Extensible Emulator Overviews
The Microsoft® .NET Micro Framework provides a set of tools that enable you to emulate your hardware in software. With this extensible hardware emulator, you can have both your hardware and your software in development concurrently. This section provides an introduction to the extensible emulator.
In This Section
- Introducing the Extensible Emulator
This topic provides a look at what the extensible hardware emulator is and what it can do. - Creating A Custom Emulator: A Step-by-Step Example
In this walkthrough, you will create an emulator for a hypothetical massage chair unit, as well as a test application that runs on the emulator. - Configuring Emulator Components
This topic introduces techniques for using the XML configuration engine to load and initialize the Microsoft® .NET Micro Framework emulator components in your device emulator. - Building a User Interface for Your Emulator
This topic explains how to create a user interface for your hardware emulator program.
Note
When you install the .NET Micro Framework SDK, the installation program creates a folder in your My Documents
folder called Microsoft .NET Micro Framework
. That, in turn, has a folder named Samples
. In the Samples
folder, you'll see a folder called Temperature
. The Temperature
folder contains a sample that demonstrates the use of a custom emulator component.
