I use the AVNET Azure Sphere MT3620(version1). so i chaned the target hardware to "avnet_mt3620_sk".

# azsphere_target_hardware_definition(${PROJECT_NAME} TARGET_DIRECTORY "HardwareDefinitions/mt3620_rdb" TARGET_DEFINITION "template_appliance.json")
azsphere_target_hardware_definition(${PROJECT_NAME} TARGET_DIRECTORY "HardwareDefinitions/avnet_mt3620_sk" TARGET_DEFINITION "template_appliance.json")

and currently used Azure Sphere OS version is 23.02.

PS C:> azsphere device show-deployment-status

Your device is running Azure Sphere OS version 23.02.

is there anyone who can help me?

my environment is Windows 11.

Thanks.

    Hello @ivan, Just checking on this issue!

    few things you can try to resolve this issue:

    The error message indicates that there is an issue with the encoding of the command output. This could be caused by a non-UTF-8 character in the output. You can try running the command with the --output none option to disable output and see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't work, you can try running the command with the --output json option to output the results in JSON format, which should be UTF-8 encoded. Additionally, you can try updating the Azure Sphere SDK to the latest version to see if that resolves the issue.

    Update the Azure Sphere SDK and make sure that the Capabilities section of the app_manifest.json file for your project is configured correctly.

    Please do let us know if your issue is still blocking!
