Hi everybody.

I just downloaded and flashed .NET Micro Framework provided by ST, at link http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF260087 (UM1676).

Board boots fine, bu after having installed USB Driver (after having disabled .inf signature check on my Win8.1 x64 PC), board is properly detected in Windows Device Manager, but not by MFDeploy, that doesn't enumerate Discovery board among USB-connected .NET Micro Framework devices

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks to Matt (zeroaviation), I just discovered that powering board via external +5V and not using ST-Link USB connection resolves this issue.

According to Matt: ''...

there is a bug in the st-link driver that sometimes will hide the NETMF device from MFDeploy (or VS)''.
