I started with a Panda that was flashed with the latest 4.1 firmware, used with USB.
I was trying out USB client examples on the FEZ Panda. I did the following :
1.Hooked up the COM1 RX/TX to a MAX233ACPP (3.3V)
2.Have a jumper between MODE and GND
I was not able to ping the device from MFDeploy nor query the boot loader using Tera Term. (Deploy from VisualStudio did not work either).
I checked my bread board connections and did a loop back test to ensure that the level translator worked.
Next I was able to work with the bootloader after changing the serial port settings on Terra Term to 115200 baud (8 N 1 None). However I could not ping from MFDeploy or deploy from VisualStudio)
So I uploaded the firm ware again (using serial mode). The following is the output I see on Terra Term.

Ready.
Cannot find any entrypoint!
Done.
MSdbgV1z\ Waiting for debug commands…
Once this was done I could ping from MF Deploy and Deploy from Visual Studio. My mouse pointer is freaking out using the USB client prank.
Hope this helps someone.
