Here is a BETA release of the SerializerLibMF (Library for the .NET Micro-Framework) for those of you who have an SJJ Micro EDK Plus development board.

      SerializerLibMF Visual Studio Solution  (46KB)

There is no documentation yet, but you can look at the included examples (in the solution).  The library has been pretty well tested, but the examples haven't been tested yet.

To successfully build and deploy the solution, you will need to have the following installed:

• SJJ Micro EDK Plus Development Kit and Software
• Pentium III or higher development system.
• 512MB of RAM, the more RAM the better
• RS-232 Serial port
• Windows XP Pro SP2 or higher
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
• Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 2.0 SDK SP1  
• .NET Micro Framework

Once you open the Visual Studio Solution, you'll need to build the SerializerLibMF project and the SerializerLibMFInstaller project.  Then, install the SerializerLibMF by right clicking on the SerializerLibMFInstaller, and selecting 'Install'.   You can then resolve the references in the NavigationExample and LineFollowingExample to point to SerializerLibMF, and build both example projects.

We've been using a USB to Serial cable to deploy applications to the EDK Plus, and have found that USB to RS-232 cables using the "Prolific" chips work best.  Here's the cheapest we've found.  Another cable we were using caused us problems deploying the application to the iPac board.
