EMX Updata problem

Before updating EMX I can debugging my project well.
After updating “GHI Software Package v4.2 Feb. 18, 2013”, I can’t debugging my project now.

There is something notes in output window as follow:


   Assembly: GHI.Premium.System (4.2.9.0)  Attaching deployed file.

   Assembly: Microsoft.SPOT.Net (4.2.0.0)  Attaching deployed file.

   Assembly: GHI.Premium.Hardware (4.2.9.0)  Attaching deployed file.

   Assembly: GHI.Premium.Hardware.EMX (4.2.9.0)  Attaching deployed file.

   Assembly: NetMf.CommonExtensions (1.0.0.0)  Resolving.

Link failure: some assembly references cannot be resolved!!


Assembly: FezCobraWorkhard (1.0.0.0) needs assembly 'NetMf.CommonExtensions' (1.0.0.0)

Assembly: NetMf.CommonExtensions (1.0.0.0) needs assembly 'mscorlib' (4.1.2821.0)

Error: a3000000

Waiting for debug commands...

The program '[1] Micro Framework application: Managed' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I have used a dll file “NetMf.CommonExtensions” for “string.replace”.

how can I resolved the problem?

Is this a new project?

You need to rebuild NetMf.CommonExtensions assembly:


Assembly: NetMf.CommonExtensions (1.0.0.0) needs assembly 'mscorlib' (4.1.2821.0)

The one you are using is build against NETMF 4.1 the rest of your project is 4.2

@ Gus -

no, it’s old project. I used always “GHI NETMF v4.1 SDK”. The project ran well with “.NET Micro Framework 4.1” before updating EMX.

Change target framework to 4.1 in your project then.

@ Architect -

If I change target framework to 4.1 in my project, I got error after rebuilding as follow.

What version of the framework is on your board?

Are you sure you are using the right source code?

Assemblies that start with GHI.Premium.* are 4.2 assemblies. You have to make sure that you are using same version of the framework in all 3 below:

  1. Firmware on your board
  2. SDK you are using to build your application
  3. Any third party assemblies you are using (like NetMf.CommonExtensions)

1. The files of updating is as follow (see picture)


C:\Program Files\GHI Electronics\GHI Premium NETMF v4.2 SDK\EMX\Firmware\TinyBooter\TinyBooter.GHI

C:\Program Files\GHI Electronics\GHI Premium NETMF v4.2 SDK\EMX\Firmware\Config.hex;C:\Program Files\GHI Electronics\GHI Premium NETMF v4.2 SDK\EMX\Firmware\Firmware.hex;C:\Program Files\GHI Electronics\GHI Premium NETMF v4.2 SDK\EMX\Firmware\Firmware2.hex;

2. I have checked my SDK, it’s the latest vision form GHI Homepage. “Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.2 QFE2 SDK”

3. I’m not sure the vision of “NetMf.CommonExtensions”, I have downloaded from http://netmfcommonext.codeplex.com/ I havn’t found the vision of this library file

I have tried my project again and the project ran well after removing the “NetMf.CommonExtensions” from References, deleting “using NetMf.CommonExtensions;”, and any “string.replace” method. so I think my source code is well.

I just need the “string.replace” method, and the method is very useful for my project.

I have also found a new Warning in Error List that I haven’t ever seen , if I add the “NetMf.CommonExtensions” again to References and rebuild the project. as follow:


Warning	1	The predefined type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute' is 
defined in multiple assemblies in the global alias; using definition from 'c:\Program
 Files\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework\v4.2\Assemblies\le\mscorlib.dll'	ECOLINE

I’m not very sure what the warning means, but it seems that it have relation to “mscorlib.dll”

@ workhard10 - There is a string replace in the StringBuilder class.
