Hello guys,

im using a FEZ Cerberus board which seems to have Firmaware version 4.2 installed.
The Cerb-Family Updater (v.4.3.) crashes while loading the Firmaware.hex.
Id highly appreciate any advise on how to get this fixed :slight_smile:

Thx in advance - Absolute

Thanks for your answer, but I’m still getting an error while deploying the firmware to the mainboard.
Please see the attached image.

It seems like that there is a problem with erasing a certain sector on the mainboard before being able to deploye the file “firmware.hex”.

The same is happening at deploying with MFDeploy.

Notes:

  • Installed latest FEZ Package (FEZ Config Version 2.0.6) with the latest NETMF 4.3
  • Started FEZ Config as Administrator
  • im using VMWare v.4

Any help is appreciated.
There must be a solution.

Thanks

Question: Your Developmentmachine with GHI SDK is a Virtual Machine?

Have you tested the update with a other computer (Win7/Win8.1 installed)?

hello,
yes it is a virtual machine and no, no testing on anything else so far.

6

Can you test it on a real hardware?

May be there is a problem with the virtual USB port.

VM support with the current SDK is much improved but not perfect. If you are having problems loading firmware, try in a real machine.

after loading the firmaware on real machine i can load my code on a VM now. Everything seems to work, thx for the help :slight_smile:
