Mountaineer with 4.2 (QEF2)

Archive
1

Hello,

I’m new in .net gadgeteer.

I hav a Mountaineer Ethernet and followed the instructions provided by the mountaineer page.

http://www.mountaineer.org/app/download/6084116175/GettingStarted.pdf?t=1340698181

This works without any problems, but how do i get the GHI Modules into my Visual Studio?

The GHI Software package needs NETFM 4.2(QEF2). But with QEF2 i cannot load any applications to my board. The firmware is already updated.

Can somebody help me out, how to use the Mountaineer ETH with GHI-Modules?

Thx in advance

Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like your Mountaineer has old firmware get the latest from here:

Can you please run “Device Capabilities” from MFDeploy and show the output here. Make sure you are targeting NETMF 4.2 in the project settings.

Make sure you are targeting NETMF 4.2 in the project settings.

It is already set to NETFM 4.2.

Ok try to remove and re-add the references.

At the moment you still need NETMF 4.2 QFE1 for using Gadgeteer. The 4.2 QFE2 release does not yet support the Gadgeteer libraries, only “plain vanilla” NETMF.

http://www.mountaineer.org/resources/netmf-4-2-qfe2/

We are working on NETMF 4.3, and there the Gadgeteer libraries should be supported as well (we have no information regarding if and when Microsoft might release a 4.3 version of Gadgeteer, so probably we’ll use the current Gadgeteer sources).

Our intention is to have the new release out in early Q2 2013.

Best regards

Cuno

Yesterday I tried using the default firmware (QFE1) yesterday and could not upload to my Mountaineer because it was unable to resolve a reference (something with Touch Gestures).

I updated the firmware to QFE2 and now am able to run basic programs on the board. Ethernet functionality is severely hampered, and it appears the MAC address has been reset. I cannot find any reference on how to set the MAC address using MfDeploy.

To set the MAC address in MFDeploy, use the following command:

Target>Configuration>Network

This opens a dialog box where you can set the MAC address.
