Will the NXT run the .NET Micro Framework?

March 18th, 2008 · No Comments · General

So far, I haven’t found anything to show that the .NET Micro Framework will work on the NXT brick. The processor on the NXT brick will support the Micro Framework, but it looks like there isn’t enough memory. If anyone has proof of this being done (or of it failing), please contact me.

I did find this post by Guy Ziv (from nxtasy.org):

he says (and I quote from Lugnet):

The .NET Micro Framework documentations
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/bb278106.aspx
says it requires at least 256K RAM and 512K Flash.

The NXT processor has 64K RAM and 256K Flash….

So, it looks like my fears are true. I was really looking forward to using .NET to program on the NXT. I’ll have to see what sort of controller I can find, and make some interface cables to use the NXT motors and sensors.
