let say that i want to build by myself a circuit with AT91SAM7X512 (new from atmel).
i just need to connect it via usb and use it in visual studio just as i would do with netduino?
Hi ngel, welcome to the Netduino community!
Absolutely. That's part of the beauty of open source

In addition to Chris post, you would probably need to flash the .NET Micro Framework firmware first - Atmel chips are not accessible from Visual Studio by default, it is the .NET Micro Framework runtime that allows it. You have to use Atmel's SAM-BA to flash the .NET Micro Framework bootloader and then deploy the firmware via MFDeploy. Also, there are certain hardware design things that you have to duplicate on your board (e.g. the reset switch, multiplexing TWI with analog inputs) to make it compatible with Netduino firmware, or you have to build your own version with such features removed.let say that i want to build by myself a circuit with AT91SAM7X512 (new from atmel).

Yes - after you have working USB connection, the micro will appear as virtual COM port and you can use SAM-BA to flash the .NET Micro Framework bootloader (TinyBooterDecompressor.bin). Then you can deploy firmware via MFDeploy and then you can use Visual Studio for application deployment and debugging. Detailed steps and binaries are available in Netduino Firmware thread (the link may change with future releases).i need to flash the .NET Micro Framework bootloader to 512K flash memory with sam-ba (via usb?). then visual studio will be able to emulate via usb or to deploy with MFDeploy.
