s power requirements are met and and not effecting the VS deploy function.

I think it’s to do with a version mis-match. I dont even think the board is faulty because of the functionality it’s currently able to do, just no more deploy??

Can you please show VS deploy output here?

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 11:02am

Yes,

Hope that helps, I desperate to resolve this. Thanks Jason.

Open release motes file in the root of GHI sdk on your pc. What version you see there?

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 11:06am

I have :-

GHI Electronics, LLC
NETMF SDK for NETMF v4.1

SDK Version 1.0.11
October 15, 2010

Version Info

Firmware, Tinybooter (if applicable) and libraries are compatible for each SDK release and they may not work with previous releases. Make sure to update all your software components including firmware and library assemblies. Otherwise, your managed application will not run at all or run incorrectly.

Important note: Requires .NET Micro Framework 4.1 and Visual Studio 2010

• USBizi (FEZ Mini, FEZ Domino, FEZ Rhino, FEZ Panda) V 4.1.3.0
• EMX (FEZ Cobra) V 4.1.3.0, TinyBooter V 4.1.3.0
• ChipworkX V 4.1.3.0 TinyBooter V 4.1.3.0
• GHI NETMF Library V 4.1.3.0

Gus_Issa · January 16, 2011, 11:10am

Good, now make new console project and do not add any GHI assemblies, can you deploy it?

Also, enter GHI loader, erase all using E command and then reload the firmware.

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 11:17am

I made a new console project and it deployed!!

Went back to my project and it failed.

What do you mean by the GHI loader??

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 11:27am

Sorry, I know what you mean now.

Did that and got :-

BL
1.07
BL
Erase all memory! Are you sure?
Erasing…BL
Start File Transfer
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
File Transfer Finished Successfully

Deploy from VS still fails?

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 11:47am

I created a new Fez Domino project and it also deployed?

It’s running the blinking LED example.

Gus_Issa · January 16, 2011, 11:50am

Ok so now we verified the firmware + was able to deploy console app + able to blink an LED…only your one project doesn’t work.
You could spend hours trying to figure out what is the problem or just make a new project then add your source files, which can be done in 5 minutes

JasonPod · January 16, 2011, 11:51am

I agree, I’ll start pasting code and see what happens!

Thanks for being around, especially on a Sunday! Cheers!

supermac · January 29, 2011, 7:26am

I had a similar problem. I resolved it by removing all of the GHI libraries from my project, then added them back.

Gus_Issa · January 29, 2011, 9:32am

Yes this is a must step after you update the SDK and firmware. This step will update the files inside your project folder with the new ones from new SDK

William · January 29, 2011, 5:43pm

Shouldn’t “Build/Clean Solution” and “Build” again do the same thing? Without having to remove refs and adding them back in. I will try to remember to test that next upgrade.

Danny · November 13, 2011, 4:40pm

I had a similar issue, but with the Fez Mini, which I resolved by removing all the references and only adding the ones that were truly needed…

I could reproduce the problem, and after some testing, I think, in my project, its caused by the size of the assembly.

I made a script that slowly increases the size of the assembly, and when it hits a little over 147456 bytes, the deployment breaks.

Gus_Issa · November 13, 2011, 5:03pm

Which is expected as mini flash size is 148kbytes

Danny · November 14, 2011, 4:04am

So couldn’t that have been the original posters problem?

He posts that the assembly is 162028 bytes.

I know that this is an old thread, and the ‘problem’ has properly been discussed a lot.
Just wanted to share…

Gus_Issa · November 14, 2011, 8:03am

Possible.
