    - ActiveSync through USB in WinCE 5.0 ?? Hi, I use Samsung S3C2410 CPU. I am trying to use ActiveSync over USB in WinCE 5.0, but it failed. I think I should use the "serial client" instead of "RNDIS client". Right ? Should I set DefaultClientDriver to "serial client" or "RNDIS client" if I want to use ActiveSync? When I use RNDIS client, PC pops up a dialog to ask me to install the driver. However, When I use serial client, PC does not pop up the dialog to ask me to install the driver. The following is my registry setting for serial client. Thanks.

    - CE4.2 - System crash on Event/Mutex creation Hi everyone, Problem description > We use windows Ce 4.2 on a PXA255 platform with 64MByte SDRAM and 64MB Flash. > We have an application that creates named events or mutexes without releasing/closing them. > After a while the system totally crashes when the 65536th handle is being created. > The crash = system hangs without generating exceptions (Nothing appears on the debug output to indicate a crash or exception) > Here is a code sample that easily makes the system crash!!! (Crash ocurs each time when counter reaches exactly 65536) DWORD dwCounter = 0; HANDLE hEvent; while(TRUE) { RETAILMSG(1,(TEXT("Creating event %d\r\n"),dwCounter++)); hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,TEXT("MY_EVENT_TEST")); if(hEvent != NULL) { SetEvent(hEvent); } else RETAILMSG(1,(TEXT("Failed to createEvent - error = %d\r\n"),GetLastError())); } Questions : 1) Why does this "CreateEvent" or "CreateMutex" function not return an errorcode or an exception? (i.e. ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY) 2) Why does the kernel not prevent such a crash? 3) Are there QFE packs available that solve this problem? 4) Can we change something in the kernel/hal to intercept or to prevent this crash? 5) Can this problem be generated by an unexpected WORD (counter) overflow in the kernel? (65536 = 0x10000) Thanks for all your support, Peter. Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60921

    - Very slow system dialogs Hello, I'm using Windows CE 5.0 with a SH4 (SH7760) processor. We are using the internal LCD controller of the SH7760. So we don't have a separate hardware acceleration. This mean the Windows CE uses the emulation libraries which are delivered with the Platform Builder. The system works fine but some system dialogs such as the system applet of the control panel the dialog are shown very slow. Example. I open the system applet in the control panel. If I change from the general tab to the device name tab then the edit controls with the device name and the description are shown very fast. Then there is a delay time from about 1 second. Then the static text information are shown. Then there is a delay time again before the lines are shown on the sreen. Does anyone see this problem too ? Have anyone a suggestion what causes this problem ? Thank you for your answers in advance. Regards, Ruediger Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60919

    - Problem about Waveform Audio Functions? Hi, Now I am developing a record&play program. I have read the sample codes in wince.net 4.2. I can use sample codes wavrec to record a wave file and I can use media player to play it. But I can't use wavplay playing it. Does the media player not use the Waveform Audio Functions playing it ? The wave file information is "wavrec.wav" S16 44100Hz 1764000 bytes 10000 ms. It was recorded by wavrec . Help! Fred Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60916

    - Adding drivers from third party device drivers to OS Design View Hi all, This querry is pertaining to addition of drivers from Third Party device drivers in catalog to OS Design View. I do not see all the device drivers which I add from Third Pary to OS Design.. Say for example, if third party has 3 drivers namely PCIBUS, AUDIO and USB. Now it so happens that if I add PCIBUS , the same is shown in OS Design under the BSP we have created. If I add USB , the same replaces PCIBUS. Furthermore, addition of AUDIO driver replaces USB. Eventually I see only one driver inspite of adding all the drivers from device drivers under Third Party. Any suggestion on this would be appreciated.

    - IP phone & USB keyboard Hi, Is there any conflict between USB keyboard and IP phone configuration in CE 4.2? I build a IP Phone Advanced configuration on a Cirrus EP9315 platform. But I can't enter any password at the PIN screen. I can used the USB mouse to move the cursor around. So the USB host and HID must be OK. And at KITL, I can see the kbdhid.dll loaded when I plug in the keyboard. Also, I tested the USB keyboard and the keyboard driver in other configurations and they worked fine. I don't know what have I done wrong then. Thanks for your help! Derek Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60907

    - Installing Device-Compatible Programs with ACTIVESYNC Finally I've made my WCE Image connect with my Workstation with ACTIVESYNC. It was tricky but I got it. Now I'm trying to synchronize my device with desktop PC like a final user would do. I tried to install Pocket PC Acrobat Reader with MS ActiveSync, however after the "retrieving application data from device" it says THERE ARE NO DEVICE-COMPATIBLE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. Why it says Acrobat isn't device-compatible? Is there some lack of registry configuration? Or the program isn't compatible with my hardware. My machine consist of: Embedded PC x86 - Via Eden 700Mhz I've included in my Image TRANSPORT / ACTIVE SYNC APPLICATIONS - END USER / ACTIVE SYNC / FILE SYNC Is there some more configuration to do?

    - MTU size change... I need to change the MTU size on CE v3.0 as well as CE v4.2. I've been looking thru the docs and can't seem to find anywhere that the MTU size can be set for a given adapter or the IP stack itself. I was hoping that simple registry change might do the trick, but have't been able to find it in the existing docs. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or perhaps even know if/what to change? ----------- Joe Cossette Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60900

    - Where are COMMON DLL's placed? Hi All, if i modify code in COMMON directory (i know i shouldnt, but all i did was some RETAILMSG 's ) i have to do deptree build right? it takes about an 30-45 minutes... 2 much now, is there is a way around it? u know like if u modify a driver, all u have to do from command line is to go that driver directory, set wincerel=1 and then build, and then makeimage and ur changed are there... where do the DLL/.OBJ files from the COMMON area placed? can i just compile the sample driver that i change and then copy it to my platform? thanks Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60897

    - [Found !] Perf. issue with SMDK2410 AND 5.0 , but ... As I mentionned in a previous thread, I was wondering why the performance using CE 5.0 on SMDK2410 eval board was almost two times slower than 4.2 . I finally found a trick to make it work properly . All the basic hardware initialization is done by EBOOT.BIN . Then it jumps to StartUp routine, which does nothing else than launching KernelStart . It appears that the assembler code to make the bus acting in Asynchronous Mode has to be done a second time just before calling KernelStart ! I didn't find any information related to this in the Samsung databook. I've tried to make the switching to this bus mode in a different order in EBOOT, but it change nothing .... So far, my problem is solved, but I'd like to understand the REAL reason for this cheat ??! Yves. Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60882

    - issue with ATAPI driver in 5.0 hi guys, i am trying to migrate the atapi driver from 4.2 to 5.0. While the code works fine in 4.2, in 5.0 for hard disks from samsung, Identify command is failing. Though the same hard disk works fine in 4.2, and there 's this seagate hard disk which works fine in both 4.2 and 5.0. further, the same samsung disk works when i try to configure as slave (either single, or along with another disk as master). If i try with the 2 samsung HDs configured as master and slave, then again, the master does not respond to identify device, but the slave does. anybody has observed this kind of behaviour ? or anybody knows what could be the possbile reason ? i have attached the message dump with ATAPI zones enabled (with just the samsung HD configured as the master and no slave, no secondary port. ). -- cheers, Joseph Garibaldi.

    - USB for serial device Hello. I am new to USB so please bear with me. I am working on a product based on the Advantech SBC PCM-3350. This is a 300 MHZ Geode based SBC with two serial ports, two USB 1.0 ports, a printer port and some other ports. I am currently using both serial ports for peripherals in our current application. I have been given the requirement to utilize the USB port for another serial device. The serial device is a GPS device that provides position data in a serial stream. I plan to use a RS232 to USB cable and plug this into the USB connector on the board. The manufacturer of the cable does not provide a CE.NET driver. I am using Platform Builder for CE.NET 4.2. I have enabled the USB port. What is the best way to handle this problem? Do I have to develop a stream driver for this or is there support already in CE.NET 4.2 that makes the USB another COM port?

    - FlashFX vs. IPSM vs. FMD opinions needed Given the levels of expertise in this group, I'll preface this with my usual warning that I'm pretty new at Platform Builder ... I'm currently running CE 4.1 on an SA1110 (ARMv4) platform with a J3 StrataFlash. We now use IPSM 3.53 and the WriteRegistryToOEM/ReadRegistryToOEM method of registry persistence. We may migrate to CE 4.2. 1. Does anyone know of any benefits or drawbacks of changing to FlashFX (or FlashFXPro)? We've had problems that may be related to IPSM. - Intermittent registry corruption: possibly due to IPSM since we use the WriteRegistryToOEM / ReadRegistryToOEM functionality. Intel recommends against this for CE 4.x and we have now been told that this functionality was not tested on 4.x. We will be converting to a hive-based registry persistence model to hopefully resolve this. - Possible program loader defect.We had several different intermittent CPU exceptions that were 'resolved' without definitively identifying the causes. The jury is still out on whether the real cause may be the program loader defect that others have reported when working with large, multi-module applications that are loaded into RAM via IPSM at runtime. 2. Given that we currently do no XIP, does anyone know of any drawbacks to instead using the flash block driver supplied with CE 4.2? I have read that Microsoft's driver may not be as tried and true as FlashFX. FlashFXPro also advertises higher performance, due in part to multithreading. It's hard to say how much weight to place on these statements. A demo of FlashFX is available but I believe it only allows evaluation of a 1MB partition, which prevents me from really testing our application on it. Plus, it would take a bit of labor for me to figure out how to replace our current file system in order to do the test. I appreciate you taking the time to read this! -Vic Yuschuk Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60793

    - Is static mapping for shared interrupt safe? Hi, All I know loadable ISR is the solution to shared interrupt. But I am curious if static mapping for shared interrupt also workable? What I have done is using OALIntrStaticTranslate() to map 2 SysIntr to the same IRQ. And in OEMInterruptHandler() I return corresponding SysIntr according to the interrupt status register. It seems working for me, but I am not sure if there is any potential problem for doing this, because in this way, kernel can only get IRQ from SysIntr but not the other way, one of the SysIntr will be overwritten in the global IRQ table, isnt it?

    - Only show mouse cursor when mouse present Hi all, I am working on a PXA255 platform, running CE 4.2. Under normal conditions only a touch screen is used for input. We have a USB OTG controller, I can add support for a USB mouse but I cannot get the right behaviour for the cursor. When SYSGEN_CURSOR is not set, the mouse is unusable for lack of a cursor (duh). When SYSGEN_CURSOR is set, the cursor is shown and the mouse works just the way I want it to. When I unplug the mouse, the cursor will hide but will keep coming back whenever I tap somewhere (not anywhere, but for example in the taskbar). I want the cursor to show up ONLY when a mouse is plugged in. I don't think there is a build variable or registry setting to get this right (if there is, let me know!). So I suppose I will have to look in the source code. I'm sure I can determine when the mouse is plugged in and out, but it would be great if anyone could tell me where I can enable and disable the cursor. I haven't found a solution anywhere, except the suggestion that any application can decide not to show the cursor by handling a certain WM message (if I remember it well). This is not what I want, I want to enable and disable the cursor for the whole system. Thanks in advance, Piet Tag: Configuration of COM port Tag: 60770

It's in the registry for each driver entry. HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/Serial for

Thank u very much,so OS will transfer all parameters(such as base address and
IRQ's) and device driver writers and application developers have to get these
parameters from registry...

isn't it?
