.NET **nanoFramework** is comprised of a number of components, from the firmware running on the target devices to the various class libraries distributed as NuGet packages. All those have got a considerable download count (and keep increasing). Because it's OSS we can't possible know or track who is using it.
If you are using .NET **nanoFramework** in a commercial product we would love to know. Please fill in [this form](https://1drv.ms/xs/s!AnbQmclZwQHagSzU74bS4uOTLxsc).

.NET **nanoFramework** is the perfect enabler for developing software that works on embedded devices. Start with a low cost and readily available development board, then use .NET **nanoFramework** to write, debug and deploy your code.

Whether this is your first foray into programming or are a seasoned developer, if you want a powerful and easy to use tool for developing software that runs on embedded devices, you are in the right place. With its modular architecture, it’s easy to grab the core components (like the CLR, debugger and interpreter) and extendibility to new hardware platforms, .NET **nanoFramework** is the perfect partner for your project. The current reference implementation uses [ChibiOS](http://www.chibios.org/dokuwiki/doku.php) supporting several [ST Microelectronics](http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en.html) development boards and also [ESP32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32).

Because it’s completely free and [Open Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) you have access to and the ability to modify all parts of the code including the ability to leverage what others have already contributed. If you are willing to, you can help shape the future by contributing back to the project and rapidly growing community.

Here are some of its unique features:

- First class debugger experience right on the target hardware with breakpoints, single step, step into, step out, step over, pause and stop.
- Powerful and free programming environment with [Microsoft Visual Studio IDE](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/).
- Support for a large range of inexpensive boards from several manufacturers including: Discovery and Nucleo boards from [ST Microelectronics](http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en.html), [ESP32 and S2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32) series, [CC1352R1-LAUNCHXL](https://www.ti.com/tool/LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1) from Texas Instruments, [i.MXRT1060](https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i.mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/mimxrt1060-evk-i.mx-rt1060-evaluation-kit:MIMXRT1060-EVK) from NXP and many others.
