Device not found or cannot be opened - USB:Gadgeteer

Archive

I have installed both the sdk and GHI NETMF v4.2 and .NET Gadgeteer Package (10-24-2012), but I am still getting the same error
"Device not found or cannot be opened - USB:Gadgeteer========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
"
Few inputs:
while creating the project, I choose NETMF4.2
I had the problem device not being recognized by win7 like few others, and followed the blog’s, resolved it by updating the drivers manually by pointing to suggested location.
I get the click sound when I connect the device to the system.

Any suggestions please.

Brett: Thanks for the reply in the other thread (http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/topic?id=7960&page=2#msg93900), I am new this world, just received my start kit yesterday, can you please explain in bit detail or what steps to follow.

Thank you.

ok, but why did you start a new thread?
:slight_smile:

What device do you have? Spider?? In that case, you need to reset the switches as guided by the configuration card. And you may need to load the firmware - did you do that, and if so were there any errors reported?

Before you even open Visual Studio, you need to get the device to show up in device manager, but NOT as the bootloader interface you have today.

Thanks for quick reply Brett.

I created the new thread as Mike requested in the other thread.

anyway, I am using FEZ Spider start kit, followed all the instructions given in the book "Getting Started with .NET Gadgeteer Book"
When I was updating the firmware, I got some problems like others, it installs everything correctly, finally it gives a message saying update failed, I followed the other blogs and updated the driver manually.

I will try again by removing the bootloader driver and see how it goes.

Let me know if I am missing anything.

Thank you.

Removing the loader driver is a very bad idea. All you need now is to run the firmware updater and load firmware. And then windows will load the other drivers if will ask for them.

Thanks Gus, I will not remove the drive then.

But I am getting an error while updating the driver, same like mentioned in the thread http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/topic?id=9393&page=1

and as you mentioned in one of the other thread http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/topic?id=9388, i updated the drive manually.

I will try again today evening and see how it goes.

Thanks.

You will not update the driver but update the device using the updater tool we provide in SDK.

hurray, it is working, I have successfully finished the hello project :slight_smile:

Thank you guys.

After updating the drivers manually, I didn’t update the firmware, that was the problem.
Thank you Gus.
