Interrupt while deploying. Update failed!

I’ve tried plugging in a 9v battery too as suggested and it didn’t make a difference.

Hi Mike, if you are deploying the Etthernet firmware, make sure you have the ENC28 module connected - since you have a Cerbuino Bee, make sure it’s in Socket 1 when you apply the firmware update. Does that help?

I didn’t check the box for the ethernet firmware. I don’t have the ENC28 module, I was planning on communicating viaa xbee.

@ Mike11 -

Your files same with this (below)?

If so, erase completely and try again!

I think you can start from here: https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/55/loader-tinybooter-update-fez-cerberus

My created/modified date stamp is 10/23/2013 10:44AM but the rest of the information on that file is the same.

I’ve run the steps on Loading TinyBooter twice and that runs fine.

How about if we use MFDeploy? Just a try?

I ran MFDeploy from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework\v4.2\Tools
Selected Config.hex and Firmware.hex from C:\Program Files (x86)\GHI Electronics\GHI OSHW NETMF v4.2 SDK\FEZ Cerb Family\Firmware\Non Ethernet
And received Error unable to deploy to device while erasing sector 0x08010000

What is the operating system that you are using?

How are you connecting the Cerbuino to the PC? Of what I mean, is it through a hub? Is it through a USB 3 port? Try to switch ports, and/or to another computer if you can. There seems to be an issue with NetMF and USB 3.

Win 8.1 i5 8GB ram.
It must have been the USB 3 port. I moved it to a USB 2 port and it ran just fine.

Next issue. I plug it in and VS doesn’t recognize it.
