In February 2011, Novell posted a preview of the Mono 2.12 C# compiler, the first open-source compiler for .NET Micro Framework.<ref>[http://forums.netduino.com/index.php?/forum/12-mono/: Experimental Mono support for Mac/Linux]</ref>

On 16 December 2016, GHI Electronics announced their own implementation of Micro Framework called TinyCLR OS, citing lack of maintenance of NETMF by Microsoft.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=24044# |title=Introducing TinyCLR OS: a new path for our NETMF devices] |access-date=2017-07-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728203332/https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=24044# |archive-date=2017-07-28 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref> On 7 July 2017 GHI announced 5th preview of TinyCLR OS.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=24580# |title=Fifth Preview of TinyCLR OS Core Features and Porting] |access-date=2017-07-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728202902/https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=24580# |archive-date=2017-07-28 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref> On 2 February 2018 GHI announced 8th preview of TinyCLR OS.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://tinyclr.com/tinyclr-os-eighth-release-fez-hydra-wi-fi-and-cortex-m7/# |title=TinyCLR OS Eighth Release: FEZ Hydra, Wi-Fi, and Cortex-M7] |access-date=2018-02-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180309184128/http://www.tinyclr.com/tinyclr-os-eighth-release-fez-hydra-wi-fi-and-cortex-m7/# |archive-date=2018-03-09 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref> On 5 April 2018 GHI announced 10th preview of TinyCLR OS.<ref>[https://forums.ghielectronics.com/t/tinyclr-os-tenth-release-bugs-rtc-and-stm32f7/21327 TinyCLR OS Tenth Release: Bugs, RTC, and STM32F7]</ref>

==Hardware==

Multiple vendors make chips, development kits, and more that run the Micro Framework.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://www.microsoft.com/netmf/hardware/default.mspx# |title=Compatible Device Matrix] |access-date=2010-10-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101223163114/http://www.microsoft.com/netmf/hardware/default.mspx# |archive-date=2010-12-23 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref>

GHI Electronics makes several modules that support the Micro Framework:

* EMX Module<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/category/18/|title=Catalog - Latest Products - GHI Electronics|publisher=GHI Electronics, LLC|access-date=2011-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320155135/http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/category/18/#|archive-date=2012-03-20|dead-url=yes|df=}}</ref>

* USBizi144 Chipset<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/116|title=USBizi144 Chipset - GHI Electronics|publisher=GHI Electronics, LLC|access-date=2011-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107233556/https://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/116#|archive-date=2014-01-07|dead-url=yes|df=}}</ref> and USBizi100, whose only difference is the lack of USB host support in the USBizi100<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/117|title=USBizi100 Chipset - GHI Electronics|publisher=GHI Electronics, LLC|access-date=2011-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107234235/https://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/117#|archive-date=2014-01-07|dead-url=yes|df=}}</ref>

GHI Electronics also makes the ''.NET FEZ'' line of very small open-source hardware boards with proprietary firmware, targeted for beginners. They are based on the USBizi chipset and all its features. The FEZ Domino board offers USB host. Even though FEZ is for beginners, it's also a low-cost starting point for professionals wanting to explore NETMF.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/category/7/|title=Catalog - Latest Products - GHI Electronics|publisher=|access-date=2011-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130302063709/http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/category/7/#|archive-date=2013-03-02|dead-url=yes|df=}}</ref> Some of these boards are physically compatible with the [[Arduino]].
