Microsoft Releases SP1 For .Net Micro
Today at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Boston, Microsoft released an update to its .Net Micro Framework 2.0 development platform for embedded systems.
The software features a number of new enhancements to help users build secure and widely compatible applications for resource constrained environments.
Service Pack 1 includes a utility that facilitates the automated provisioning of mobile devices.
Among other things, Microsoft expects it to be used by equipment makers that want to create customized deployment software for their products.
It also allows them to prevent unsigned firmware or application code from being installed on their devices.
Another new tool in SP1 is built to help generate bitmap fonts for applications, allowing greater flexibility interface design, Microsoft said.
Microsoft said a number of embedded systems providers have recently announced support for ..Net Micro, including:
- ESC Boston
- NXP Semiconductors
- SJJ Embedded Micro Solutions
- EmbeddedFusion
- Atmel Corp.
Atmel is porting the .Net Micro Framework onto its ARM9-based microcontroller.
Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a software development kit for the .Net Micro Framework.
