How to Run .NET Applications on MG460 / RobustOS Pro Gateway

Installation

#Download and run the installation script
curl -sSL https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh | bash /dev/stdin --channel Current

#Add .NET to your PATH
echo 'export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/.dotnet' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

#Verify installation
dotnet --version

Creating and Running a Simple Test Application

#Create a new directory for your test app
mkdir -p ~/dotnet-test
cd ~/dotnet-test

#Initialize a new console application
dotnet new console

#Replace the default Program.cs with a simple test
cat > Program.cs << 'EOF'
// Simple test program for MG460 Gateway
Console.WriteLine("MG460 Gateway .NET Test");
Console.WriteLine($"Current Date/Time: {DateTime.Now}");
Console.WriteLine($".NET Version: {Environment.Version}");
Console.WriteLine($"OS Version: {Environment.OSVersion}");

// Test file operations
try {
    File.WriteAllText("test.txt", "Hello from .NET on MG460 Gateway!");
    string content = File.ReadAllText("test.txt");
    Console.WriteLine($"File test successful: {content}");
} 
catch (Exception ex) {
    Console.WriteLine($"File test error: {ex.Message}");
}

Console.WriteLine("Test completed successfully!");
EOF

#Build the application
dotnet build

#Run the application
dotnet run
This basic guide demonstrates that your MG460 Gateway can successfully run .NET applications, which is the foundation needed for potentially replacing the component with your device.
