Hi samjones,
We have an Ethernet module coming for Netduino Go soon. It's using a brand new microcontroller, so it didn't make it onto the production line in time for launch. But it'll be worth the wait
If you'd like, we might be able to put together instructions on how to wire up an ENC28J60 module to a Netduino Go socket breakout... But that would be a short-term solution to help during the wait

With the Go! architecture, an MCU is required. But I'm not sure if it'll run .NETMF stand-alone. It all depends on the used MCU.
It's the Ethernet module I'm thinking of here, since Chris says it have an brand new microcontroller, just wondering about the capability of that.. letting it run its own webserver would be something..

That would be cool, but the microcontroller won't be that high powered.
someone are already running webservers on arduinos as far as I know, not for big things of course, but for responding temperature or other data when asked. I'm not talking about running php or the like of course

Well if you wanted to run native C code...then I suppose you could actually run something there
Apologies if this has been asked recently, but I'm anxious to get my hands on the Ethernet/Wifi module for the Netduino Go!. After a quick search, someone mentioned back in May that the devices would be available in a few weeks. Do we know how much longer it might be?
Thanks!

We're doing final validation on the Ethernet module right now, getting ready to send it out for sample production. The Cortex-M0 chips we are using were about 10 weeks late arriving, but we're pushing hard to get these out the door ASAP
Hi Chris,
How are things going on the network module? We have a requirement that would benefit from having this along with the Relay module. The Go will provide a smarter more modular solution than using the Plus.
Cheers,
Mike

We're making some final tweaks to it this week (impedence and power). I'll post an update in the next few days. We should have samples in-house soon!
Hopefully when this network card is released. I would be able to plug in at least two of them. I would like to make an attempt at turning the Go into a full fledged firewall/router much like what pfSense is. This would be for a simple home setup. The net card at minimum would have to handle DHCP. Ability to handle inspection of packets hopefully without copying out. And then patch the buffer (with NAT info) and send it out to the other nic shield. The Go would handle some IPTables rules (on the SDCard) and packet filter by rejecting or dropping. And the other function would be to Port forward. It would be nice to stack more nics (as net switch). But if the nic shield/s requires uploading and downloading entire packets before inspection. It might be very limited in speed.
Is there any update on the status/availability of the Ethernet module for Go?
The Ethernet module is done and is going through validation testing at Secret Labs. We expect that to be done soon, and then the module goes into volume production. If all goes well, it should be shipping by next month.
Excellent news. With the SD and Ethernet modules, now I will have a fast Netduino Plus with more memory . I'm looking forward to the release of the standard STM8 Go firmware so I can start to make my own custom modules. My first module will be a re-working of something I have already built for the plus - a 4 button + LCD module with some LEDs (to be used as the front panel of an appliance).
Am I understanding the idea of the "standard" STM8 firmware correctly? That is, with the standard firmware, all we'll do is build a module with the relevant components connected to the appropriate STM8 pins (with the extra bits like pull up/down resistors, and the capacitors noted in the wiki), provide some initialization code to tell the SMT8 how to configure pins (as I2C, digital in, digital in/interrupt, digital out, analog on etc) and then write normal code on the NetDuino but have access to those pins as though they were physical pins on the Netduino?

Yup, that's exactly right. It might actually be simpler than that. We're really looking forward to the STM8S standard I/O firmware. We'll be using it on all new GoBus modules (Ambient Light, Serial, etc.) as well.
