Mountaineer Ethernet project create an USB board instance

NETMF & Gadgeteer

Hi, just recreated a new dev box. Creating a new project for a Mountaineer Ethernet i got an USB board instead.

All the other GHI board works fine.

Any idea?

Thanks

@ cyberh0me - Hi, in short… you are right… not GHI but this is the most active comunity from where get some support.

Basically when i create a new Gadgeteer Application, system is showing me the list of board. I can see Eth and Usb… if i select Eth anyway i got a project where the designer shows the USB board and all the reference points to the USB model…

I’m using Visual studio 2013 Update 5

i;ve it otherwise how would be able to see the motherboard into the list of available ones?

questions: when installing any gadgeteer SDK where is the visual studio configuration around the available motherboard??

[quote]if i select Eth anyway i got a project where the designer shows the USB board and all the reference points to the USB model[/quote] So the image is of the USB mainboard, and the references added are all the same as if you chose the USB board, with no additional ones? I don’t have the Mountaineer SDK installed to check - but I’d create two identical projects, one using the USB mainboard and one with Ethernet and compare references added by default.

The mainboard definition is intrinsically part of the SDK, and I don’t think you can edit it after the fact. You would need to create your own version of the mainboard definition - the starting point would be the GadgeteerHardware.xml file in the SDK’s install directory (in x86 program files on your PC). Use that in conjunction with the instructions to build your own SDK if you really want to update that.

But I would look for Mountaineer references related to the Ethernet setup that get installed but are not included in your project and add those. That’s all the different selections of mainboard would likely do, nothing more, which you can do manually with so few clicks…
