VBB Emulator for Netduino
James Caska 19 May 2011 VBB now has limited support for Netduino. Netduino uses the .NET Micro Framework which allows Visual Studio to be used for embedded development.Visual Studio is designed to allow you to deploy to multiple types of targets. When you work with the Netduino you configure it to work with USB Transport. There is a Emulator option but the defaultemulator is not useful for working with the Netduino. VBB aims to change that. When you install VBB ( www.virtualbreadboard.com ) there is an installer option asking if you want to install a NetduinoEmulator for the .NET Micro Framework. If you install the Netduino Emulator it will appear in the Emulator Device List in the Visual Studio .NET Micro Framework configuration Tab.

4 StartVBB and open the matching VBB project. The projects are featured as builtin projects in the New Project tab

6 Run the project Nothing will happen – that’s expected because it is waiting for theVisual Studio to connect to it via the Emulator

7 Start the Visual Studio Project. This will launch the emulator which will pop up a connection log form

You can now set breakpoints in Visual Studio and debug your application.
