Issue with deploying to SC13xxx

TinyCLR OS
1

Hi all,

I have a project in Visual Studio 2022, which I want to deploy on the Fez Flea. It is just a simple project with a couple of lines of code to get started with I2C. I have in my project also the dependencies downloaded through NuGet (so Gpio, Native, I2C, Core).

When compiling the project, I see that everything is found and deployed:

I also verified with TinyClr the deployed assemblies, and indeed Native and Gpio are not deployed. I have already erased the device several times, and also re-installed the latest firmwares. I also had this issue a couple of weeks ago, but that disappeared by itself after several retries, but I can’t get around it right now. What am I missing in my configuration, anyone who can help?

Hi,

had the same problem and here is the solution that worked for me

Best regards

Thanks! Using the Erase All resolved the issue. I am sure I had done it already several times last days in addition to just the Erase and several times reflashing the firmware.

Apparently something gets locked in the device itself I guess, as even a new VS2022 project and another Fez Flea or Fez Pico were causing the same issues till I erased the whole device and reinstalled the firmware.

I have several fez flea boards and with all of them I had to “erase all” first to make the boards work.

This is not necessary for FEZ boards with SC201xx.

But good that it works now :slight_smile:
