Recently I started playing around with my Hydra, and haven’t yet been able to do anything useful with it. I downloaded the latest Jan 6 Gadgeteer package. I’ve only been able to start up up a few times and successfully debug with it. Most of the time I get “An error has occurred: please check your hardware” exception when deploying. And many times I cannot ping it via mfdeploy. I got the Hydra back in December and I suspect I need to update the firmware. How can I tell what version of the firmware is loaded?
I have seen it and I did update the firmware per the wiki. I’m not sure the firmware updated correctly so I’m wanting to verify the correct version is loaded.
I don’t have the T35 display, so I can’t see anything.
I just went thru the firmware update process, and updated everything. All ran without a hitch. Previously I got some errors while MFDeploy was writing to flash.
When I create a new Gadgeteer project in the IDE and try to deploy, I am not able to set a breakpoint on the Debug.Print line of code that the project generates. The yellow caution icon is below the breakpoint and when hovering over the breakpoint it says “the breakpoint will not be hit. The specified module is not loaded.” Doesn’t matter where I stick the breakpoint, the same thing happens in the auto-generated code. However everything works fine when running the emulator. So I think there’s some sort of assembly mismatch with what references the IDE uses when creating a new project vs. whats on the device.
Right…the mainboard that’s connected in that pic was my Hydra. What I was pointing out was that the display used is the one that comes with the Spider Starter Kit.

Perhaps Gus or one of the other GHI folks can weigh in. I’m not sure how to tell what firmware version is on the board without the display. I’m sure there’s probably a way to do it from MFDeploy, but not sure how.
