That was my post and I’m glad it helped you. I have been putting off moving to VS2017 until I see it’s possible. Sooner or later I’ll have a bash at it and post any lessons learned (unless there is one already)
That’s great news Justin, thanks for the info.
I have been putting off moving everything to VS2017 because of the Netduino work requiring VS2015. I’ll clone a VM and see if my Netduino 2+ still works under the latest and greatest.
You need to update and compile the relevant NETMF SDK which will create the necessary VSIX file for VS2017.
Currently i have only bothered with NETMF 4.4 so you would need to create a 4.4 firmware as well. Compiling 4.4 firmware for any of the STM based Netduino’s should be a relatively easy task.
Justin where/how did you manage to get 4.4 firmware
so far I´m trying to follow along in all these posts in this issue, just to get a working extension for visual studio 2017
I am able to Build for 4.4 in Vs2015 just have no idea on how to get a firmware that match 4.4
To get a working 4.4 on a Netduino 3 you need to make a copy of the STM32F4Disco port in the 4.4 repro then tweak a few files. You can possibly just change the main xtal speed from 8mhz to 25mhz in platform_selector.h compile and then run on the N3.
To finish the job properly you will need to copy the N3 specific includes into your 4.4 port and update the tinybooter and tinyclr projects.
For someone who has done it before it’s probably a days work.
I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I would appreciate any updates posted whenever you have anything so thanks in advance. I’m up to my neck in a project at the moment but want to move over ot 2017 and 4.4 in the next few months.
