Hi Guys

Here is the new breed of .Net Micro Framework Development board. It a Open source board with opensource netduino firmware. it has pinouts same as netduino. but the unpopulated pins are available @ 2x20 header.

have a look at the image attached

currently its running the latest netduino firmware. though the I/O's not available in TinyCLR or the Programing.

i am trying to port the netduino to this board with access to I/O pins

here is the vid on youtube , sorry for the background noise.

Open source ... does that mean you're not using the USBizi chip?

FEZDuino? You mean FEZ Hacker by GHI Electronics (?)

[Mohan]

Hi, Yes , This Board is Opensource from GHI electronics But it runs netduino firmware . so we can call it as fezduino ( actual the original name is fez hacker). its not using the USBizi chipset its using AT91SAM7x512

Cool. Now build something faster that has RAM!

There are already several .NET Micro Framework boards with powerful microcontrollers (e.g. ARM9 @ 200+ MHz) and plenty of memory (tens MB RAM, hundreds MB FLASH), for about $100 ~ $350. Jan Kučera has a list of most popular ones on his web.

And non of them are open source. And the list you're refering to is somewhat outdated. (Wrong prices, non-existing products.) SJJMicro has a killer board, for 60$ though: (For a limited time.) http://sjjmicro.com/EDK.html But a "big" open source Netduino clone, would still be really interesting.

Me thinks you just got it...

Nice hint from over a year ago. I haven't seen any new hardware come out of Secret since the Mini. Can you share any more recent information with us?

[Charles]

Nothing?

[Chris Walker]

Nothing?
