Hello, To simplify developing and debuging of some piece of firmware, I imagine to use the emulator. Due to very constrained environement, the price of RVDS, the size of code generated by GNU G++ and the size of debug information, it would be great if I can write/test/debug my native code with emulator before. As a example, for a IP stack ;) , instead of using socket level with emulator, is it possible to strip this part, write a driver for WinpCap, and work on code between socket assembly and this driver with emulator ? Anyone have experience on this ? Any comments appreciate, Pascal

Hi pascal06, Whenever we do large amounts of code, we use the Atmel AT91SAM7X-EK (the Atmel dev board), placing an AT91SAM7X512-AU chip on it. We've specifically made the Netduino firmware compatible with the EK board so that it's possible to use the Netduino firmware with it... [You might have to tweak SPI channels or cut traces for the SD to work--but that's about it]. We haven't tried to build code within an emulator--but technically .NET MF has a Windows port (used in the .NET MF Emulator) so it might be possible... Chris

After some research, it seems that the Emulator works only with managed code. So, it's great to simulate C# project, but it seems that not possible to use any firmeware (native code) with it,
