We are looking into building a new product and consider using .NET micro framework for this.
In short, we need to be able to communicate over Ethernet (TCP/IP), send SMS text messages and answer incoming calls and translate these to SIP-like packages and send over the TCP/IP network. A small web server would also be nice, for configuration, status and log viewing.
Question is, does the HW have enough bang to perform these tasks?
- Ethernet ENC28 Module (ip packet sniffing and voice over ip)
- Cellular Radio Module (connect to GSM network)
- FEZ Raptor Mainboard
- FLASH Module (for configuration)
I do not have an answer but I want to point out that G400D had a built in Ethernet, which should be faster than enc28.
And the G400-S does not?
So, a G400-D Module, the G400HDR Breakout and some soldering to get the Ethernet connector in place, and we should be good to go?
Is the G400D production ready? As in, if we make a custom board with the required connectors - can we buy the G400D modules, drop them on our board and ship that to the customers?
The FEZ Raptor seems better for prototyping - and soldering the G400-S module on the final product seems like a better/easier solution.
Both are in full production.
