Having trouble debugging due to firmware version

Archive

Hi. After being sick for many months, I’m getting back to my project, but I’m having trouble. I updated the firmware on my EMX project and the FEZ config reports the following:

HalSystemInfo.halVersion :4.2.0.0
HalSystemInfo.halVendorInfo :Microsoft Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rig
ClrInfo.clrVersion :4.2.0.0
ClrInfo.clrVendorInfo :Microsoft Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rig
ClrInfo.targetFrameworkVersion :4.2.0.0
SolutionReleaseInfo.solutionVersion: 4.2.11.0
SolutionReleaseInfo.solutionVendorInfo: Copyright (C) GHI Electronics, LLC
SoftwareVersion.BuildDate: Aug 15 2013
SoftwareVersion.CompilerVersion: 410713
LCD.Width: 0
LCD.Height: 0
LCD.BitsPerPixel: 0

My project compiles fine, but I get an error on deployment. I’ve tried deploying with NETMF versions 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, but I get the same error no matter what version:

Waiting for debug commands…
The program ‘[3] Micro Framework application: Managed’ has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Any ideas what I need to do to resolve this issue? I did some searching on the forums and the solution always marked answer was to upgrade the firmware on the EMX. I’ve already done that … it upgraded to 4.2.11

Thank you.

Hi there,

glad to hear you’re back onto your project.

This usually comes about because of old references embedded in an existing project. To validate that you can create a new project and copy over your code, or simply just create a new project and blink an LED, this should confirm you have the same SDK on your PC as matches the firmware.

The clean way is to start a new project as I said, but you can do this by removing all the references in your project, then re-add them.

Edit: Andre wins !

Thanks for your help! I started a new project as 4.2 and it seems to work fine now. I’m not sure what I was doing wrong before. I had deleted and re-added all references. I think it has something to do with mscorlib not being re-added properly.

Rebuilding my project from the start took care of the problem.

Thanks again for your help!
