G80 Configuration support

NETMF & Gadgeteer
1

Hi,
Does the G80 support GHI.Processor.Configuration class. I seem to get the right responses from the WriteEntry function but when I try and read this entry I get zero bytes returned. The getEntrySize also returns zero bytes. I do receive though a 16k from Totalsize function.

I have tried the exact same code using the G120E and this works fine. The development is in VB

regards
Steve

@ Steveoco - Can you post a small example that shows the issue?

Hi John,
I have appended the code from my application. If you need more or a test application then let me know. As I said this code works with the G120E so all I have changed is the gadgeteer device I am using. I assume that the G80 does work and is tested with the Configuration class.

Public Property DeviceIP As String
        Get
            Dim bBuff As Byte()
            ReDim bBuff(20)
            Dim strRead As String
            If GHI.Processor.Configuration.GetEntrySize("DevIP") > 0 Then
                bBuff = GHI.Processor.Configuration.ReadEntry("DevIP")
                ' GHI.Processor.Configuration.ReadEntry("DevIP", bBuff)
                Return System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(bBuff)
            Else
                Return String.Empty
            End If

        End Get
        Set(value As String)
            Dim bBuff() As Byte
            bBuff = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value)
            Dim bWrite As Boolean = GHI.Processor.Configuration.WriteEntry("1DevIP", bBuff)
            Debug.Print("Bwrite: " & bWrite.ToString)
        End Set
    End Property

if you need anymore info please let me know.

Regards
Steve

I have the exact same issue on a Spider II mainboard and I believe I am running the latest bits.

Today, I installed the apps on this page and I am using VS2013 to deploy: .NET Micro Framework - GHI Electronics

I have double checked that the firmware on the mainboard is up to date as well, and I think it is:

Loader (TinyBooter) version information:
4.3.8.1 on this computer.
4.3.8.1 on this device.

The Loader (TinyBooter) is up to date. <<<

Firmware (TinyCLR) version information:
4.3.8.1 on this computer.
4.3.8.1 on this device.

The Firmware (TinyCLR) is up to date. <<<

What am I missing? Thanks in advance

Maybe you’re missing telling us what your problem is - given you’re not using a G80 I’d suggest starting your own thread and post a code example of what you’re trying and what errors you get
