As smi-mark said, DevForce EF uses only WCF for communications to a BOS. Both http(s) and tcp are supported. For a "vanilla" configuration the objectServer element in the ideaBlade section of the configuration file is all that's needed for configuring communications. For more advanced configurations or to override default settings, you need to include a WCF serviceModel section in the configuration file. Sample config files can be found in the SampleCode folder of your DevForce installation.
Check the BOS and Deployment chapters in the Developer's Guide for more information.
