Updated Wiki: .NET MF 4.2 Roadmap

lorenzte — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:47:07 GMT

Feature List for v4.2 and QFEs

Version 4.2 of the .NET Micro Framework SDK contains the following new features:

Remote Firmware Update: The .NET Micro Framework SDK and PK now support updating your device firmware remotely.
Complete Cryptographic Object Model over PCKS #11: Most types and algorithms used in the desktop framework are now supported. PKCS #11 allows extensibility at the firmware level for adding new cryptographic tokens.
OneWire, PWM and A/D object model: Support for PWM and A/D operations is now provided as a standard interface. OneWire is provided through a community development effort.
SNTP and FTP (client and server): Support for SNTP and FTP is provided as a community development effort.
StringBuilder and Regex types: Support for StringBuilder and Regex is provided as a community development effort.
VB.NET: The SDK now support VB.NET.
Support for Cortex M3 devices with STM32 processor family samples: The support for the STM32 family is provided as a community development effort and features two solutions for two different development boards. See the Porting Kit for details.
PKStudio: PKStudio supplements SolutionWizard to create solutions for the Porting Kit environment. See the Porting Kit distribution for details.

QFE1

PWM Enhancements
The PWM feature now supports a scale factor which enables modulation over a wider range of values and better precision. QFE1 supports modulations greater than 1MHz and lower than 1Hz. In addition, the PWM feature will automatically determine the scale based on the provided frequency so that precision is optimal.

Bug Fixes

1385 Double/Float ToString() for GCC builds (1.0001 displayed as 1.1)
1393 Emulator crashes on update install
1436 Missing break statement in TinyBooter
1421 FAT corruption - Format was not properly erasing all of the FS sectors
Resource failure under memory pressure
Loaded Assembly names and versions are displayed by default
Better handling of Porting Kit builds for RTIP devices when RTIP libraries are not installed
Fix Prepare_Copy and Prepare_Zero for devices that are not 4-byte aligned

LWIP and Network Driver Improvements

LWIP will force TCP connections in the closing states to abort after linger timeout (or LWIP default timeout if linger is not used)
Enable Linger value to trump default LWIP timeout for TCP sockets in the closing states
Added light weight protections (locking) for LWIP
Fixes and Improvements to the SAM7x EMAC driver

QFE2

Feature set contains the following: support for WinUSB, Analog Output, and GCC. Performance improvements for File System, Wear Leveling, Microbooter and TouchScreen.

Miscellaneous fixes for CodePlex Issues:
- Work Item: 1590 - Decrease boot time
- Work Item: 1636 - File.Exists returns true for unexisting file
- Work Item: 1656 - Problems with bad blocks handling in Wear Leveling Driver

- Work Item: 1635 - Substring issue in 4.2 RC4
- Work Item: 1659 - Bug in StringBuilder.Append (thanks to Julius Friedman)
- Work Item: 1672 - Wrong long to hex conversion
- Work Item: 1373 - MDK targets problems

Documentation for the SDK can be found on MSDN or downloaded from here. Documentation for the PK can be found here.

Original Roadmap

Features designed and coded by .NET MF Team for the next MF version (August 2011)

COMMITTED: Cryptographic Primitives OM

The current support is obsolete and non-standard. We plan to provide a new object model that is compatible with the traditional .NET and Compact Framework model for the following primitives in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace (non-Cng): SHA-256 and 512, HMAC-SHA-256 and 512, SHA-1 , HMAC-SHA-1, MD-5, AES, 3-DES, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and X509 certificates. The native code for the primitives will be the one from the OpenSSL stack.

COMMITTED: Remote firmware update middleware

This would include a PAL level API and a way to leverage it from the native application. The PAL level API will allow to Open/Close a firmware update transaction, save the data to flash, verify for integrity against and origin with a PK verification scheme (similar to what TinyBooter does today today), and eventually commit the change. We will address devices with enough FLASH/RAM resources to make the change transactional first and save the complete set of update binaries to a location in memory. Most likely an HTTP-based implementation will be provided as well as a sample for one or two ports in the PK.

COMMITTED: Time Protocol (SNTP) for lwIP, please note we might look into integrating RFC4833 for supporting time zone as well

TENTATIVE: IPv6

The support in lwIP is not very good but we plan to supplement it to achieve feature parity with IPv4.

TENTATIVE: Improvement to SerialPort

Specifically SerialPort.ReadExisting, (item 107 in CodePlex issues Db), SerialPort.DataReceived support for the emulator (item 75 in same Db) and SerialPort.BaseStream (WorkItem 363)

TENTATIVE: SolutionWizard support for SH solutions

TENTATIVE: StringBuilder

TENTATIVE: We plan to investigate the feasibility of exposing a StreamInsight port in the .NET MF. This would obviously be extremely simplified but still be capable of writing data aggregation and analysis applications, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee362541.aspx, which are a potential differentiator in markets such as Energy Management or Medical Devices.

NOTE: all work items above will be complete with tests, samples and MSDN docs.

Community Development

We are starting to see some interesting proposals from the community, please check all work items marked as feaures at http://netmf.codeplex.com. Some have already found a Core Tech Team member that offered help to work on them. Here is a list of the most interesting:

VB.NET: Jan Kucera offers to champion this effort

PWM & Analog standard OM: Mike Issa at GHI electronics offered to help with this work item

String.Format: Michael Schwarz offered to help

BitArray: Volker Goller offers help to supervise this work item and we are waiting for a volunteer from the community. This can be a fun way to approach embedded development with the .NET MF and contribute at the same time.

Principles

These are the principles and structure:

1) Existing release branches (client_4_1, client_4_2, …) will keep existing as from the beginning
2) There will be a development branch, called ‘current’, where we will continuously support NETMF until next official release by publishing fixes, new features and so on…
3) 4.3 release branch will be called ‘release_4_3’ and it will be a direct child of ‘current’
4) Subsequent releases will have their own branch
5) There will be a community branch where PKStudio and other community project will live. This will be a direct child of the development branch.

Any future QFEs will be directed to the release branch they target and integrated upwards to the development branch. Below the old and new branch structure.

Old structure

New structure

The community branch will be accessible to community member with R/W privileges. The development branch and release branches will be accessible to MS only (exceptions possible on occasion).
