Compatibility between WinCE 4.2 and 5.0
I have tried to install WinCE 5.0 eval on my computer with 4.2 and 5.0 beta
installed. I have uninstalled the 5.0 beta and didn't manage to install the
5.0 eval. I get these errors :
"No debugger : The selected config does not have an installed debugger. You
cannot debug this config." and "No primary processors are available. The
build system will be disbaled. It is likely that a build system add-on
processor (.pkg), installed by setup, failed to load."
I have uninstalled the 4.2 but I still get the same result.
How can I erase totaly WinCE 4.2 and WinCE 5.0 from my PC without formating ??
I cannot uninstalll WinCE 5.0, the uninstaller stall.
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

USB HID Mouse Driver problem
Hello. I'm trying to use "USB HID Mouse Only" OS feature
in my embedded platform (PXA270 / WinCE 5.0).
Everything works nice except one thing: USB HID mouse
driver uses incorrect screen width: mouse pointer crosses
the screen twice while moving horizontal. However there are no
problems with vertical mouse movement!?
Actually, the problem appears when mouse HID calls
"mouse_event" API. It calls "mouse_event" with relative
movement coordinates, and there are no problems with
this. My screen resolution is 640x480, it seems that "mouse_event"
uses 800x480 or something > 640 for horizontal screen resolution.
Any ideas?

Link error to Mike Hall's driver sample.
I am trying the driver example after I read Mike Hall's aticle
<<SPOT the Geek and Windows CE Drivers>> in MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnembedded/html/embedded03042003.asp
The Driver project is compiled smoothly. Then I create a project for the
application--MyApp. It was created from a "Hello world" Project wizard.
I replaced the .cpp file with the file MyApp.cpp which Mike have given.
Next, I created a menu for this program.
But when I build it, it failed. the build output is:
---------------------------------------------------------------
MyApp.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
CommandBar_InsertMenubar referenced in function "long __cdecl WndProc(struct
HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)" (?WndProc@@YAJPAUHWND__@@IIJ@Z)
MyApp.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol CommandBar_Create
referenced in function "long __cdecl WndProc(struct HWND__ *,unsigned
int,unsigned int,long)" (?WndProc@@YAJPAUHWND__@@IIJ@Z)
XIZANGRel/MyApp.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error PB2505: Error executing link.exe.
---------------------------------------------------------------
By lookup MSDN, I found that the prototype of these two functions
CommandBar_InsertMenubar() and CommandBar_Create() are
defined in <commctrl.h>, but this header file have already been included.
So why cannot this project be built successully?
Should I add some features into my OS-image project?

WaveAPI & Device removal
Hello All,
I'm developing a waveform audio driver for PocketPc / WinCE for a removable
audio device (compactflash) and have some trouble with WaveAPI when my driver
is unloaded by the system.
When I add my hardware to the system: everything goes as expected. The PnP
identifier is determined, devicemanager loads my driver, and i receive calls
from WaveAPI:
WAV_Open
WAV_IOControl - WIDM_GETNUMDEVS
WAV_IOControl - WIDM_GETDEVCAPS
WAV_IOControl - WODM_GETNUMDEVS
WAV_IOControl - WODM_GETDEVCAPS
WAV_IOControl - WODM_GETEXTDEVCAPS
WAV_IOControl - WODM_OPEN
By now there are two WAV devices in the system (WAV1: default internal
device WAV2: newly added compactflash device). From an application i can use
both succesfully.
The trouble starts when I remove the device from the system. After the
CE_CARD_REMOVAL event, the devicemanager calls WAV_DeInit and my DLL is
detached, without WaveAPI ever calling WAV_Close. This is the point where it
goes wrong. The remaining audio device in the system (WAV1:) stops working.
WaveAPI does not seem to respond anymore.
The stupid thing is when I remove the WAV1: from the system(just for
testing), with a call to DeactivateDevice() in an application, the same thing
happens.
This test exclude my driver as being part of the problem.
Does anybody know what can cause this strange behaviour?
Thanks in anticipation,
Best Regards,

PCMCIA I82365 Memory Leak problem???
Hi,
I have some problems with the I82365 component under Windows CE 5.0. My
design is based on a embedded X86 Board with VIA Chipset and the RICOH PCMCIA
controller. So the bootloader set the ricoh controller in the I82365
compatible state and I included the following components in a standard X86
image:
PCI Bus, I82365 PCMICA PC Card Host, NE2000 compatible (PCMCIA Card)
When I build the image everything goes ok and I can start the image on the
PC. So Windows CE detects the PCMCIA Card and the card get a IP throw DHCP.
The problem is, that when I take a look under SYSTEM / MEMORY that the Use
of PROGRAM MEMORY increases every few seconds around 4-8 KByte. Windows
doesen´t give the memory back free. So when I do nothing on the PC the memory
will be full after 4-5 hours. Then I get a message that I have to increase
the program memory manually.
I get this feature ONLY, when I include the PCMCIA support. All used
components are standard Windows CE 5.0 components, no Third Party components.
Has anyone an idea, of resolving this problem???
Thank´s in advance for answering my question.

Skin does not show up in the emulator?
Hello, I´m using Platformbuilder 4.2 and I haved sucessfully compiled the
OS, when I initialize it in Platformbuilder the skin appear fine then I
apply the skinfolder in the SDK settings and build the SDK.
I load the sdk in embedded visual c, and the skin does not appear.
What can I do???
This is really strange to me, I cannot understand why, I´m going crazy, as
for every rebuild of the OS it takes like 1 hour.....
If I go to the Emulator Configurations Settings ( in Embedded visual c) the
skin is specified there, so what the heck????
Can there be any magical configuration in the platform builder that I have
to use?

sboot on pxa255 problem
I am trying to port sboot from CEPC to pxa255 BSP.
i see a dialog between my sboot an PB(4.2) but it stopes.
i performed monitoing on my serial port ( we have only one in our platform
so i disabled all debugs messages!)
i see the PB is "playng" with RTS.
why?
if i do not have the RTSin my platform is it how it will affect my program?
i configured PB for no parity 8 bit 1 stop and no flow, so why pb still uses
RTS:
IOCTL_SERIAL_CLR_RTS
IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_RTS
my boot request is:
6B 49 54 4C BB 00 24 00 31 64 46 57 34 30 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00
the response to my boot request by PB is:
6B 49 54 4C AA 20 08 00 1B 41 45 44 42 47 FF 00 00 0A
shouldn't it be DD instead of AA?
i also see that the dialog is not ordered means pb is not waiting to sboot
to finish before it sends data, is it because of the RTS? is it OK?
after that i see nothing and the download hangs.
the main question is why pb uses RTS and CTS if a config it to no hardwae
flow control?
i will appreciate any help on that

Is that possible to log the function calling history?
When my OS hangs, the callstack window out put this text:
(call stack unavailable while child is running)
So I know nothing about the context before the program thread went wrong.
My question, is it possible to log the function-calling sequence?
Since it is OK to show current callstack, I think maybe it is feasible
to log the calling sequence, so I can see what happened before the error
occured.

Is that possible to set breakpoint for changing-register?
Is that possible to set breakpoint for changing-register?
When I debug the loading process of my OS image, I found that when it
hanged,
the editor window shows that the address is 00000000, where the asm code is
???
(unknown or inaccessible ). So I suspect that something was wrong to change
the
PC (Program Count register) value to zero!
So I want to see WHO does it. Is it possible to set a breakpoint to monitor
the PC value, if it change to zero, then break. (The data breakpoint seem
for
expression in c-level). Or is there any useful method to solve this problem?

d:\mckendric\public\common\sdk\inc\kfuncs.h

Falcon MIPS vr4121 platform....
I am trying to bring a Falcon (MIPS 4121) BSP from 4.1 to 5.0.
Since the falcon is not officially supported anymore and I am normally not
doing any kernel work, I was wondering if somebody has done that before or
can help me a little with some fundamentals:-):
I read through the CE5 docu and it says "All MIPS platforms have been
migrated into one".
(no more NKMIPSIIb.lib for example).
Well - does that mean the I can use the mips NK.lib for my BSP?
Next there are tons of cool nice little libraries under
"\platform\common\lib\mipsii\"
But which ones to use for the 4121?
For example: One of the migration steps I have to do is to create the
OEMCacheRancheFlush function.
THe docu says I can simply use one form the common\libs directory ....but
which one to use?
There are
oal_cache.lib
oal_cache_mips.lib
oal_cache_mips32.lib
oal_cache_vr4131.lib (not exactly the same as my CPU but very close ... I
hope:-( )
This library confusion continues with "oal_intr...lib" and other libs...
I do have a 4.1 kernel but it does not expose all functions/methods/apis
that CE needs...
Does anybody have a good hint how I should start and what I should use?

talking about ATA driver, has anybody tried the driver with multi-PCI IDE s
?? (WinCE 4.2)
I am facing a peculiar problem here with the upper byte of every word read
from the data register being 0 (which obviously is a problem for both
Identify Data and PIO modes)..This happens only when I work with multi (have
tried it only with two) PCI-IDE s and this corruption happens only with the
pci IDE card which has a greater PCI Device number. The pci IDE card with
lesser PCI Device Number works just fine.
With one PCI - IDE device, it works fine.

experience with doing USB development with the PPC 2003? Some of the issues
of come up against is it appears from the Win CE 4.2 SDK that it only
supports host functionality while the Hp device itself and most PDA's only
have client controllers. The device enumerates fine, I was wondering how I

Version Control for Platform Builder
Hello Experts,
What are some of the effective ways to do version control with Platform
Builder? Right now I have the code under:
PLATFORM\<myplatform>
PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\ARM\INTEL\<mycommon>
Then, there comes the project, and the .cec file.
What do you think would make sense and be easy to maintain? Is there way we
can change the setting so that we can get the files from the same common
root directory?
Thanks,

WinCE hang on load symbol for serial
Any advice will be high appreciated!
I have struggle with it for several days. Another working weekend will come
:(
First, I assume that there maybe something wrong with the PDD part, eh?
Because my BSP was cloned from "lubbock" for PB4.0, and I updated it to
PB4.2,
maybe there was something changed.
But I am confused by the drvier source, XSC1_SER16550, XSC1_SerialPdd,
COM_MDD, COM_MDD2. Is there anyone so kind to give me a clue to understand
them?
I know the layered drive is divided into MDD and PDD, but why here are 4
modules?
btw, how to find the definition of SSDI between MDD and PDD for a special
driver like this serial comm-port?
I am full of gratitude to you for any help.

Priority of connection used to access Internet
I have an issue that hope to get help from someone here
and I will appreaciate that.
I am using Windows CE 4.2, I just wondering
that if both connection GPRS and WiFi are available at the

- Windows CE will use which one to access Internet?
- Could we configure the priority of connection? if yes,
how??
I am really hope some one may helping me to verify the
issue above.

Book about Platform Builder
Hi Guys,
since Windows CE 3.0 there are a lot of changes in Windows CE (5.0), but
all i can find about PB is the good ol' reference 'Building Powerful
Platforms with Windows CE'. In the time of 3.0 it gave me a lot of
informations about how PB internaly works and how to write drivers and
applications. Also under CE 4.x it was a great source although there are
several changes (e.g. creating BSPs). Now with CE 5.0 further changes came
into platform builder including a lot of changes about directory
structures and how all the files are organized. Due to the fact that i
already got 'some' experience from the 'older' OSes i'm able to came
through the new version and find everything needed. But you can't memorize
everything all the time and writing everything onto several papers (or my
own documentation about PB) isn't also the best way.
So when will there be a new book about Platform Builder??? (Maybe
'Developing Windows CE.net Devices' will be published some lovely day)
Regards,
Oliver Münchow

how to set BSP_NO variables in .cec file?
Dear gurus,
I'm using CEPB 5.0. In cec files, I set BSP_NO variable as following:
Variable( "BSP_NOUSB", )
so when I add the USB driver into my platform, I got
BSP_NOUSB=
but when I remove the USB driver from the platform, how can I get
BSP_NOUSB=1?
I know I can set BSP_NOUSB=1 in command line, .bib file, or other
places. But what I really wanted is the variable is set automatically
when I remove the driver. Can you help me? Tag: EBOOT option...... Tag: 58643
Windows CE .NET 4.1 Autodial with LAN connectivity
Hi to all the CE gurus
I'm trying to set up a CE platform that can do auto dial-up while
having a local LAN connection when the IP address cannot be resolved.
According to CE's documentation, the autodial does not try to make a
connection when there is any form of connectivity.
Unfortunately this is my situation. I have a local private LAN
(10.0.0.xxx) using fixed IP addresses for local devices, but I also
need to dial up when some third party software wants to connect to an
ISP somewhere else.
Is there anyway to set up CE 4.1 to force a connection on the modem
port?
All helps are appreciated.
Cheers

Link warning in my Device Driver
Using PB 4.2
Why Am I getting this error when my device driver (.dll) is linking?
MyDriver.dll warning LNK4060: entrypoint '__DllMainCrtStartup' is not __stdcall with 12 bytes of
arguments; image may not run
LINK : WARNING lnk4096: /base VALUE '0X100000' is invalid for Windows 95 and Windows 98; image may

I'm doing a CE device driver. How do I get rid of the above warning message.
Do I need a __DllMainCrtStartup entrypoint?
The above only happens in release. In debug, I don't get these warning errors.

What's "Native" in "native wireless LAN"?
I'm considering the benefits of migrating from 4.1 to 4.2. We have some
ethereal desire for supporting wireless LAN. I noticed that 4.1 supports

"Add Driver" catalog/BSP dependency issue
I'm using the PXA27x developer's kit (WinCE 5.0) and have cloned the
MainstoneII platform. Using the BSP wizard I've added a NDIS driver for
the LAN91C111 Ethernet controller. In the catalog, the driver seems to end
up in the right place, i.e. in the cloned BSP under "Device
Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices\LAN91C111".
Inspecting the generated cec-file entries for my added driver, these look
(as expected) very similar to the corresponding entries for the global LAN
drivers (defined in netcard.cec). I can't e.g. find any added dependencies
for my added driver.
However, when I add my added driver to my OS design, the driver ends up
with a red cross in the driver list, indicating that it will not be
included in my build. When inspecting why my driver is excluded I'm told
to add any of the following features;
- USB Flash Config Tool
- RNDIS client
- Wireless LAN (802.11) STA - Automatic Configuration and 802.1x
- USB Remote NDIS class driver
If I include one of the global LAN drivers instead, e.g. RealTek RTL8139,
I get no dependency errors (i.e. no red cross).
Since the cec-dependencies look the same, why am I getting these
dependencies for my own added BSP driver when I don't get them for a
global driver ? Where can I find (and change) these dependencies when
adding my driver to the BSP ?

Leif O

CE image for Freescale i.MX1 doesn't run user apps
We produced a CE.NET 4.2 image for the Freescale MC9328MX1ADS/B board
platform, using the "Mobile Handheld" profile of Platform Builder. The image
ran on the board and we could also run built-in CE applications like file
viewers, etc. Then we loaded our own "Hello World" app compiled with eVC++,
but it didn't run. Neither did it crash! There was no response at all when we
clicked the icon of this application. And the debugger also didn't function.
But when we use a pre-compiled CE image provided by Freescale, the same
application runs.
What is wrong with our CE image??? Tag: EBOOT option...... Tag: 58590
Direct 3D at half speed
Hi,
I have 2 platforms (CE 4.2) that run on the same hardware with the same
Direct 3D video driver. Both are release kernels.
On one platform I get about 20 fps on the other one I barely get 10 fps with
the exact same 3D app.
Anybody has a clue where this could be coming from ?

Desktop PC mainboard for Windows CE .NET 4.2
Hi all,
I was asked if desktop PC mainboards are eligible to use with Windows CE
.NET 4.2 . I made a quick research at www.microsoft.embeddedoem.com about
the supported processors and drivers and BSPs. So far as I understand if a
board has one of the supported processors and there are drivers for certain
chipsets on it (such as audio, video, LAN/WAN, serial, parallel, USB ports,
etc.) , I can use that board with Windows CE .NET 4.2. However I will
probably not get a bsp support since the configurations may vary or the oem
manufacturer may not support embedded operating systems on driver basis.
I will accept opinions about this subject. Any experiences or
recommendations are also welcome. Thanks in advance,

Kernel Tracker / CeLog issues
Hi All,
I have an issue which I've been looking for a solution for a couple of
days (CE .NET 4.2).
The problem is that Remote Kernel Tracker displays the following when
I connect to our device (Kitl stream):
"Remote Kernel Tracker detected invalid timestamps on some data while
reading from the file or connection stream. Remote Kernel Tracker has
corrected the timestamps to the best of its ability. Would you like to
continue data collection?"
It manages to get a few samples but these all seem to occur at the
same time-instance.
I've installed a patch from Microsoft which should fix a similar
problem (Timestamp error in Remote Kernel Tracker KB826381), but it
made no difference.
There also seems to be a problem with the CeLog (I've tried to compile
it and managed to get something out of it (.lib's) but it's seemed to
make no difference either). I've tried to build the OS with different
settings (such as "Flush Events To Release Directory", "Enable
Profiling" etc.) but I get no output file called celog.clg in my
release directory and I cannot connect using Remote Kernel Tracker.
"CeLogFlush.exe" is present on the device and in the Registry/Init but
I cannot se it in the active processes after I start.
Could there be a problem in CeLog which results in no log/Remote
Kernel Tracker not working? Anyone got any ideas on what it could be?
What are the CeLog dependencies which could give these errors (Timers
or...)? What can I do to test if CeLog is working properly?
Best Regards,
Henrik Tag: EBOOT option...... Tag: 58586
