Strange error after updating to firmware 4.1.8.0 - SOLVED

NETMF & Gadgeteer

Hi, I have a project that I have been working on for some time now. It was running ok on my FEZ Domino with the old firmware 4.1.7.0. After updating I am unable to load the project onto the board. I get this error “Error 1 An error has occurred. Please check your hardware”. I know all about updating the firmware and I removed all device-specific assemblies, and added them again to get the right version. It seems that the project dosent load onto the board at all. I checked, checked and double checked the board and the assemblies are both version 4.1.8.0. Can there be an error in the firmware 4.1.8.0?

Best Regards

Have you tried loading a new project?

What do you get back when you ping the board from MFDeploy?

Hi, Gus

Yes I tried loading a new project and it works fine. The project I am working on builds fine with no errors, but i does not deploy. Also if I comment parts of my project out, it also deploys ok. And this I can’t understand. If I try to erase the board with MFDeploy, and then try to load the project onto the board it is not possible.

If I ping the board with a working project loaded this is what I get:

I found out that my project was to big (62KB). So I hit the size limit. Changed the code, now it is running OK.
