Firmware upgrade problem?

NETMF & Gadgeteer
1

Hi,

I followed the procedure to upgrade to the latest firmware again. My programs that worked in the last version now exit with the code 0x0 message again during debug.

I used the MFDeploy tool to check the firmware and it seems right. When I do a reset and then ping I get the following message as it boots:

Pinging… TinyCLR
Connecting to USBizi_USBizi…Connected
Rebooting…
Pinging… NoTinyCLR
debugger!

Sorry to raise the alarm. I figured out in VC# you need to delete your old GHI references used and make it load the new versions for it to use the new versions.

You already posted the answer in the first post…look at it again :wink:

"GHIElectronics.NETMF.Hardware.USBizi (4.0.2.0) "
Look in your SDK release notes. You probably have SDK version 4.0.3.0 but see above text how the assembly loaded is 4.0.2.0

Also, “nvalid native checksum: GHIElectronics.NETMF.IO 0xF3C2E347!=0x928EC238”
the CLR refuse to load an assembly because of mismatch version

I am clarifying this so other users can benefit from reading the boot up messages

That is how I figured it out. I’m making these sort of posts so others don’t follow me over the cliff of despair :slight_smile:
