ERROR! Firmware version does not match managed code version!

Hi there,
I just found my Fez Raptor and although it’s been ages I thought it would be fun trying to get it up running.
I installed most software and made it work with VS2013.
But when I click F5 (Debug) I get the following error:

It seems like I need to update the firmware. From what I remember there was some sort of GUI-software for this but I cannot seem to find it. To be honest I don’t remember much of this so I am pretty much stuck.

Anyone?

Here’s the general netmf documentation.

Then you need firmware update instructions Firmware Update

You need to match your firmware version with the software installed on your PC - that may also require you to remove all references from your project and re-add them

Accidentally I found Fez Config and figured out how to update the firmware… I am now up and running. Feels great :slight_smile:
