Visual Studio for Mac debug Error

Netduino Development
1

Hi,

as in the subject; I’ve installed Visual Studio for Mac and followed the instructions on the documentation to update the firmware of my netduino 2 plus (firmware 4.3.2.1 as upgraded by the tool).

The IDE recognises correctly the device but when I try to debug the application (the default onboard led blink) I receive the following error while the debugger is starting; but I can’t find any solution:

"

any ideas?
Thanks.

There is a known debugger issue with the add in posted on the addins.monodevelop.com site. we have a fix, and are working on getting it published.

but it should still deploy. did the application run and the LED blink?

Thanks for the info,I’ll wait for the fix; there are any prevision of release date?

BTW in my case the project doesn’t start on the board, the publish fail and nothing happens.

This has been fixed! :smiley:

Open Visual Studio for Mac and open the extensions manager, click the updates tab, and update the extension.

Thanks to @Jeremie_Laval for his hard work here!

I can confirm that now I’m able to debug without errors.

Great work, thanks! :slight_smile:
