I'm happy to announce official support for .NET Micro Framework 4.3 QFE1.

This includes full support for Visual Studio 2012, both Express and Pro.
[For VS2013 support, see the VS2013 section near the end of this post.]

This new SDK is backwards compatible with all Netduinos--including boards running older firmware.

Visual Studio 2012 support
NOTE: VS2012 requires Windows 7 or newer.Netduino 4.3 firmwareUpgrades for Netduino Go
Netduino Go is getting some new accessories which require .NET MF 4.3 QFE1. We will be running a special 4.3 beta program for Netduino Go users this spring.

In the meantime this new SDK will work with Netduino Go boards running 4.2 firmware.

Upgrades for gen1 boards
We hope to be able to upgrade all gen1 Netduinos to .NET Micro Framework 4.3 QFE1. We currently have early firmware up and running on Netduino 1 and Netduino Mini. The upgrade to 4.3 QFE1 may be possible for Netduino Plus 1 as well, but at the moment it consumes a bit too much valuable flash/RAM.

We plan to ship firmware, where possible, for the gen1 boards in the March-May timeframe.

In the meantime this new SDK works with gen1 boards running 4.2 or earlier firmware.

Visual Studio 2013 support
If you would like to use Netduino with Visual Studio 2013 (Professional or better) instead, check out our experimental VS2013 SDK.

In Closing
Enjoy the new firmware and VS2012+ support! Please post any feedback here in this post.

Chris

Hello!

But what about Mini support? The big problem is that I'm still a fan of the Mini. And the Gen1 device. Oh and what about the stuff that gets placed on the boards?

Hi Dr. Who, We will most likely be able to upgrade the Netduino Mini to 4.3.1 as part of the gen1 board upgrades, in the March-May timeframe. Chris

Many thanks,

Regarding OneWire...if the OneWire support built into NETMF works on SAM7X, we can try to squeeze it into the Netduino 1 "4.3" firmware. If it doesn't work, we can try to squeeze CW2's special implementation in there. I'll ping him.

Hi meldano,

Also 32Bit Win 7 ?

Yes, Visual Studio 2012 and the Netduino SDK support both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.

If you're using Windows 7, be sure to upgrade to SP1 before installing the SDK.

P.S. Welcome to the Netduino community,

Chris

Hallo,

 

I just installed the files according to post 1 by Chris in this thread.

 

Then I plugged in Netduino 2 plus. Blue LED blinked, then white (continously).

 

Then I started VS 2012 Express --> New Project (C#/Micro), File not found:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\WDExpress\ProjectTemplatesCache\CSharp\Micro Framework\NetduinoPlus2Application.zip\NetduinoApplication.vstemplate

 

OK, there was no CSharp subfolder (only Visual Basic), searched for the CSharp files, found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\WDExpress\ProjectTemplates.

Copied to ProjectTemplatesCache.

 

Then I tried to create the project again but got the same error message. But the file is there. What's wrong?

 

Otherwise I could create a VB project without problem. Are there any drawbacks using VB instead of C#?

 

Best regards

 

Uli

Hello!

Chris what was the final resolution for the Gen1 devices, and the Mini with regards to NETMF 4.3? I've got my backup machine now configured as a Windows 8.1 system and also have Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 installed on it, I'm also going to be putting on it the full version of Visual Studio 2012 as well.

 

Oh and look for me next weekend.......

Is there a newer Micro framework SDK than the link above for VS 2012? The link above seems to be broken.

 

Thanks,

Jens

Help please.  I have a Netduino Plus 1 that I used over a year ago on a Windows 7 system running Visual C# Express 2010.

 

Now I'm trying to get that same Netduino working on a Windows 8.1 system running Visual Studio Express 2012.  I can't seem to come up with the correct combination of .NET Micro Framework version and Netduino SDK nersion that works with VS Express 2012.

 

Every version I tried downloading either wouldn't install (error message telling me it didn't support VS 2012), or it installed OK but 'Netduino' never appeared under the Visual C# template in Visual Studio.

 

What's the correct versions I need?

 

Thanks.

An update to my last plea for help.

 

I was able to install .NET Micro Framework SDK 4.3 (QFE2) and Netduino SDK v4.3.1 (Nov 2014) on my Windows 8.1 system with VS Express 2012.  When I started VS and selected 'New Project', the Micro Framework template appeared under both Visual Basic and Visual C#.  Within the Micro Framework template I was able to choose from several Netduino applications templates.  I selected 'Netduino Plus 1 Application'.

When I did that, an error message popped up:

 

The project file

'<long file path>NetduinoApplication6.csproj' cannot be opened.

 

There is a missing project subtype.

Subtype: '{b69e32 ......a37f}' is unsupported by this installation.

 

I got a similar error pop-up no matter which Netduino template I chose, under both Visual Basic and Visual C#.

 

Can someone explain what's happening here?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul
