Hey guys! I just received a brand new FEZ Raptor. I Also bought a USB Client SP module. I attached the module on port 8 of the raptor, and plugged the USB in my PC. A Red LED lights up on the Raptor.
Now, there’s no way I can see the device with my computer. The USB Recognition of Windows tells me it’s a ‘GPS Camera Detect’.
I Installed the following components :
- Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.3 (QFE1)
- Microsoft .NET Gadgeteer Core
- GHI NETMF and Gadgeteer Package 2014 R5
If I start FEZ Config and configure whatever on the connection tab (i tried several combination) it won’t connect.
What can I do in order to connect to the device?
My Visual Studio btw, has all gadgeteer components. I can start a gadgeteer project and attach modules to it without a problem. However, running / deploying is impossible due to a connection failure.
@ nikneem - Welcome to the community. For whatever reason, it looks like you received your FEZ Raptor without a firmware on it. Can you try to follow the update instructions in section 5.1 and 6.1 in https://www.ghielectronics.com/downloads/man/G400_User_Manual.pdf That should put the firmware on your device.
Did you purchase the Raptor through us or through a distributor?
Thanks for your reply, I will try to add the firmware on the device and keep you posted. I bought the board and all modules on this website : http://www.antratek.nl/
I Started the update.bat file from the \Firmwares\G400\Loader\ folder
The log file tells me :

I’m not sure if this is correct…
After this, i’m still not able to see the device in FEZ Config
@ nikneem - It looks like your board is defective. I’ll contact you with information on an RMA shortly.
