Beta Version Review .NET Micro Framework 4.2
Today on Habré there was already news about the release of the new Beta version of .Net Micro Framework . I want to tell you more about the new features and our participation in the release of this version.
The news about the beta is available on the blog of the leader of the .Net MF development team, Colin Miller. A feature of this release is that, in addition to corrections and additions made by Microsoft itself, it includes several components created by members of the .Net MF Community .
The main innovations of the .Net Micro Framework 4.2 Beta are the following:
A little more detail about each innovation:
MFUpdate :
New functionality that allows you to conveniently remotely update the .Net Micro Framework software. The good news is that this mechanism allows the use of new cryptographic primitives. Developers can now also provide cryptographic protection for updates.
')
A / D conversion :
Work with the ADC / DAC is designed specifically for performance requirements. Up to 8 channels are supported.
VB.NET :
The code can now be written not only in C # but also in VB. Appropriate templates for Visual Studio have been added. (For Visual Studio Express, only C # is supported so far)
StringBuilder :
The implementation of StringBuilder is fully consistent with the "big" .NET. This is the first step to the implementation of RegEx, which will be added a little later.
SNTP :
A new SNTP implementation can be used with lwIP or any other stack.
PKStudio :
PKStudio collects all the necessary functions for port development in one graphic IDE. When developing PKStudio, we tried as much as possible to simplify the process of creating ports using our own experience of writing a port. It allows you to conveniently work with all components of the Porting Kit: search, analyze interconnections, create and modify components, compile projects, etc. An important feature is the ability to convert Porting Kit projects into fully operational Keil uVision projects. Since at the moment PKStudio is not fully debugged yet, it is available only as part of the source code distribution package on Codeplex.
Thus. Net Micro Framework is actively developing. The community is gradually expanding, and the platform is becoming more popular.

The main innovations of the .Net Micro Framework 4.2 Beta are the following:
- Remote software update support (MFUpdate)
- Work with ADC / DAC (A / D conversion)
- VB.NET support
- IL code optimization
- Julius Friedman with the support of Michael Schwarz implemented StringBuilder.
- Valer Bocan helps implement Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
- My colleague Igor Kiselyov and I added a special IDE for developing new ports - PKStudio.
