Hi I have problem, I have written my own Gui Framework, but there is a strange failure. After some time or intermediate the FEZ Cobra II freezes and reboots. Normaly the Debugger didn’t show any exception even he didn’t recognize the freeze.
But today I got following Error:
RUNTIME ERROR: comparing two values of different size: 1 vs. 7!!!
It was a ConstraintException.
What can cause this type of error? Hopefully someone can help me.
best regards
Can you use try catch statement and see if you can catch the exception? Is it a lot of code? Can you show it here?
Problems that occur after a while are often related to some resources that are not freed (memory for example).
You should run a manual GC once in a while and compare the output.
Also check your code for disposable objects not getting disposed (the using statement is wonderful for these objects) or if you allocate memory (Bitmaps eventually?) that get not freed.
Large bitmaps get allocated in the custom heap for example, which needs special treatment for freeing objects (check the docs section for custom heap).
Yes its to much code, and the debbuger showed only once the exception but didn’t stopped or anything else.
I only use one Bitmap object and pass it threw to my controls. Can that cause the problem? May I should post the code on codeshare
I would say don’t post “problem” code on codeshare. Post it on SkyDrive or bitbucket
So know I added a Debug.GC(true) in my main loop, fired every minute.
I got following:

I realy tried to use the touch interface the hole time. It ended in an freeze. But the memory isn’t exploding. Can any body see’s something strange on the GC output?
It’d help if you told us about your use case. The last mention of touch was the first time that came up. We’re all going to be shooting in the dark unless you tell us more about your entire system and what your symptoms are.
So I have put it on codeplex, may someone has time and can tell me what I made wrong.
The problem is as follows. After a while of using it, my fez cobra II will freeze and restart after a while. No output on the debugger, nor it realize that the board freezes or restarts.
Edit: In the initialization of the CP7 touch, it will change the register ID_G_MODE = 0xA4 from 1 to 0, this means that the interrupt behavier of the touch controller gets changed. Now it only interrupts on Touch-Down and Touch-Up
One possible reason for a freeze with restart after a short while is a recursive call without exit.
Means a method or property that calls itself (directly or indirectly).
By this the execution is stuck there and you get an stack overflow after a while (Might also result in an out of memory) which will trigger an reboot.
So you could check for pieces of code that gets called rarely and has an unwanted recursive call, or if any recursive call has an exit option that might not come true for any reason.

I have ckecked all, and nothing, the program I published on codeplex do unexpected reboots at undefined positions of the program. Maybe its related to your bug.
At the moment its really frustrating. I have checked it with windows 7 and 8. and with SDK R1 to R3. Mostly with the old versions its better.
