The article gives a down to earth introduction on what NETMF is and how to start developing applications using it. NETMF (pronounced as “net-mf”) is a highly trimmed down version of the.NET Framework that is designed for resource constrained devices like embedded systems. It is supported by the C# and Visual Basic.NET programming languages and development tools like Microsoft Visual Studio. It supports development and debugging in an emulator or on hardware using a very lightweight runtime called the Common Language Runtime. It also includes a subset of the base class libraries, and an implementation of Windows Communication Foundation and GUI framework based on Windows Presentation Foundation.
The NETMF SDK is free to download from netmf.com and it can be installed in VS 2010 by running the corresponding VSIX file in the folder named Netmf‘netmf-v4.3.2-SDK-R2-Beta’ in the zip file after downloading it. The VSIX installation is essential for adding the NETMF extensions to your VS project.
