Hi spicyclam,

You can certainly use another PHY on a custom design...but you will probably need to adjust the PHY initialization code.

Hi

I'm also intererested in using other PHY with the netduino .NET MFW port.
Do you have any idea how this initialization code is changed, and if this job is hard or easy?

Thanks !

If I disable debugging, does anyone know about size then? Is there a difference in NETMF size if I disable debugging? I do not have a netduino board yet, so I cannot try to do real hardware debugging now... Thanks! Kåre

Also, .NET MF is a bit big for most Cortex MCUs unless you use external Flash/RAM.

yes, but Atmel is not the only one on the Cortex marked... It is not hard to find a 512 kb device, but it might be hard to find a (free) port to other than Atmel devices (and som Freescale iMX).

Not quite sure what you're asking. Are you talking about building a Netduino app--or the Netduino .NET MF runtime firmware itself?

Yes... ) For now I just want to know the footprint of netduino without application.
I have talked to a guy, who had 20 kb free space for his app after downloading the netduino project to the SAM7x512.
This is bad, so I am investigating if this is a problem I should be aware of.

We have done partial or full ports of .NET MF for a number of ARM7, ARM9, and Cortex MCUs (for non-Netduino commercial projects at work). Moving between extremely-similar chips from the same brand and family is easy, moving to a new core can be a 3-6 month project. [Also, .NET MF is a bit big for most Cortex MCUs unless you use external Flash/RAM.]

Thanks, very useful info!
