Just like you, we are very excited about the possibilities of this new product family! Today, we are releasing a new beta firmware upgrade that includes a complete set of features. This firmware is supported on G400-S and G400-D System on Modules (SoM). Please see the G400 Developers Guide for the release notes and known issues.
ChipworkX, the most powerful NETMF SoM prior to G400, is now discontinued and being replaced by G400-D. The latter is mostly backward compatible. The documentation includes a table that lists the functions and pin mapping between the two modules. We highly recommend that you upgrade your designs ASAP as ChipworkX is now a non-stock special-order only product, at a minimum of 100 units.
We are not stopping this family at just SoM options. We are also creating a .NET Gadgeteer mainboard that hosts the G400-S SoM. This will offer a quick path for evaluating the G400 family and brings a very powerful option to our plug-and-play offers. This mainboard is in the design stage with expected samples in about three weeks. The attached image shows the design in progress. This will be called FEZ Ninja, unless you can recommend a cooler name. I pick FEZ Raptor! Add your name here and get a free one https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=12635
That is not true. Internal Ethernet. Will not work only on the beta board. These boards are clearly marked with “not for production” but anything comes after work fine.
