I’m looking at using the Cerbuino Net as a replacement for my Panda IIs. I want to attach a Music Sheld (I have three lying around), a PIR sensor, and some contact closure inputs to the device.
What firmware do I need in order to use the SPI and network I/O features of this board?
Will I have SSL and higher level features like HttpRequest?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but I’ve never used any Gadgeteer boards, and up till now haven’t been much interested in a non-premium offering from GHI.
@ jasdev - My guess would be that you will need the Cerberus firmware with Ethernet support. As I understand it, the Cerberus firmware does not include SSL support.
I might be wrong since I have not done any network stuff other than on the Spider and and on the OSHW with the WIFly module.
I looked at the wiki, the tutorials, and the codeplex repository, but I’m still not sure how to proceed. If I want to use this board, but develop a plain NETMF application with network support, what firmware do I use?
@ jasdev - The Cerbuino is in the Cerberus Family and therefore uses the Cerberus firmware. The Cerberus firmware comes in two flavors, with Ethernet and without Ethernet.
To use the network interface on the Cerbuino Net you will need to install the Cerberus firmware that includes Ethernet, this is included with the SDK so you will not need any additional downloads.
Create a normal NETMF console project in VS.
Add a reference to: GHI.Hardware.FEZCerb
Add references to whatever other assemblies I need for my project.
