    - PB 4.2 ignoring BOOTME requests So I've finally got my bootloader sending bootme broadcasts over the network (tested with a packet sniffer and contents look sane) but PB 4.2 just says "Waiting for BOOTME" . The device name appears in the list of Available Devices for download, but PB seems to be ignoring the bootme requests. The network setup is reasonably simple - the dev board and the second network card in my PC are connected via a hub. Is there any extra logging information that might help me locate the source of this problem? Many Thanks, James Tag: WMI Tag: 38834

    - NDIS EnterCriticalSection DEBUGCHK in CE 4.2 - HELP! Hey guys. I've been dealing with this problem for a while now, hoping that it would somehow get fixed. Unfortunately, it's still a problem for me, and it's getting more annoying and more troublesome as time goes on. Here's my original post on the subject: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm =3f030f26%241%40news.microsoft.com&rnum=8&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DMurawski%2Bgrou p:microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe %3DUTF-8%26safe%3Doff%26scoring%3Dd%26selm%3D3f030f26%25241%2540news.microso ft.com%26rnum%3D8 Here's a post from Steve Maillet where he lists it as bug #7 in his list of known CE 4.xx bugs: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Maillet+group:microsoft.public.windowsce.p latbuilder&start=90&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&scoring=d&selm=eB72 YpWQDHA.2316%40TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl&rnum=97 Basically, what's happening is this. When I have a PCMCIA card in my device at cold boot, NDIS occasionally hits a DEBUGCHK in the kernel when trying to enter a critical section that has never been initialized. Since I don't have access to NDIS code, I can't really tell what's going on, but the call stack looks like this: <stack dump> COREDLL!EnterCriticalSection(CRITICAL_SECTION * 0x01fd98c0 PcmciaMemListLock) line 90 + 76 bytes NDIS!mapAllWindowsForHSock(_CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, int 0x00000001, int (_NDIS_PCMCIA_WINDOW *)* 0x03d6a954 npwMapToDevice(_NDIS_PCMCIA_WINDOW *)) line 478 NDIS!PcmciaCallBack(unsigned int 0x00000040, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS * 0x080afdf0) line 620 PCMCIA!CallClient(unsigned int (unsigned int, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS *)* 0x00000000, unsigned int 0x01fa8aa0, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS * 0x00000000, _CLIENT_DRIVER * 0x2dfa5fda) line 600 + 24 bytes PCMCIA!CallbackThread(unsigned int 0x00000000) line 910 + 56 bytes COREDLL!ThreadBaseFunc(void * 0x03a6aecc CallbackThread(unsigned int), unsigned long 0x00000000) line 418 + 16 bytes </stack dump> Unfortunately, this problem is probably much more serious for me than it is for most CE platforms. Our device ALWAYS has a PCMCIA card in it, and it goes through a cold boot quite often. I seem to hit this problem almost every time my platform boots. To make things worse, about 50% of the time when it happens, and I try to run past the DEBUGCHK, I hit another critical access violation in NDIS. (I guess there's a critical section somewhere for a reason!) Does anyone have any new information on this problem? Any suggestions on what I should do? I've been dreading trying to call Microsoft about it directly. I haven't had much luck trying to describe problems of anything beyond trivial technical complexity with the first one or two levels of technical support. Should I suck it up and put in a call on this one? Thanks in advance guys. Mark Murawski Vocollect, Inc. Tag: WMI Tag: 38827

    - Batch build makeimg wince300 Hello, I am trying to configure a command line build for our project under WinCE 3.0. I want to be able to make an image of my platform (from the build directory) without having Platform Builder installed. We want this particular configuration, so that the application programmer in our firm will be able to build new images without having to install PB (since they won't use it anyway). To realize it, I copied the build directory of my project (which have the files generated after the the buildrel phase) and I've created a bat file which contains set all the necessary variables and path. I also copied the C:\WINCE300\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\BIN\I386 (to be able to use makeimg.exe and the programs needed to create the image). To use this package, I copy all the files in c:\wince300Img and then I run my batch file to set the variable and then I called makeimg to build the image. I test it and it works great on a computer with PB 3.0 already installed, but It doesn't work on my test machines which don't have PB installed (which is my goal!) On my test machines, the makeimage build stop always after the InitRegistry phase, and before it copies nknodebug.exe to nk.exe (I know that before I compared it with a "working" make image). Here's a snapshot: (...) InitRegistry Finished (875 lines). MAKEIMG: localization SKIPPED since COUNTRY is unchanged Windows CE ROM Image Builder v3.0 Copyright (c) 1995-2000 Microsoft Corporation Failed romimage c:\WINCE300Img\rev_5_16\release\ce.bib Failed romimage c:\WINCE300Img\rev_5_16\release\ce.bib I really don't understand what I am doing wrong. I must be forgetting a setting somewhere. I checked and re-checked all the system variables between my test machines and my machine with PB and everything is the same. I also try to copy the PB directory (and adding it to my path and CEPBDir variable) to one of my test machine to check if maybe a file was needed there... but I also had no luck. Here's the list of the system variable that I am setting in my batch file. rem ----------------------- rem Environment Settings rem ----------------------- SET DRIVE=c: Set ComSpec=C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe Set COUNTRY=USA Set IMGNODEBUGGER=1 Set _HOSTCPUTYPE=i386 Set _TGTCPUTYPE=MIPS Set _WINCEROOT=%DRIVE%\WINCE300Img\rev_5_16 Set _PUBLICROOT=%_WINCEROOT% Set _FLATRELEASEDIR=%_WINCEROOT%\release Set BIRCH=1 Set BUILD_DEFAULT=-e -w -nmake -i Set CEPBDir=C:\Programme\Windows CE Platform Builder\3.00 Set COUNTRY=USA Set HOMEDRIVE=C: Set HOMEPATH=\ Set IMGFLASH=1 Set IMGNODEBUGGER=1 Set MAXALL2_NOCURSOR=1 Set USE_DBGSER=NONE Set WINCECOD=1 Set WINCEDEBUG=retail Set WINCEMAP=1 Set _CURSLMTREE=pnt Set _DEPTREES=winceos msmq ie wceshell wceshellfe wceapps wceappsfe Set _PLATFORMDRIVE=C: Set _TGTCPU=R3000 Set _TGTCPUTYPE=MIPS Set _TGTOS=CE Set _TGTPLAT=puvplat Set _TGTPROJ=puvprog Set _WINCECALLED=1 Set _WINCEDRIVE=C: Set _WINCEEXTERNAL=1 Set _WINCEOSVER=300 Set MYPATH=%PATH% SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\WINCE300Img\rev_r5_6\release\bin\i386\; This solution already work for the wince212 version of our project, the batch file was greatly inspired from there (maybe this is the problem...)

    - Multicast problem (high Packet loss) I am using windows CE 4.2. I am testing Streaming Media using Windows Media Player which is Multicasted from a media server. I am testing on 2 types of X86 targets, one was build by our hardware engineer (lets say embedded bord)and other was VIA make. Both had exactly same components. When i am testing (playing) a multicast media on embedded board there is a packet loss of 20% with in the same network. But when i am testing on VIA board which is also on the same network these is a packet loss of 70%.( a bit surprising). In the case of TCP (unicast) both are working fine. I know it is not good to ask you all, What is the exact problem. But i need all of your suggesions in regard, where can be the problem. IS it the software problem? OS is same, all the drivers are same and of the same version. The only difference is on the target board i am using VIA CEPC and on the VIA board i am using MS CEPC. IS it the hardware problem? Both have the same Ethernet and more over in the case of Unicast (TCP) they r working fine. Is it the problem related to buffers? is there any way to increase the datagram buffers in CE 4.2. If i am developing my own application to play the media i can increase using some APIs. But i need a genaric one. Can all of you please give ur sugg. in regarding this problem. Tag: WMI Tag: 38803

    - Future of Data Access on Windows CE? Hi all, I have been reviewing articles on this newsgroup with regard to the use of ADOCE and CE.NET platform. The result of this review is that Microsoft recommends that for future development that ADO.NET be used for data access. I find this position problematic for headless devices. Currently, we use ADOCE to access an OLEDB driver for a third party from ASP pages on a headless device. Microsoft's stand is that we should move to ADO.NET. There are two problems with this for our targeted system. 1) ADO.NET requires the .NET Compact Framework and this is only available on devices with display. 2) The addition of the .NET Compact Framework to the OS takes valuable resources when it is really not needed for anything else. I understand that Microsoft have a strategy for rolling out .NET Framework and incorporating Windows CE into this framework, but I think that they may have dropped the ball on this one. When embedded devices are being developed there are many tradeoffs made between cost and functionality - this is true whether the device has a display or not. But being forced to add the .NET Compact Framework because we wish to have database access from the Web Server (for example), seems a bit heavy handed IMHO. It also (currently) mandates a device with a display. I think that some thought needs to be put into the realm of headless devices and the functionality that they require. What do others think? Maybe we can get Microsoft to re-assess this situation for the future. Regards, Brian Tag: WMI Tag: 38801

    - migrate from 3.0 to 4.2 Now that I have finished work on wince 3.00 and is working on our platform and is stable :0)....We are moving to wince.net 4.2. Our BSP is based on the intel_sa1110_assabet. From what I have read The Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit is no longer available for purchase. Therefore, the BSP for this hardware platform is not included in Platform Builder 4.2 and is no longer supported. If your development platform requires the Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit and the platform directory for testing or other purposes, you can use the BSP for the Intel XScale DBPXA250 Development Platform, which has been enabled to support ARMV4 builds, or you can use another suitable BSP from a third-party vendor. However, Platform Builder 4.2 still supports the Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit CSP drivers for the integrated peripherals on the SA1100 CPU or the SA1111 CPU companion chip. Refer to %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\CSP for these drivers. I'm confused, as far as I understand from the above once I have installed wince 4.2 (I am doing this tomorrow) I can install the ARMV4I option (I'm not installing ARMv4) I can build code for the SA1110 StrongArm. Can I copy the Intel_sa1110_assabet BSP from wince 3.00 and build an image to run on the assabet, it would be useful and would provide immediate feedback. Or will I have to take the Intel Xscale DBPXA250 and integrate/cobble in our drivers, oal, bootloader etc.. I don'y have a feel for how much work is involved, is it weeks or months.... Any advice would be appreciated Regards Tariq Tag: WMI Tag: 38799

    - SIP disable Hi, On our platform, the user will typically have a keyboard. Usually, this keyboard is a full ASCII and numeric unit, so there's no need for a SIP. However, there are situations where a user might have only a numeric keyboard and want the SIP for rare alpha input (an operator's name, maybe, entered once per day). So, I don't want the SIP popping up, by default, any time an EDIT field is selected, but I don't want to completely remove SIP support. My initial strategy for this was to implement my own SIP, which would be the default. This default SIP would do nothing (no window popup, no resizing of dialogs, etc.) When this SIP was selected, then, it would be very much like having no SIP at all in the system (design goal #1 met). However, the user (or the user's application), could change the active SIP, if it wanted SIP input, and could then easily pop the SIP up or down at the right times (design goal #2 met). However, it turns out that none of the logical ways I tried to implement this SIP will cause this to happen. I've tried having the SIP return E_FAIL from its Select() method. This causes the SIP not to have a UI, but also seems to disable the other SIPs from doing anything. I've tried returning error codes from other methods, also. I've tried having the Showing() method call various of the APIs available to the SIP, asking that it be closed, but this doesn't work correctly (the frame window around the SIP is still displayed, although it has no client content). I've also done this for the Select() and other methods. Since I don't have source for the SOFTKB component, I'm out of ideas as to how to achieve my goals. Does anyone know of a DeviceIoControl() for the SOFTKB driver, other API function, a registry entry, or insider's trick that will allow me to either prevent the SIP from appearing, or cause it to immediately pop back down without disabling SIP input completely?

    - File system root on hard disk I have a cepc nk.bin built with the RAM and ROM file system and hive based registry storage on the Hard Disk that works great. I now want the root of the object store to be mounted to the hard disk so programs, shortcuts, etc. will be preserved though reboots. To do this I replaced the RAM/ROM file system with the ROM only file system from the catalog. I also changed the mountflags for HDProfile\FATFS to the following: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\HDProfi le\FATFS] "EnableCacheWarm"=dword:0 "MountFlags"=dword:E I created the windows directory on my hard disk and copied all of the items from the release directory that appeared in the FILES section of my ce.bib. This boots successfully and runs with the following issues: The control panel is empty. File explorer is missing icons for some of its buttons. The start menu is empty past the first tier. Is there a section of files that I am failing to copy over, or a step that I am missing? Many of the shortcuts that are missing appear in initobj.dat is there something that needs to be done to that file? Is this the best way to go about this issue? I like the neatness of copying one file to upgrade the system instead of all the files listed in the files section like the RAM build, however cold boot retention is a must have. Tag: WMI Tag: 38777

    - how to build a stand alone CEPC? - booted from Hard Disk? I followed the "How to ..." to build a CEPC booted from hard disk. Everything runs OK except the last step - Remove the boot floppy disk from the CEPC, restart the CEPC, and then verify that the OS image boots on the CEPC. The CEPC hanging there - 1 cursor blinks at the top left corner - forever! If I disable KITL and rebuilt after the change. I can find the nk.bin in RelDir\CEPC_X86Release. BUT, after download, no Release directory in CEPC. So I do not know where the nk.bin located and how to copy it to the hard disk? Tag: WMI Tag: 38770

    - Urgent - RDP protocol error in CE 4.1 Dear Greats, Already i posted one mail regarding the same below problem. We are using Windows CE Platform builder 4.1 with RDP builded. We are having ThinClient configuration. We leave the RDP connection for more than 9 minutes. Then the RDP session disconnects saying the Session is disconnected due to some protocol error. We have checked that any server side configuration is wrong. With the same server CE 4.0 client is working with our any problem. If their not inputs from Client side to Server side, session is getting closed. This is a big problem. I think, If their is not inputs (Keyboard / Mouse ) from client to server, that client side socket are some thing is getting closed. Is this a bug. can any one help me. This is very urgent.

    - driver for data acqusition board on PCI bus works in debug kernel, but not in retail kernel Hi, I have successfully wrote and built a stream interface driver that interface with my data acq. board on the PCI of a CEPC. I have been doing all the work in debug version (the driver (dll) and the test program, and the OS). I was able to get everything working. Then I rebuilt the driver in retail mode. And I also built the release version of the kernel. Then when I run my test program, which subsequently tries to open my device using: CreateFile(TEXT("DAC1:"), GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL); It failed. It gives me error code 55. I have attached the system monitor tool from eMVC, and I can see that DAC1 is one of the device on the system. I also put in debug messages in the DAC_Init() of my dll, and I can see that it gets called properly, and does all the IO and memory mapping properly. However, it seems like the problem is with CreateFile(), and somehow it thinks that the device does not exist on the system. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, btw, I'm relying on the PCIbus driver to load my board. It worked perfectly in the debug version. Just when I switch to retail version, it fails. Joseph Tag: WMI Tag: 38734

    - Problem mapping physical address (0xC0000000) on Arm Integrator hi, I posted this message before (through google) but it's seem like it's appears only on google I can't see it using my newsreader so I repost it again here it's go : I have a device with memory registers in physical address 0xc0000000, for which I am porting a driver from Linux to CE 4.2 using PB. The device is connected to the logic module stack on an Arm Integrator board running ARM920T CPU. I have tried mapping this memory into virtual address using the following: .... addr = 0xc0000000; PHYSICAL_ADDRESS mapped, port = {addr, 0}; ULONG inIoSpace = 0; PUCHAR ioPortBase; if (!TransBusAddrToVirtual(Internal, 0, port, size, &inIoSpace, &mapped)) printf("Error translating I/O Ports.\r\n"); ... Debugging into TransBusAddrToVirtual showed that the debugger was disconnected inside the call for VitualCopy (in MmMapIoSpace). The Linux driver maps (by ioremap) and uses this address successfully. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? I tried also to statically map this address by modifying OEMAddressTable (after finding out that CreateStaticMapping function isn't implemented on Arm), but couldn't access VA_TEST. ... VA_TEST EQU 0xa5000000 ;first availble after VA_SC_BASE EXPORT OEMAddressTable[DATA] OEMAddressTable ... DCD VA_TEST, 0xc0000000, 1 ... ; ; End of Table (MUST BE ZERO!) ; DCD 0, 0, 0 AFAIK, there is no need for static mapping, using TransBusAddrToVirtual should do the job for any user-mode driver. Any help will be appreciated, Ilya. Tag: WMI Tag: 38713

    - Unexpected GPEBltparms I'll throw this out to see if anyone has comments. The two arrows use for forwards and backwards in the windows explorer generate 1bpp-source blts on my 16-bpp video driver. What tripped me up was that they generate a rop4 of 0xb8b8 which is PSDPxax but the brush pointer is NULL.

    - DLL build problem hi all, I'm trying to make a DLL having a couple of methods and returning an integer value to my caller application. It should work in my Win CE.NET 4.2 device under ASP web pages. I haven't been able to make this work. Thus need help. First I used eVC++ 4.0 to create the DLL and downloaded it to my device, after which the LAN drivers mystically disappeared from my device and I was not able to test the ASP site. Additionally, the device hung after a few seconds. I also tried to reconstrct the DLL project in Platform Builder 4.2 by inserting a new empty DLL project and recreating the same files that I used in my eVC++ project. This however gave and error message like ... oleidl.idl Error PB2505: Error executing midl.exe. and I have no idea of how to fix this. It must have something to do with the .idl file, but dunno what. Please help me with one of my problems. Mike Tag: WMI Tag: 38665

    - SYSGEN_STOREMGR disappearing from environment This problem happens with both CE 4.1 and CE 4.2 We have a platform (based on Residential Gateway) that includes the Storage Manager component. When the project is first created it builds fine. At some point after the projects builds a few times the build will break being unable to find FSDMGR.LIB. This FSDMGR.LIB component requires the SYSGEN_STOREMGR environment variable to be defined. When I open a build command prompt and do a SET SYSGEN_ the STOREMGR is no long part of the defined environment. Yet, if I look at the project window the Storage Manager is listed as being included in the project. Sometimes I can just delete the Storage Manager from the project and drag it back over from the catalog, this fixes the problem for a while. Other times, it says the Storage Manager is in use and won't let me delete it. In either case if I try to define SYSGEN_STOREMGR in the Settings.../Environment dialog it says that the environment variable already set and won't let me set it. Something is clearly broken and is costing us huge in down time for our developers. Any ideas what might be happening here? Mark Moeller Tag: WMI Tag: 38655

I have tried mapping this memory into virtual address using the following: .... addr = 0xc0000000; PHYSICAL_ADDRESS mapped, port = {addr, 0}; ULONG inIoSpace = 0; PUCHAR ioPortBase; if (!TransBusAddrToVirtual(Internal, 0, port, size, &inIoSpace, &mapped)) printf("Error translating I/O Ports.\r\n"); ... Debugging into TransBusAddrToVirtual showed that the debugger was disconnected inside the call for VitualCopy (in MmMapIoSpace). The linux driver maps (by ioremap) and uses this address successfully. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? I tried also to statically map this address by modifying OEMAddressTable (after finding out that CreateStaticMapping function isn't implemented on Arm), but couldn't access VA_TEST. ... VA_TEST EQU 0xa5000000 ;first availble after VA_SC_BASE EXPORT OEMAddressTable[DATA] OEMAddressTable ... DCD VA_TEST, 0xc0000000, 1 ... ; ; End of Table (MUST BE ZERO!) ; DCD 0, 0, 0 AFAIK, there is no need for static mapping, using TransBusAddrToVirtual should do the job for any user-mode driver. Any help will be appreciated, Ilya. Tag: WMI Tag: 38648

    - How to generate CAB files that are sub-processor specific? Hi I am developing app for CE .NET 4.1 devices. How can I generate CAB files that are sub-processor specific, like I need different cab file for different sub-processors w/ a Processor family like ARM (ARMV4, ARMV4I, ARMV4T). The cab files seem to distinguish only between major processor family i.e it has only one identifier for the whole Xscale/SA. But the targets are different for different sub-processors within this family. In CE 3.0 I used to have only SA1100 BSP for devices both SA/Xscale (ipaq, toshiba e740 etc). Does that mean for CE.NET I should have a separate installer for each sub-processor. I think I missed something? Plkease provide any hints.. thanks... Tag: WMI Tag: 38638

    - CEC Editing question Hello, I understand that defining custom directory structures is handled via the .DAT file. Is it possible to specify this in a .CEC? I.e. myfile.exe should be "installed" to /Windows/MyDirectory? It seems as though most of the cec build commands are only concerned with where the files are stored during the build, not the end directory structure to install them to. Thank you, - Paul Tag: WMI Tag: 38628

    - Field test/Beta testing - replacing device driver dll What is the suggested procedure for updating a built in device driver on a target device assuming the device is not portable and far away? Of course, I am talking about replacing a single DLL, not redownloading whole operating system image with a driver. One idea which comes to my mind is to make device driver loadable by the test application with RegisterDevice, but how is it done in real life if we are talking about non-portable Windows CE devices? Is there a way to gracefully shut down the driver and instruct DM to load/initialize one section of \Drivers\BuiltIn again? Tag: WMI Tag: 38623

    - Bug in CE4.2::WaveAPI.dll? Hi all, in migrating our platform from CE3.0 -> CE4.1 -> CE4.2 I have found something very strange, I think it is in waveapi.dll When we moved to CE4.2 we noticed that all sounds were being played at full volume. The volume app in control panel would let you move the slider, but as soon as a noise was played, the slider would return to full & the sound played at full volume. After some debugging we found that the sndPlaySound call that the volume app makes was working its way into waveapi.dll. Waveapi.dll was then setting the volume to full (traced by breaking at volume set in our wavePDD driver). As a hack to confirm my suspicions I copied waveapi.dll from our WINCE410 branch & made a new image - the volume bug went away. We are still using the old (CE3) audio driver model, and would like to keep using it. Does anybody else have this problem? Our hardware is based off the Assabet reference platform, we use the UCB1300 for audio output. Cheers Brad Tag: WMI Tag: 38621

    - PB 4.2: NDIS startup problems During bootup, with a radio-based network card in the PCMCIA slot, the NDIS driver for this card fails to load. I have verified that the key shown in the ActivateDeviceEx line is definitely in the registry. I'm quite certain of this, since the driver loads and runs fine if I insert or reinsert the card after the boot sequence has completed. This seems to imply some problem with the NDIS startup sequence. Here is what I see in the Platform Builder debug window when this fails during bootup: DEVICE!ActivateDeviceEx(Drivers\PCMCIA\Lucent_Technologies-WaveLAN/IEEE-C908) entered PNP interface class {f8a6ba98-087a-43ac-a9d8-b7f13c5bae31} (NDS1:) ATTACH NDIS:ndisAddPCCardDevice INdisOpenDeviceKey failed NDIS: ERROR - NdisPCIBusDeviceInit no BusNumber for Comm\PCI\NDIS\Parms DEVICE!StartOneDriver RegisterDevice(NDS, 0, NDIS.Dll, 0x802ee6c) failed I'm guessing that it is default behavior in NDIS, that when if fails to open the registry key passed in, that it falls back to trying to see if the device might be on the PCI bus. In my case, there is no PCI bus or PCI dlls in my platform, or any Comm\PCI key in my reginit.ini. I do, however, end up with the following Comm\PCI entry in my registry after this bootup failure: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PCI\NDIS\Parms] "BusType"=dword:00000005 "IClass"="{A32942B7-920C-486b-B0E6-92A702A99B35}" "Order"=dword:00000001 "Index"=dword:00000000 "Prefix"="NDS" "Dll"="NDIS.Dll" Another confusing bit of info is the fact that the \Drivers\Active entry does show an entry for the card, but does not have a drivers\active\04 entry for NDS0:, which I see when I boot up without the card installed. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\03] "Hnd"=dword:000305a0 "Name"="COM1:" "Key"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\Serial" "InterfaceType"=dword:ffffffff [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\05] "Hnd"=dword:00031c90 "Name"="NDS1:" "Key"="Drivers\\PCMCIA\\Lucent_Technologies-WaveLAN/IEEE-C908" "Sckt"=dword:00860000 "PnpId"="Lucent_Technologies-WaveLAN/IEEE-C908" "RegenumParms"=hex(7):\ 53,63,6b,74,00,50,6e,70,49,64,00,52,65,67,65,6e,75,6d,50,61,72,6d,73,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00 "InterfaceType"=dword:00000008 I have scoured the help files to little avail. One other bit of information to note is that if the card has a \Drivers\PCMCIA\detect entry in the registry, then it will successfully load and run on bootup, but if I have to rely on a PNP id, then that same card will fail like all the others. Has anyone else seen this kind of problem where a PCMCIA network device fails on startup, but works fine on a card insert? Can anyone suggest a next step to try to get these drivers (it happens on multiple vendor's radio cards) working properly without a card insert? Arthur McNair Vocollect, Inc.

    - PCMCIA interrupt question I am confused and get lost. Hope my question is not as stupid as it seems. Each i/o pc card requests a IRQ and be assigned one. The PCMCIA bridge also assigned a IRQ. When the card has a functional interrupt, which IRQ will be set? If it is the IRQ assigned to pc card, assume Card Status Change use polling, does the PCMCIA bridge still need a IRQ? In MDD it seems all card functional interrupts are processed by IRQThread. How does it be signal when functional interrupt happens? Can anyone explain the interrupt architecture in PCMCIA for me? Please help. Li Yefei Tag: WMI Tag: 38548

    - does ce.net only support 3 serial ports? Hi everybody, Here I have a couple of questions about PB4.2 which listed below: 1.In pb4.2 I only find three serial items to add to the target:com1550;com16550(second instance);com16550(third instance),I don't know the difference between them,do they represent com port 1 to 3 of the target?if so,then does ce.net only support 3 serial ports? 2.In pb4.2 I have added all related components of activesync to the target os,but the built os can't communicate with PC via activesync(through serial port),I checked many times but can't find the reason.could anybody tell me what special attention shall I pay to add activesync to ce.net os? 3.In pb4.2 I have added 2 serial ports to the target,with the question above I don't know whether I did it properly,is there a tool to test serial port under ce.net? any reply will be appreciated Tag: WMI Tag: 38546

    - Device Driver Interrupts causing Kernel Crash Hello, I am trying to debug my custom driver's interrupts. Platform is Celeron with CE.NET 4.2, custom driver for BT878 PCI capture card. Everythings working expect interrupts... If you would please read these symptoms and let me know if this rings any bells with anyone. - Interrupts are coming in 30/sec (a video capture board) I get about 6-10 interrupts before kernel crashes. - In Release mode it always crashes in the same place (address) but unfortunately does not fall within range of anything in the nk.map - Running the kernel debugger on a debug image: I cannot catch anything because the board just hard resets when it hits the 'magic' crash time. - It seems to be related to something else starting (no interrupts conflicts, I checked) because I get interrupts for about 1-2 seconds before death. If I had to guess I would say it is sometime after all the 'Launch' key processes have started. - Waiting until everything is 'settled' (CE started) results in same behaviour. - I have determined when it crashes the actual interrupt thread is inside the 'WaitForSingleObject' function waiting on the 'InterruptInitialize' event handle. Does this sounds familiar to anyone ? Thanks, Jason nSpace Tag: WMI Tag: 38536

Ooopss a litle late, sorry

Monitor workstation, retrieve username 'logged user', list remote process,
excute app, logoff user. Wmi is very powerfull.

I found a month ago that it wasn"t supported by the compact framework :( .
Now, I'm creating my own protocols,client/server to retrieve computers
informations 'I will not implement remote exec due to security risk'.

I'm currently working on this to monitor student activities in a classrom.
This way you can see if they use any P2P app, get username, retrieve IP,
computer serial for inventory database .
