This project contains the source code for the managed IP stacks for the Netduino family of microcontroller boards.

The entire Netduino.IP stack, from link layer interface to the networking protocols, is written in C#. It works with the standard System.Net classes (Socket, HttpWebRequest, etc.) for backwards compatibility, so existing NETMF projects should work out of the box.

Netduino.IP has been designed to use as little as 4KB of RAM (vs 10s of KBs for lwIP). Plus the new stack only consumes RAM when networking is used; garbage collection is minimized by design.

The new Netduino.IP stack is designed for modularity and for use across many communication mediums and many different networking chips.

Netduino.IP contains the core Netduino.IP stack offering features such as TCP and UDP sockets, DNS etc.

The Netduino.IP project contains the code for the Netduino Plus 2 and the Netduino 3 Ethernet boards.

Netduino.IP_CC3100 contains the Netduino.IP stack for the CC3100 chip as found on the Netduino 3 WiFi board.

One of the advantages of the Netduino.IP is the fact that it is written in C# and can be debugged from within Visual Studio.

Debugging the managed network requires a special version of the firmware to be deployed to the Netduino board in question. Build instructions can be found in the Netduino_SDK repository.

Once debugged, any changes to the Netduino.IP code can be built into the firmware and deployed to the board. More information about building the firmware can be found in the Netduino_SDK github repository.
