@ Jay Jay - I have fired up a Win7 and VS2010 VM image to one of our servers if you want to give that a whirl…it’s ~10 giga joules in size…
Sure thing…
Shoot me a link to my E-mail: adv57 the usual at and Hot mail and you know the rest…
i will give that a shot and test my Spider as well… hopefully it’ll come back to life…
thanks.
Edit: Thank you so much for going through the trouble to get that VM up and running…
Chocks away.
Microsoft’s Lorenzo Tessiore just confirmed this:
Yes, it is just a historical artifact.
It is the “device hash” in the usb configuration, which is used to differentiate between devices with the same name prefix.
E.g.
Mountaineer_a7e70ea2 and
Mountaineer_abbbbbbb
That way you can have two Mountaineer boards connected to Visual Studio and recognize them. BTW, one can change that device hash from MFDeploy, thus effectively naming the device.
As for the .dfu file, see http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/topic?id=8565&page=1#msg85174
