I know it is possible to debug and deploy .netmf over ethernet. Let’s say that I have a Cerb device, with no ethernet stuff, but I have a usb host device (Rasp Pi or Beagle etc) connected to it. Would it be possible to write a bridge application that will “expose” the Cerb device to Visual Studio over TCP/IP?

We do not support Ethernet debugging on any of the NETMF devices.
Really? Are you sure? :-[
Alright, so then it would have to be a wrapper around the usb data which then exposes it as a virtual serial port to visual studio. More work than I thought but it is necessary.
So the TCP/IP option is only for deploying but not for debugging? Is this a Microsoft limitation?
@ Mr. John Smith - We just do not support TCP/IP deploying or debugging on our devices. It isn’t something we have implemented or tested in the firmware.
Kewlio.
We did support Ethernet debugging in the past but was problematic back then. I think we were at netmf 3.0
GHI SDK 4.1.x did support TCP/IP Deploy and debug.
MS supports it also with 4.2 and 4.3, but GHI dropped it with 4.2.
For me it also would be a nice to have, as long as I can use other Network communication in parallel, but it’s not a must.
