VisualBasic SDK problem

Archive

Hello

I have 1 Problem when loading a programm on my Hydra.
I can split up the problem in 2 parts.

If I install only the .net 4.3 SDK (It says it could only exist alone) then I can’t even creat a program… it still wants something from the 4.2 library or something. (see image)

If I install all SDK options with the MicroFrameworkSDK.MSI then I can create a project, but when I upload it to the Hydra, I get this error message:

Fehler 1
Cannot deploy the base assembly ‘mscorlib’, or any of his satellite assemblies, to device

  • USB:Gadgeteer twice. Assembly ‘mscorlib’ on the device has version 4.3.1.0,
    while the program is trying to deploy version 4.2.0.0

SO… what is now correct? only installing 4.3 or does it need something from 4.2? if yes… are there any settings i need to do?

2

Have you set the target framework for the project?

3

It’s a existing prgram i guess build first in 4.2 and now deployed to 4.3 ?

If so, you need to remove ALL references (4.2) first and then add them again (4.3)

4

hmm… yes, it seems the default framework when creating is always 4.2… but how i change that? cuz instructions say, I should have ONLY installed 4.3 cuz it can’t coexist with other SDKs.

When I crate now a standart project and load it on the Hydra i get 3 errors… (but they are too fast away as that I could copy em >.<

I still see a loooot of 4.2 in the output… is that normal?

Console output is:

Create TS.

Waiting for debug commands…

----------------- EDIT: found the errorlist^^
see image

Yep, remove the 4.2 references and add then 4.3 like in the image.

6

hmmm… I can’t find the reference Manager in my VisualBasic12… is this a general option or a project specific one? and where did you find yours?

7

Right click on My Project in the Solution Explorer, then click on References on the left side.

8

hmm… I think I found it… but If i remove the 4.2 reference… then I can’t load the programm anymore at all :S

I get the error: “GHIElectronics.Gadgeteer.FEZHydra” is not definied.

I followed the instructions on the website… I dunno… but then like everyone must have encountered that problem somehow? O.o

Please start a new project. At that point, select a Gadgeteer project and on the screen where you select a mainboard, please take a screen shot.

Please also tell us what SDKs you installed; the best way to do that is go to the actual SDK install directories and look at the readme files in the GHI directories and confirm the versions listed there.

Hello Brett

Thank you for the tipp with the Board-selection… had a closer look and seen the small selection, where I could choose a SDK.
So I thried to select 4.3… but I’m getting a error… but I’m not really sure what it means >.>

In the instalation I only selected 4.3 … is that correct? or should I install all options?

11

No worries, we’ll work it out together (again :wink: )

The problem is not in the NETMF SDK its the Gadgeteer SDK that is missing or not correctly set up.

You should usually allow the NETMF SDK to install backwards compatible framework versions (they do not conflict) so that if you do have or get an older device that doesn’t support 4.3 you can still use it. But that doesn’t explain why you can’t get a Gadgeteer app to work (but please put 4.2 in when you can)

Then, you need to install the correct Gadgeteer SDK - by the looks of it you have not ? The Gadgeteer Core build should be 2.43.900, and in an earlier screenshot you had 2.42.000 (but that may have been a hangover of the old project you were using).

Please look in the GHI directory that your SDKs are installed in and find the readme in the Gadgeteer SDK and confirm what release you have installed. The current one is 2014 R5.

I feel so dumb… my programmingskills are pretty low… But I’m not very familiar with all those libraries and stuff :confused:
thank you for your patience to help me.

Ok, Installed the rest too, just in case it needs something from the older SDKs.

hmm… but if I select 4.2 while creating the project… won’t I get again errors becose I updated my board to 4.3? Or would it maybe smarter, to downgrade the board again?

we’re all here to help, no need to worry - although you have had your fair share of problems :wink:

OK, so first to answer your question - if you select 4.2 in the project when you are creating a new project, won’t you get an error ? Yes, you certainly would, in fact that is the error you were originally seeing, an A30000000 error typically means firmware-and-app-version-mismatch.

So now onto your problem. Looks like the GHI Gadgeteer SDK installation has failed to install the 4.3 integration. I would make sure you have VS shut, manually uninstall the GHI SDKs (completely), and then reinstall the GHI R5 and see if that works

removed it and made sure the GHI folder was away. reinstalled it.

Interessting… I get now a core error >.> (see image)
so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it again too… tadaa… I can create now a project now on 4.3 :smiley:

aaaaaaaand… I can run the default programm :DDD
omg omg omg.
It seems that all the uninstall/reinstall of SDKs, VB and so on created a total chaos -.-
