I recently got a domino and I have it all set up with the newest firmware etc. In visual studio the device shows up in the list, but when I try to run the example program with a breakpoint, Visual studio just exits from the debugging mode and returns to development view. At this point the fez goes into a coma, and the computer loses contact. When I reset the fez is runs the exampleprogram, so it gets deployed, I just canāt get debugging to work. Ant suggestions? I am on a Mac with VM Windows 7.
āā¦I recently got a domino and I have it all set up with the newest firmware etc.ā I had already done this, that was my point I have seen the getting started videos and done everything accordingly. The programs also actually gets deployed, but the debugging is not working
I had similar problems and that was due to mismatch of the loaded firmware on the Domino and the referenced files in my project. So my advice would be to;
Run MFdeploy and check the firmware version on your Domino (device capabilities, it should be 4.1.3.0 for the last release
Inside visual studio, check the references and click on every GHIElectronics ref and look at the version number in the property section, it should be the same 4.1.3.0
I figured it out. It had to do with the fact that I am running Windows 7 inside of VMWare on a Mac. When Visual Studio initialized the debugging, it reboots the device as part of the process. This leads to a USB reconnect from the FEZ, and then the FEZ was not autoconnected to the virtual machine. I configured VMWare to automatically connect the FEZ to the VM, and voilla
This is exciting, FEZ on MAC Would you be willing to show some instructions on how to get that to work? Even better, make a wiki page for this with a video showing it working? I would love to give you plenty of experience points for doing so
Did you get the driver USB Drivers/GHI_NETMF_Interface working ?
I always get the error during install : āThe folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit-systems.ā
I try to use ChipWorkX on a Windows 7 running in Virtualbox.
I can install the USB/Serial driver for update TInyBooter - but then i am not able to install GHI_NETMF_Interface -> windows reports a āunknown deviceā.
If i plug in the DevBoard with TInyBooter bootet, i get a āUSB Device not recognizedā reported from Windows.
In the device manager i can see a āunknown deviceā under the USB-section.
If i try to install the driver manually (Driver->Driver Update->Have Disk) and i select the .inf file, the error is: āThe folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit-systems.ā
So your chipworkX is running in TinyBooter mode and uses USB debug interface. It should with driver we provide. You can even download an installer for the driver, did you try it? Support ā GHI Electronics
