Is there a place where I can see what is implemented in the firmware? What is the easiest way to set time/date???

I am partial to this method of setting the time. That thread also has some discussion about what is implemented in the firmware. But in short, I believe TimeService was left out of the Netduino firmwares.

If this is an open source project... how is it that there is no clear map of what is implemented in the firmware???

Hi ErikOwsiak, We put all the features we could in the core firmware...but there are a small handful that we'd like to have but simply don't fit (advanced XML and TimeService are the two to come to mind). With TimeService, we found that it was better to use a managed code implementation created by the community instead... Checkout "MicroTweet" for one example. Perhaps we should create a Wiki page detailing the features of NETMF which aren't supported by small boards like Netduino Plus? Chris

Hi Chris, Wiki would make a lot of sense, anything that would give a quick lookup of what is not in the firmware and a workaround if one exists. Tnx

I have downloaded something called "MFToolKit", but this software seems to be throwing socket errors all the time.
