.NET Framework - Support for USB and BT
Asked By Navnit
19-Feb-07 09:58 AM
I would like to know what all device support is provided currently by the
.Net Micro Framework?
Does it support USB and Blue Tooth, SD and MMC etc?
Can some expert help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance

There is no filesystem support, so SD/MMC is likely a no, unless you're
talking an SD peripheral. For everything else it's really up to the OEM.
USB client is there. USB Host is far more difficult, and it depends on what
class of device you want to support. Bluetooth is really nothing more than
a serial radio and is pretty easily implemented (compared to something like
a USB device, not that it's really simple).
From an application perspective you'll see that the SDK really provides only
SPI, I2C and RS232 serial, so any other peripheral would have a custom
object model provided by the OEM.

In addition to SPI, Serial, and I2C, the framework supports USB and GPIO.
Other types of connections, such as Bluetooth, are being considered.

Actually, the USB part of that is a bit misleading. USB Function is
supported for Application download and debug ONLY; except for SideShow
devices.

Thanks for the quick response..
Surprised to know that support for File System is not present.
Its difficult to use this frame work for a handy GPS navigator, or a Camera
kind of device which needs a storage media..
Is there any possibility of implementation in the future versions? Or does
the framework have capability for developer extendibility.
Thanks and Regards,
Navnith
This could be a constraint for devices planing to implement
A future FS is a possibility, but yes, you can always write one as well.

Certainly, there are Flash parts with support for an SPI interface, you can
even use MMC/SD cards in SPI mode, so you can write an FS of your choosing
in managed code. The general idea with the Micro Framework is to extend it
in managed code in whatever way you need/desire.

Correct. I should have been clearer. Thanks.

think EW is causing what you reported. My guess is the images come from a camera that is smart enough to tag the images as portrait or landscape. Many modern cameras myself when creating web photo album pages. (I use JAlbum for this, ) If I'm correct and this is your situation then there really is no good solution, other than manually ones Expression Web leaves alone. The question is why Expression Web is acting on the camera EXIF orientation information and how do I tell it to ignore it? All of these muck about with them. Most image editing software doesn't seem to change the EXIF camera orientation when you rotate an image, so Expression Web is always going to get it image that's been manipulated in advance. This makes sense as the data is original camera orientation, not a "This way up" tag Even if I did want Expression Web to It's only EW that's deciding to rotate the images based on the EXIF camera orientation information and it's a huge nuisance and I want a way to tell there is no other way that I can see, you could set it to the 'correct' settings in the camera and miss out a step that way. . . . your editor can do batch converstions?. . .

Accessing DirechShow camera buffer under WinCE .NET Framework Greetings I am writing application under WinCE 6.0 that should work with a video camera. And I need not just to display video but also access each frame raster buffer i.e. pixel-per-pixel RGB data). From my BSP developer I have a camera driver supporting DirectShow. Via this driver camera really works and its video preview comes to the screen quite correct. But now I need to access the frame raster - how to do this via DirectShow can do whatever operation you need to do.
