A .Net CPU

Posted by timothy on from the punctuation-butchers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Windows for devices has an article about the .Net CPU. The chip is programmed with a subset of the CLR and runs the same software as the SPOT smart watches. Among other things, "[t]he computer module is implemented in the format of a 32-pin "DIP" (dual inline package) chip, allowing the module to conveniently plug into a standard 32-pin DIP socket. In addition, the ".netcpu CPU Module" integrates 4MB of nonvolatile Flash memory (interfaced via an SPI interface on the SoC). It also provides 24 general purpose digital I/O lines, which are multiplexed with other functions including 8 VTU ports, a USB port, two serial ports, and SPI and I2C interfaces." More information about the product can be found at the .netcpu company website."

    While supplies last, you'll also get a free acronym dictionary, so that laymen can understand what the hell this thing does.

    But does it run Linux?

    Oh who cares.... it's Microsoft hardware.
    Hmm... bit of a condrum that one. If it's Microsoft hardware, shouldn't it be Microhard software? Or since soft+hard = firm, shouldn't it be Microfirm jigglyware...

    The chip... runs the same software as the SPOT smart watches.

    I wonder if it's going to be as popular as the SPOT smart watches?
