Deploying to G400-D just started hanging

Dave_McLaughlin · October 30, 2015, 9:35pm

I have been developing all week on a project with a custom board and a G400-D and now I cannot deploy and it just hangs and the attached window appears.

The following appears in the Output window during the partial starting.

DEPLOYMENT seems ok

I’ve tried clean and it still won’t run. The only change last night to the code was to add 5 jpg files to the resources and to add code to display them.

mcalsyn · October 30, 2015, 11:58pm

Well, first thing that comes to mind is to back out that last change just to see if that’s the cause. Maybe you just nudged yourself over some size limit though on the G400’s 1.4m of flash, that seems unlikely. Nonetheless, it’s an obvious test to run.

So is stopping and re-starting VS. Also, switch to “Emulator” and back to “USB” in VS. I have seen failures to deploy or to launch debugging that are due to cached data in VS and that bad cached data is flushed when you change the deployment target type on the project properties page.

Edit: I see that your image is over 1M in size, so maybe you have broken over the available deployment space with those jpgs.

Dave_McLaughlin · October 31, 2015, 1:11am

Thanks mcalsyn.

It’s not size related or changes related.

I loaded up a test from the other day which has had no changes and is considerably smaller and it hangs at the same point.

I’ve uninstalled the GHI SDK, rebooted the PC etc and still the damn thing hangs.

[EDITED AS I WAS USING THE WRONG SDK]

Just hooked up a Cobra 2 and it hangs at the same point. This is not good.

Time to try uninstall and reboot again

Deploy a LED blinker app and see if that works as expected. Can’t get a more toasty test than that.

Dave_McLaughlin · October 31, 2015, 2:34am

Hi Brett,

Good idea and I did that and it works.

It hangs when I try to deploy the GHI.Hardware.dll after I added this as a reference.

The window says it is trying to load this from d:\Rpos\NETMF\Libraries\GHI.Hardware\obj\release so not sure what that means to be exact.

[EDIT] I should add that after it fails to run, if I hit reset the programme runs fine on the device.

Dave_McLaughlin · October 31, 2015, 2:45am

I’ve just tried GHI.Glide instead by adding as a reference and it hangs on that too.

Same with GHI.Pins

Mmm.

mcalsyn · October 31, 2015, 2:52am

Very weird - that is almost exactly the G400D symptom I am seeing here : https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=21810&page=7#msg205016 (although I get a message about the debugger session failing)

That is, program cannot be debugged, but does free-run correctly.

Dave_McLaughlin · November 1, 2015, 7:50pm

I ran up the laptop and it deploys and debugs the code so this must be something in the main PC that is causing.

Not great as I have a deadline for a demo on Wed this week. Guess I am working on the laptop today.

Dave_McLaughlin · November 2, 2015, 1:33am

After 4 wasted hours of uninstalling the SDK and VS2013 and then reloading them it is back working again. Hope this don’t happen too often.
