I have a customer who want to make their own board based off of the netduino 3 using the same firmware.

Since the layout files are not available for download, I wanted to get feedback on this before replying to my customer.

Can the Netduino 3 board gerbers and or PCB file be downloaded?

Also is the firmware available to load into a blank ST Micro MCU to get a new board up and running the same as a NetDuino 3?

How open source is the Netduino 3?

ALL of this is based off of my customers concern that the Netduino 3 board may be going obsolete or no longer able to buy in the near future with the same footprint.

I believe that the firmware would be the same, yes. As long as you have the same USB wiring.

N3 is very open source. you can find all the board and schematic files here: http://www.netduino.com/downloads/

What is required to program a new board that has a blank STM32F427 on it with the firmware to get it upto the Netduino 3 setup?

If it requires a in circuit jtag programmer... do you have a recommendation?

Does anyone have the netduino 3 sources files? They are not listed on the website. Also what is the development software used to compile the source files and load them into the MCU? What is the prefered programmer for this?

It would be helpful if someone could put the ASCII version of the PCB layout on the download page. This would allow for them to be imported into other layout software.

Would also like to see the source files for the Netduino 3 on the download page as well.
