We have built a DevKit (development board) based on the ATMEL AT91SAM9261 (ARM 9 Core) and the .NET Micro Framework 3.0 (also running with 4.0 BETA!). The board is equipped with a 3.4" OLED Display 480x272 (amazing viewing angle and contrast at very low power consuption), a 10/100 MBit Ethernet Auto-MDI and some more nice features on it like touch-screen with gesture support. Please see the product portal for details.
You ask yourself what's so special about it?
- programming, deploying and debugging directly with Visual Studio 2008
- includes full intellisense support
- 100% C# managed code - no underlaying OS (.NET MF itself beeing the OS)
- consuming and / or HOSTing Web-Services (DPWS) on the device
- user interface using WPF (a small subset of desktops Windows Presentation Foundation)
- NO contact with hardware-close code like ISRs, processor registers, address mapping or assembly language
