G120 Exception

NETMF & Gadgeteer
1

On one of my custom boards I assembled
I soldered the G120 module and it keeps spitting out this below exception on the debug serial port.
The USB is not detected. So I do not know how to proceed
Any help is appreciated

@ microt - I imagine you are unable to even get a program on the device? Are you able to put it in loader mode with LDR0 and LDR1?

I grounded MODE AND LDR0 and LDR1

and through teraterm loaded tinybooter again.
made LDR0 high
Tinybooter runs.

Then I try to deploy using Visual studio …it fails like below
If I connect termterm. I can see that the exception is coming again

What do you see back when you click the ping button? I have a feeling your device is missing the firmware.

5

I updated with FEZ. The update goes ok.

but at the end it is not able to read the version.
And then the exception comes on the serial port

6

Right now I have the latest

G120

Version

  • 4.3.7.10 Firmware
  • 4.3.7.7 Loader
    –
    And it tells bad firmware after loader update
    –
    But I remember a good board having 4.3.1.0.
    Is it a version mismatch

@ microt - It looks like your program is pretty big. Can you try to deploy a simple blink LED program?
