v4.0 beta Firmware ready for download

If you have a Tahoe-II or Meridian/P, we have some new firmware for you to try out!  You can download the new firmware and SDK on the downloads page.

Some of the interesting new features include:

  • HTTP support for server and client
  • Improved graphics support with thick pens and gradient fills
  • Performance improvements

A complete list of new features is available here.

To use this firmware, you will need the v4.0 beta SDK available from the Microsoft Connect site.  Note that this is beta software and does not install side-by-side with the v3.0 SDK.  We recommend using a different PC to you production v3.0 system!

We are testing firmware for Tahoe, and the ethernet enabled version of Tahoe and Meridian/P and will be releasing those in the near future.

Hi, having issues with the new firmware of the meridian/p and the refreshed version of the v4.0 beta (the only one now available for download). The firmware image includes v4.0.1219.0 of mscorlib, but the refresh beta includes v4.0.1496.0, so no code built with the beta can be downloaded to the board.

PS: your Leave a comment directly link on support is broken, and for some reason I cant see a login link on the forums, it just says posting is disabled.

Hi Tom
We will be updating the firmware later this week based on yesterdays refresh from Microsoft.
Thanks for the heads-up on the link. This should be fixed now. To login to the forums, use the link in the very top right-hand corner of the page.
