The ultimate "would be" MF project!

"Desktop Fabricator" - developed by two students at Cornell, who have also made the plans freely available.

They use  an LPC-H2148 Microcontroller (ARM7TDMI-S, perfect for .NET MF).

I am using the same LPC-H2148 board for a soccer robotics project.

Any idea where I can get a hold of the .NET micro framework firmware for this ARM7TDMI-S device?

The MF team isn't planning to support that particular device (sorry if my comment was misleading - I simply meant that it would make a nice addition to the line-up for such lightweight applications). The closest thing (and it isn't really all that close) is probably the forthcoming SJJ Micro device: http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS7582738824.html

Is there anywhere I can find some good documentation on how to implement a HAL for the .NET MF? I would really like to use one of the Olimex boards since they are really inexpensive. I've written native code for the NXP LPC2000 series ARM uCs and would like to try my hand at getting .NET MF to work on it, but there is a serious lack of documentation. I have the SDK installed and looked though the helpfile, but there's nothing about implementing a PAL/HAL - only how to implement your own emulator.

The requirements for the MF are some hundred KB of RAM and even more flash memory. This device isn't even close to these requirement, why do you think it would be a perfect target for MF? I'm currently wondering whether the MF fits on a MCB-STR9 (96K RAM, 512K Flash), but the SDK doesn't seem to support Keil's widely used ULINK USB JTAG interface.

Documentation on the MF is really not where it should be and playing just with a clumsy emulator is not the fun I was expecting. I have the feeling that the lack of documentation is a common sickness of the embedded world. Sorry guys, but we will try again in a year or two and give your baby a second chance.
