    - PCI device is not loaded after warm-boot Hi, I am working on NS/Geode platform. In WinCE.NET 4.2, I got the NIC device not loaded after a warm-boot; while it is OK in WinCE.NET 4.0. After tracking, I found the devices under PCI\Template were all failed, but it works after changing the registry key(NoConfig) from 0 to 1. I just wonder how we decided to use NoConfig=0 or 1. That is, under which situation we should set NoConfig=0 ? And when we should set NoConfig=1 ? Please advise. Tag: Help! Cursor won't go away. Tag: 50427

    - how to specify the location of a file on the device Hi, I want to download the Provisioning.xml file to \Windows directory on my target device. I add this file to the platform in PB4.2 after i build an image with the target BSP. How do i specify that the file should finally reside in the \Windows directory rather than the release directory when the image downloads. Please guide. Thanks, Annie Tag: Help! Cursor won't go away.

    - Entering PXA255 sleep mode Hi all We have a custom platform that uses thel PXA255 processor. I'm working on implementing power management and I'm presently stumped with intermittent problems in putting the processor to sleep and waking it up again. The process that I'm using is loosely based on the XSC1BD sample. OEMPowerOff gets called and 60-70% of the time, the processor goes to sleep just fine and I can subsequently wake it up. The rest of the time, the code runs down to the point where the PWRMODE register gets written to force the processor to sleep and then the code gets stuck in the "shouldn't get here" loop (I determined this by a toggling a GPIO in the loop) I've checked the errata for the PXA and evidently it's possible to get indeterminate behavior on the GPIO during sleep if the PXBus frequency is set above 133MHz - our pxbus freq is 99.5 MHz. I thought perhaps I was getting an Imprecise Data Abort so I've made sure that the IDAE is clear.. Does anyone have a suggestion? I've been beating my head against this one for awhile Thank Tag: Help! Cursor won't go away. Tag: 50420

    - What's the best way to keep PB up to date? I'm a bit confused by the way that QFE's are published. The web page I have been checking: http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/downloads/ce.net/wince/default.aspx has no new updates for CE.NET 4.2. However, I have read about newer QFE's and found them on the Microsoft site by searching. What's the best way to keep up on the updates, QFE's, new help files, etc? -- Frank D.

    - APP Still running after Cmd window close PB4.20 PCI Device Driver. I have a Window Console program (i/o loopback) running in the Command Prompt. When I close the Command Prompt, the loopback program is still running. Why is that? How would the loopback program know that the Command Prompt window is closed? Or why doesn't CE call the XXX_Close so that the driver can invalidate the HANDLE to that device causing the loopback program to exit due to a bad device handle? Because of this feature, if I start the another loopback program in another Command Prompt, the loopback program returns an error (Device Busy) because the previous loopback program is still running.

    - CETK in CE 4.2 Hi, In Windows CE .NET Test Kit window for CE 4.2, there are some red lines for some test. For example, Serial Port. This is for serial port driver test and it is a simple test. Even no serial cable is needed. We usually can do this test in CE 4.0. But now all test cases failed. I am wondering if the red line means we can not do the test. Thank you very much in advance.

    - NK Kernel Exception Hi all, I have developed a kind of TCP/IP server in Windows CE.NET 4.2. No we are running "stress" tests over the platform just to assure the correct working of the device. However, during these tests, I have recently faced the following exception in my system: [PID:a7a4bb7a TID:c772ccda 0x879c1800] NK Kernel: DEBUGCHK failed in file d:\mckendric\private\winceos\coreos\nk\kernel\nknormal\..\schedule.c at line 316 Exception 00e Thread=879c1800 Proc=a7a4bb7a 'gwes.exe' AKY=00000211 PC=802415af ESP=143bfa44 EA=00000088 I was connected to the device via Platform Builder using the Ethernet port of the device. So I could see the "Call Stack" that had lead to the exception. The problem is that it seemed that the exception had been originated by a call to PeekMessage() function. > My program creates a pair of threads for each connection that receives. > The test is constantly creating and closing connections. > The source code for each client thread is as follows: DWORD WINAPI ConnectionThreadPseudoCode ( LPVOID pParms ) { MSG stMsg; PeekMessage ( &stMsg, (HWND) INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE ); // // Rest of the thread body // } > I just call PeekMessage() at the beginning of the thread's execution, to create the thread's message queue. The source code of the exception part in schedule.c is the following: void AddHandleToList (HANDLE *phList, HANDLE hObj, DWORD dwType) { [...] EnterCriticalSection (&NameCS); if (lpe->hNext = *phList) { LPEVENT lpeNext = (LPEVENT) GetObjectPtrByType (lpe->hNext, dwType); DEBUGCHK (lpeNext); <--- this is the line that gives me the exception in NK lpeNext->hPrev = hObj; } *phList = hObj; LeaveCriticalSection (&NameCS); } Any suggestions on this problem?

    - Build in evc4, debug in PB 4.2 - How? I've read past posts on this but not found any concrete examples to help. The scenario: I have a complex evc4 workspace (24 inter-dependent projects - dlls/exes + dll driver), I'd like to be able to keep building it in evc4 but to be able to debug in platform builder when needed. This is working to a limited extent. I have added project.bib entries to lift my dlls/exe direct from the evc4 debug directories. I've added project.reg entries to get my driver loaded. I build evc4, make image in pb4.2, download and connect. Questions: 1. Whenever my CEPC runs one of my EXEs, PB always asks for the local EXE location (so it can display the source files when it breaks). Can I stop it asking somehow? i.e. tell it where to find them all in advance. I've tried Tools->Options->Directories->EXEs but that was a long shot. 2. Breakpoints - how can I set breakpoints (it doesn't know the source is part of the project)? Is there an equivalent to the MSVC "Additional DLLs" concept to make PB42 aware of the source code I wish to debug? Adding "int 3"s would I suppose work but is obviously not ideal. As you can see, I am trying to avoid having to maintain two workspaces (one in evc and PB). Thanks in advance, Martin Tag: Help! Cursor won't go away. Tag: 50387

    - Localization G'day All, I have a question regarding localization of a WinCE 4.2 platform. We are developing a WinCE platform where installed applications will not be using any of the standard Windows Interfaces (eg Shell, file open close etc), applications will manage all interfaces. The installed application will need to support multiple lanaguages so we need to provide full font support etc. Most likely a seperate build of the application will be done for each target language. My question is: Do we need to include all the target locales in this situation? I looks like these just provide language translation of Standard Shell UI and System Apps etc? Phil Tag: Help!

I measured the analog audio output signals, playing the same .wav file by two ways. In MediaPlayer, the signal was smooth. But, in PlaySound API, it was like staircase.

    - SDIO hardware attachment driver/software I am in process of designing a piece of hardware attachment to be used with an iPaq PocketPC through its SD slot. The hardware will follow SD IO specifications. I want this hardware to look as a bank of 4 8-bit read/write registers. Applications using this hardware control it by reading and writing these registers. An interrupt service routine will be a big plus. I really appreciate it if you can point me to the right direction. I have googled around and searched Microsoft site with not much success. Here are few questions if you enlighten me please. 1- Is it neccessary to write a driver to access this device? Is it possible for the application to use low level drivers already in the iPaq to access the SD slot without the need for a dedicated driver? 1- What is the appropriate software tool to create a driver to access a SD IO device attached to SD slot of an iPaq? 2- If Platform Builder is the right tool, where do you get it? In Microsoft site I can find articles mentioning the Platform Builder, but I cannot find a product named Platform Builder. Did they change the name? 3- Are there any articles or sample code showing SD IO access in a PocketPC? Thanks in advance Tag: Help! Cursor won't go away. Tag: 49343

    - PCI interrupt sharing Hi all, I'm porting on a pretty standard PCI device driver for CE 4.2, that originated in 2.12 or sometime back then. Currently, the driver uses InitializeInterrupt() to set up being notified of interrupts. It requests a SYSINTR_ value as the OEM index plus the IRQ number. Obviously, this fails if there are multiple devices that have the same IRQ. I see that the PCI bus requests a unique SYSINTR from the kernel and provides it in the registry. Will it be sufficient to use that value? What if other devices also use the same IRQ, perhaps a NIC that I don't have the sources of? Much of the documentation implies that to share interrupts, it is necessary to rely on installable ISR handlers, such as GIISR.dll. I can't tell whether I really need to worry about this or not. My quick glance says the source appears to do nothing but clear the interrupt, and not call notify my driver that it ever happened. So my questions are: Do I have to load an installable ISR within my PCI driver? Or does the PCI bus driver handle that for me? Or is it not related? If an installable ISR is needed, do I still use InitializeInterrupt() to associate an event with the unique SYSINTR? Thanks for any help and clarifications, -E. Nelson Tag: Help!

    - RNDIS/UDC XSC1BD driver Hi All, I have managed to link and include the common RNDIS MDD driver with my PXA255 UDC PDD Driver but I seem to be getting errors. I'm assuming (because of previous posts) that this is due to the IOCTL_HAL_TRANSLATE_IRQ condition not being implemented in the XSC1BD BSP.

    - debug serial port Hi I have an application that uses 2 serial ports on a PXA255(BTUART and FFUART) under WinCE4.10. I now have a need to convert the FFUART back to a debug port to spit out some debug messages. The only way I can get the system to boot up with the debug port functioning is to remove the serial driver which sets BSP_NOSERIAL=1. If I do this, however, my application cannot use the BTUART. Is there a way to have one serial port as a debug port and the other available to my application simultaneously? Currently I can only do one or the other Thanks Don Tag: Help! Cursor won't go away.

    - remove drivers from cloned BSP Hi, What's the best way to remove a driver from a platform? From the FeatureView, I can't simply delete the driver, it's just come back. I tried deleting it from the cloned .cec file(that created the platform/project) first, then goback to PB, then seems to be able to do it. Is this safe; the correct way to do it. (assume I decided that I don't needed that driver after I have cloned it and used it for a while;for the next prototype) Is this how the cloning process work when it ask what driver you want to want in the cloned BSP?

    - Setting baud rate prior to RasDial. I'm trying to change a unimodem serial port baud rate prior to calling RasDial on my Windows CE .NET 4.1 device. I am successfully setting the baud rate when the line is configured with the RAS server, but now I am working on improving dial out capabilities. Below is code that I am trying from which I am trying to set the baud rate. I removed some comments and error checking/handling. All of these API calls succeed without error! I'm afraid my changes aren't being applied because I'm specifying the modem line to use by device name rather than a line handle. My code that configures the RAS server uses RasIOControl with the RASCNTL_SERVER_SET_PARAMETERS flag to change the device configuration, I'm wondering if I have to do something similar prior to calling RasDial rather than using lineSetDevConfig. lineGetDevConfig(dwDeviceID, pVSDevCfg, L"comm/datamodem"); UCD.dwCommand = UNIMDM_CMD_CHG_DEVCFG; UCD.lpszDeviceClass = L"comm/datamodem"; UCD.lpDevConfig = pVSDevCfg; UCD.dwOption = UNIMDM_OPT_BAUDRATE; UCD.dwValue = dwBitsPerSecond; rc = lineDevSpecific(hLine, 0, NULL, &UCD, sizeof(UCD)); lineGetMessage(hLineApp, &LineMessage, INFINITE); dwResult = lineSetDevConfig(dwDeviceID, (PBYTE)pVSDevCfg + pVSDevCfg->dwStringOffset, pVSDevCfg->dwStringSize, L"comm/datamodem"); Please let me know if you have any ideas.

    - XIP vs RAM Thanks for the info Dean. I copied to responses to a new discussion thread as the subject title really did not apply. Would like some more input if anyone else who would like to chime in. I would think a biggey would be $$. Not having the OS in RAM would save megabytes (my images are approaching 25Meg) this is now freeed for scratch. Maybe the system can even get away with the next small size RAM ($$). Does anyone know if/what the premimum of the "K" Strata FLASH is? I would think the XIP OS would also be inherently more stable as it's exicuting from Read Only Memory, therefor there is less of a chance the OS could self destruct itsself?? Also what are the steps needed to transition to a XIP OS? I know the bootloader would need some work. Is it a simple matter of checking the "Enable image for flash" ???

However, the impact can be minimized by making use of high performance features in flash. For example, using the burst mode of regular J3 strataflash is much faster than standard access. If you switch over to using synchronous strataflash (K3) it's very fast. Approaches the performance of running from RAM. Other techniques include compressing modules that impact performance. This causes them to be decompressed and run from RAM. Careful tuning of the system this way can do wonders. > Saves RAM, system needs less RAM as RAM is only needed for stack,heap, > variables etc. and not OS > bootup time faster. > harder to setup (?) Not sure where this comes from, booting from XIP flash is the simplest thing possible. There are no extra steps to be concerned about - just get the image into flash and you're done. > harder to do OS Flash upgrades If you're upgrading from within the OS, yes. It's very challenging to upgrade flash when you're executing from it, for several reasons. This is why most solutions rely on the bootloader to do upgrades. This can be a shared task with the OS if desired and there's enough RAM available. > does (not) work with debugger (??) You can't step through code if it's in flash (the debugger can't set breakpoints in ROM). Other aspects of the debugger do work. You can get around this by loading the image into RAM when doing debugging. You can also set the C flag to compress the module you're interested in. That will cause the module to be loaded into RAM, where it can be debugged. > does (not) work with emulators (??) Don't know how this applies.

I just purchased a web tablet "Advantech mpc100" which uses a 206mhz
strongarm processor and operates on windows ce 3 (2000). The machine
is incredibly fast and accurate but has one annoyance which I've never
seen on the hpc platform... the stinkin' cursor stays on the screen
all the time, underneath wherever the stylus points! This might be
allright for a desktop pc but is terribly annoying when using a
pen/stylus. The yellow-arrow cursor is always right beneath my stylus
point.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the cursor so it behaves like a
normal pocketpc or hpc?

Thankyou for your help.

I would guess that Advantech could tell you. You might be able to do a
ShowCursor( FALSE ), for a given application, but the display driver has to
be invoked to turn the cursor off permanently.
