Is it possible that I use .Net Micro Framework with a custom ARM9 or ARM7 board, and without any display device or input device?
I want to buy a ARM9 IC and make my own board to just controlling a servo motor (for example) without anything else…
Is it possible to program it with .Net Micro Framework? and control output port manually?
Thanks
Yes it is possible to create a custom board with an ARM9 or ARM7 microcontroller and use the .NET Micro Framework. I suggest choosing an exact model match to a supported MicroController. If you don’t get an exact match you may need to use the MicroFramework Porting kit and write drivers or modify code in C (not C#) to support any differences.
For example your task is fairly straight forward so I suggest starting at http://www.sparkfun.com/categories/184 Find a board that supports what you need then make your own board based on one of these chips, then just use the available firmware which is generally available for free (confirm before getting too far).
Really unless you are planning to manufacture 100 of your idea, I would consider buying a board for $30 to $65. A quick glance at http://www.mouser.com showed the Netduino MicroController to be $20 in single unit quantities.
