NETMF - A Bootable Runtime For Embedded Devices
The.NET framework is preinstalled on every Windows PC and is well known to hundreds of thousands of software developers worldwide. Microsoft has also ported the same underlying architecture to resource constrained hardware such as microcontrollers (microcontroller processors with ARM core) under their.NET Micro Framework platform, enabling programming in the C# language using Visual Studio, and running and debugging on the hardware itself or in an emulator.
The core of NETMF is a small scaled-down version of the Common Language Runtime (TinyCLR) which sits directly on the hardware, so it is often called a bootable runtime, rather than an operating system. It is capable of running on very inexpensive 32-bit processors, and does not require the CPU to have a memory management unit, so it can use up a lot less power than typical operating systems.Looking More https://www.netmf.com/
NETMF is designed for embedded developers who are already familiar with the VS environment, and enables them to use their existing C# and Visual Basic.NET skills to build applications on embedded devices. There are various hardware platforms available that work with NETMF, and GHI Electronics has created the FEZ line of very small open source hardware boards and development kits for beginners. To develop an NETMF application, open Visual Studio and select File > New Project. Select 'NETMF Application' and follow the onscreen instructions. Depending on the Visual Studio version, you may have to click 'Add References' in the Solution Explorer to add the NETMF extensions.
