    - Question about Virtual memory limitations in WinCE Hi, While I was going through the code for the bootloader, it was mentioned that the virtual memory cannot be more than 512MB. Is this limitation because of winCE, which can handle only a maximum of 512MB physical memory. Or does it have any other reason? If we have to increase this limit, is there any possible way to do it.

    - invalid handle returned from SD API Hi, I am trying to develop a SDIO device driver using Evc++. The target device is an imate PPC. I am not using platform builder, as i am not to use a development board, but just write a driver for the PPC device which has an OS already. My device has an SDBusdriver.dll So i am thinking that i should develop a host controller driver and a client driver. Initially i am doing an SD card Client Driver and will try to modify it from there.( Dont know if this is a good way to proceed) I am currently modifying the registry in the HKLM/Drivers/...../SDMemory_Class to replace the existing sdmemory.dll client driver with my own SD card driver called MySD.dll. I encountered the following problem in my driver code. in the xxx_init, i have called the SDGetDeviceHandle(param1,param2) API. I get the HKLM/...../SDMemory_Class path in the param2 variable and got a value for the handle returned by the API. I used the Remote tools from EVC++ and in remote registry editor i checked the active list of drivers. It showed one subkey as 'Hnd' and onemore subkey as 'ClientInfo'. The handle value got from the API is the same as the value in ClientInfo and not the one in Hnd.I expected the value to be the one in 'Hnd' and not the one in 'ClientInfo'. Is this a problem? if so how to correct it? Next, i called the SDRegisterClient(...) API with the handle returned by the SDGetDeviceHandle API as one of the parameters to SDRegisterClient. But this is causing an error, and the error code is 0xC0000006. I understand that this status implies an INVALID HANDLE. However, since the SDGetDeviceHandle API returned me the correct registry path, i think the handle must also be correct. I cant understand why the handle is invalid. I hope someone can help me out on this one. Thanks, Nag Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86299

    - Bad response from PB to serial BOOTME request We're trying to implement a CE 5.0 serial bootloader for an ARM7-based target (we have no Ethernet and no USB). When trying to connect with PB, the target is reporting "received non-download packet type". A dump of the the received packet shows that the pktType field is 0xAA (KS_PKT_KITL). This is not one of the 3 packet types that RecvPacket() is expecting. All PB is doing is spitting out the following messages: The Kernel Debugger is waiting to connect with target. The Kernel Debugger has been disconnected successfully. What going on? Thanks, Scott Background info: Target CPU is an ARM7 in a custom ASIC. We are currently loading the code through a JTAG debugger. There is currently no way to flash the code on the board right now. The current target is a temporary interim device until our real target board is available. We've modified the CEPC SBOOT code to work with our hardware and have verified that the serial send and receive functions work. Debug messages (EdbgOutputDebugString(), etc.) are being routed throught the ARM7 DCC port using the semihosting support in our debugger. We're at the step where we're told to simply "Download the Eboot.bin file." Nowhere are we told how to accomplish this -- apparently newbies are just supposed to "magically know" how to do all of these things. We're assuming that PB's Target->Attach Device is the correct thing to do. PB's Target->Connectivity Options are set to Download=Serial, Transport=Serial, Debugger=KdStud (it defaulted that way and we haven't changed it). The serial settings for both Download and Transport match what our target is doing. The instructions so far have said to build the bootloader code using "build -c" command line. I've created a dummy project in PB using our platform that we created by cloning (since PB's Target->Attach Device menu item is grayed out unless you have a project open). Since there doesn't appear to be any way to change the location or name of the file being downloaded, we copied and renamed the test .bin file produced by "build -c" to the place PB wants to find it. The project has not been built since it won't (we're not that far along yet -- still trying to get the bootloader working).

    - Launch address of image Is the launch (start) address stored anywhere inside the image? I can derive things like physical start address an and size from the info in the stored image's TOC but I can't find where the launch address is stored.

    - How to disable Wireless Zero Config On our WinCE 5.0 platform, we have a PCMCIA (actually CF) Prism2-based WiFi card. The built-in ISLP2 driver works fine with WZC, but we have our own WiFi connection manager that we would prefer to use. But if I disable WZC by unchecking its "Use Windows to configure my wireless settings" checkbox, my card doesn't seem to associate with AP's or get an IP, even though NDIS calls seem to indicate that I *am* associated nicely. If I enable WCZ, let it perform an initial association, and then disable it, then everything is good and my own wireless manager can happily associate and disssociate with AP's. Ideally, I would love to to totally remove WZC. But if I can't, then I would like it to be totally invisibile and unobtrusive. Is there a way to achieve this? -KB Tag: Compact Flash block size?

    - CESH/Remote Tools and Account Permissions Hi, My Windows account is not an administrator, but rather a user. When I try to run any of the remote tools (remote registry editor for example) I get the following error: "The CESH Server for Windows CE reported the following error: Unable to establish a connection with the device. Please check server configuration settings." The error does not occur if I log into my machine using the administrator account. So I assume it is a permissions/privilege problem. Does anyone know what permissions/privileges need to change in order for the remote tools to work? I'm using CE5. Thanks, Chris P.S. Please don't just tell me to run as admin...that's a lame solution and should not be necessary. Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86236

    - Viewing the catalog database In my \WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\CATALOG\DATABASE directory I have two databases: pbdb.mdb and base_pddb.mdb. I assume that they contain the various list of SYSGEN's and corresponding descriptions. I would like to compile a list of these descriptions, but I can't open the database because it's password protected. (I don't know why it needs a password, but that's not the point of my post.) I can get a SYSGEN list from a command prompt, and I can get a list of component descriptions from the platform .log file, but there's nowhere that I can think of where I can get a list of corresponding SYSGEN's *and* their descriptions. Could someone who knows the DB password please email it to me? Or send me a way to extract the data from the DB? It would be much appreciated, and I would feel better about doing it this way than using one of the many Access password "recovery" tools out there. Best regards, Dan. Tag: Compact Flash block size?

    - Network issue windows CE 4.2 We have a custom platform very closely related to CEPC that has been in production and working well for some time now. It uses CE 4.2 and has QFEs up to and including Dec '05 applied. What we have discovered in our lab is that if the system is left idle for a long period of time (probably greater than one day) network connectivity is lost. Under the failure mode we can still "ping" the system but we are unable to use FTP or connect any of the TCP/IP devices that are peripheral to the main system. Note that even during the idle time our networked peripherals use a "keep alive" to test for the presence of the server. Also, in the failure mode the peripheral devices eventually (by design) attempt to BootP to resolve their loss of connectivity and this BootP also fails. The BootP server is on the CE device. Has anyone else experienced this or a similar issue? Sid. Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86185

    - CETK Ellipse/RoundRect Has anyone had problems and resolved them in the CETK gdiapi tests for Ellipse (205) and RoundRect(215) in CE 5.0 ? I know they accept a percentage error, but I thought that if EmulateLine drew both copies, they would always be the same. My pxa255-based 5-6-5 16-bpp driver is failing about every third time on ~4 pixels which is above the .005% error for quater vga. Like I said, I thought the internal EmuldateLine would draw the exact same circle for my driver and ddi_test, but that evidently isn't true, but I can't seem to figure out why.

    - .net CE vs WM determination Perhaps this is a question for another group, but I'll start here. I have a CE 5.0 based unit which I was trying out the sample .net cf v2.0 solution, sliderpuzzle, which MS has out on the .NET CF site. When I compiled and deployed, I selected PocketPC 2003 as my system to deploy to and it used the activesync connection to put down the project files (the .exe and .jpeg needed for the project) and then put down system_SR_enu_wm.cab into \windows and tried to install the .cab file. Problem is the _wm .cab file is evidently for windows mobile. There was a non-_wm version which I manually copied to the unit and installed fine. Once the file was installed, VS2005 didn't try to reinstall it, and therefore the deployment worked with zero errors. What I'd like to know is how to get VS2005 to choose the correct file in the first place. Its not a windows mobile device and I didn't choose a windows mobile device to deploy to (at least it wasn't labeled that). I didn't see any options in VS2005, but I also didn't have a specific SDK for this device loaded. Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86158

    - Bug in physmem.c? Hello experts This is not an easy one... My system crashes and I found that this is due to an error in physmem.c. Maybe someone can confirm this to be a bug or someone can tell me what am I doing wrong. My system has RAM from 0x30000000 to 0x31000000 and from 0x40000000 to 0x41000000. GetContiguousPages gets called with parameters (1,0,0) and as a result in pfi it gets the following values: pfi->paStart = 0x31000000 pfi->paEnd = 0x31000000 pfi->paRealEnd = 0x31000000 pfi->pUseMap = 0x81000000 This leads to ixTotal = 0. There is no memory at 0x31000000, so this may be correct, but the following loop for (ixStart = 0; ixStart <= (ixTotal - dwPages); ) { is now an endless loop (with dwPages=1), because all variables are declared as uint!!! The next thing I see is that when ixStart=0x7ff, the loop calls Phys2Virt with an address of 0x317ff000, which gives NULL, because this is not a valid address. Anyway GetContiguousPages doesn't test the result for NULL and calls KCall with this invalid address. The system halts and KCall doesn't come back!

    - ILTiming on CEPC HI all, I'm a newbie in Win CE field. I had gone thru PB 5.0 tut and created a run time image for a CEPC successfully. I am able to download it to the target device as well. Now I want to run the "ILTiming" for measuring the interrupt latencies. I went thru the help which talks about the OAL layer modifications to be done. I could not get these details. Please giude me for the same. I'll be very thankfull to you, for your time. P.S. - Its very important for me. Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86117

    - Daylight Savings Time in 2007 not working I am in the process of modifying the registry to test out the daylight savings time changes for 2007 on a CE5.0 device, and have come across a bit of a snag. The functionality doesnâ??t appear to work correctly unless you have the wDay set to either 1 or 5 (i.e. first or last) in the TZI structure. Which means that entering in to Daylight savings time will not be handled correctly. Further digging showed that DST_DetermineChangeDate function in \PRIVATE\SERVERS\TIMESVC2\DST\dst.cpp only supports FIRST_OF_MONTH and LAST_OF_MONTH. So unfortunately, it looks to me like dst.cpp will need to be changed to account for the DaylightDate of the second Sunday in March. Iâ??m hoping this will come in the way of a QFE, but just wanted to let people know that if they are going to try to implement this now for future deployment, it does not work correctly. Unless, of course, I am doing something wrong here. Cam Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86109

    - Windows Mobile OAL development problem Can anyone tell me if there's a relevent newsgroup or mailing list for discussing OAL issues relevent to Windows Mobile builds as opposed to CE? I've got a BSP that we're developing in parallel on CE5 and WM5(AKU2.5) where the OAL suspend behaves differently on both builds from the same source - I've got a couple of ideas for debugging but am not sure if I can do them within the WM build environment and wanted to run them past someone.

    - XIP not working Hello, I'm working on XIP on a Mainstone II-like board. It has 32MB of Strataflash NOR FLASH memory and 64MB of RAM. The Windows CE 5.0 image was designed to create a sort of PDA (LCD, touch, bluetooth..) Here you can find 3 different image boot configurations. Config number 3 (XIP) does not work. 1) If I create an image for RAM execution, my CONFIG:BIB contains: NK 80100000 03000000 RAMIMAGE RAM 83100000 00F00000 RAM AUTOSIZE=ON (no ROMOFFSET) The bootloader reports ImageStart = 8010_0000 and Start Address = 8010_1000 The image downloads via LAN to RAM and runs ok. 2) If I create an image for RAM execution and FLASH storage: NK 80100000 03000000 RAMIMAGE RAM 83100000 00F00000 RAM AUTOSIZE=ON ROMOFFSET=3C980000 The bootloader reports ImageStart = BCA8_0000 and Start Address = BCA8_1000 The image downloads via LAN to RAM and FLASHes ok. It runs ok, after a copy from FLASH to RAM and a launch to the RAM Start address. 3) If I create an image for FLASH execution (XIP): NK BCA80000 01F00000 RAMIMAGE RAM 80100000 03F00000 RAM AUTOSIZE = OFF (no ROMOFFSET) The bootloader reports ImageStart = BCA8_0000 and Start Address = BCA8_1000 The image downloads from the LAN to RAM and FLASHes ok. **** It hangs after the launch to BCA8_1000, without any debug message! So, the questions: - Are my CONFIG.BIB settings OK? - Is modifying the CONFIG.BIB enough for having XIP? - Are there Memory controller settings that can alter XIP execution? Thank you in advance, Panino Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86092

    - Memory map in smdk - 2410 booloader Hi Everybody, I was going through the code of bootloader for smdk - 2410. In the startup.S file, ########################################## 20 add r11, pc, #g_oalAddressTable - (. + 8) ldr r10, =PTs ; (r10) = 1st level page table ########################################## The above piece of code, physical memory from 0x30000000 is being mapped to 0x80000000. Later in the same file, memory is being direct mapped from 0x30000000 to 0x30000000. The code for this is shown below. ############################################# ; Comment: ; The following loop is to direct map RAM VA == PA. i.e. ; VA == 0x30XXXXXX => PA == 0x30XXXXXX for S3C2400 ; Fill in 8 entries to have a direct mapping for DRAM ; ldr r10, =PTs ; restore address of 1st level page table ldr r0, =PHYBASE add r10, r10, #(0x3000 / 4) ; (r10) = ptr to 1st PTE for 0x30000000 ################################################ What is the need for this second memory mapping? In the same startup.s file it was mentioned that the virtual memory can be of 512 MB. Why is this constraint for virtual memory? Any leads in this regard whould be great help. Thanks in Advance, Naveen Atmakuri. Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86090

    - TCP/IP via Bluetooth in WinCE500 Hello, we are using a Kontron ETX P3T x86 System mit Windows CE 5.0. To get a TCP/IP connection between this system and a Pocket PC running we tried to use an USB Bluetooth Adapter with Ethernet profile but didn't get this thing running. Because the WinCE system is usually used without monitor and keyboard attached the Pocket PC should be able to connect to our WinCE system and establish a TPC/IP connection. We added the Microsoft Bluetooth stack from the Platform builder and got the Linksys USB Bluetooth adapter running so that the Pocket PC can find the device with its given name. The problem is that everytime the Pocket PC (or any other Bluetooth client) tries to connect to the WinCE box the connnection fails with the message that no services are available. Does anyone got a TCP/IP connection running and can give me a hint how to get this profile/service running? Thanks in advance. Gunnar Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86089

    - Bootloader for Da Vinci hi, I am currently into the development of wince 5.0 bootloader for da vinci processor.But since i am not using the platform builder i used all the including the EBOOT files from wince500.I am using the CCS(Code composer studio) to load my file into the ram In this case i sucessfully initialize the uart and emac controller also i am allocating static ip to the board.Now during the single stepping mode I send the bootme packet ,in my platform builder on host PC i am able to recognise the target device but thats all, after that I am stuck and not able to established the TFTP link and just be inside the loop.when i see the memory location of my buffer where data from net occurs i see that the data is not for my IP and thsi msg i always get. Can anybody help me in the sense that I want kn ow if there is any activity from platform builder side when it recognises the bootme packet and get to know the device on the net,this i need to know because when i see into ethereal i cannot see any data comming from the platform builder PC Please help me into this as I cannot proceed any further.

    - USB-WiFi Device not recognized!!! Hi All, I purchased LinkSys WUSB54G from LinkSys to use in our project but WinCE 5.0 didn't recognize it. I added Wireless LAN(802.11) STA- Automatic Configuration, Native Wi-Fi WLAN AP components, and STA from Platform Builder. And since linksys is a division of Cisco i thought winCE would automatically load the driver.(http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/ce/drivers/supdrivers/default.aspx#WLAN). What i am doing wrong? What should i do to make WinCE recognize this device? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.. Tag: Compact Flash block size? Tag: 86082

    - RAS server and network connectivity problems I have a network device I configured to support RAS incoming server. The device is configured for Direct Serial connections. It has a network adapter configured for DHCP. Upon starting the device it connects to the network successfully and starts the RAS server configured for Direct Serial. I then connect my PC to the device using a serial cable. I am able to connect from my PC to the device successfully. However, when I start my device without the network cable attached I find I am unable to connect from my PC to the device sucessfully via serial cable. I am able to see that the RAS server is started and successfully configured. Is this a feature of the RAS server or is there some underlying problem with my BSP? Thanks Tag: Compact Flash block size?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get the physical flash block size from a Compact
Flash card?
Without knowing the card manufacturer/flash/controller (etc) is there any
way of enquiring this information from the card?

Many thanks,
Gordon.

you can get it through getting the contents of structure "CE_VOLUME_INFO"

Thanks,
But from what I can see that would return the format allocation size rather
that the physical FLASH block size.

What I want to achieve is a format utility which aligns the media allocation
units to the physical FLASH blocks, it should result in a significant write
speed increase, and a reduction in FLASH weare.
