    - WinCE 4.2 2K Nand Flash got cut/paste problem Hi all, I follow the following email to modify the fsd and fmd driver in WinCE 4.2 two years ago. It works well until two weeks ago. NAND driver and FAT filesystem http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder... Our customer found one bug. I can repeat the bug by following the below steps. 1. Prepare 70 files in the nand flash folder, size from 1 byte to 100KByte. 2. Cut/paste them to the RAM file system i.e \temp folder. 3. Compare the files with the original files and found that the data become all 0x00 in some of them. I tried to put the original files in the RAM file system i.e. \temp folder and cut/paste them to nand flash folder. The files are all ok. I tried to put the original files in the Nand Flash folder and cut/ paste them to another nand flash folder. The files are ok. I tried to put the original files in the RAM file system i.e. \temp folder and cut/paste them to another RAM files sytem folder i.e. \program files. The files are ok. If the nand flash is 512 page nand flash, it don't have the above bug. So you can only find the bug in 2K page Nand Flash. If the OS is WinCE 5.0, don't have this bug. The summary is that the bug only happened on WinCE 4.2 and 2Kpage Nand Flash. The bug is only happened when cut/paste from 2K sector size FAT file system to 512 sector size FAT file system. Any suggestion? Thanks and Regards Hong Feng Tag: Problem faced while porting BSP to WinCE 6.0 Tag: 98958

    - Poor performance of diskcache.dll? Hi all, My company makes a GPS platform based on WinCE 5.0 S3C2440. It has 64MB of NAND flash, which is more than enough to fit the mapping application. However, the map database is fairly large and requires a 1GB SD card. No problem. However, when the application runs, it slows to a crawl due to the excessively fragmented nature of the file accesses it implements. So, I decided to more carefully examine the caching possibilities of WinCE 5.0. The FATFS caching is handled by PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\STORAGE\DISKCACHE. After much tracing and message printing I noticed that diskcache's algorithm doesn't have any support for pre-fetching (reading some sectors in advance); so, for each 1-sector request comming from the upper layers, diskcache reads only 1 sector from the disk, if there is a cache miss, and stores only that sector in the buffers; no further read-ahead is done. I cloned and tweaked diskcache to implement a read-ahead of 64 sectors (minimum) and now the application starts beautifully with thousands of cache hits; it is about 10 times faster and actually usable. Am I missing something? Is there any simple configuration that enables the read-ahead feature? Here are my FATFS customized registry entries: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS] "FriendlyName"="FAT FileSystem" "Flags"=dword:00000064 "Util"="fatutil.dll" "CacheDll"="diskcache.dll" "BufferSize"=dword:40 "FatCacheSize"=dword:200 "DataCacheSize"=dword:800 "CacheSize"=dword:800 "DLL"="fatfsd.dll" "EnableCache"=dword:1 "EnableFatCacheWarm"=dword:0 "EnableDataCacheWarm"=dword:0 "EnableWriteBack"=dword:1 "Paging"=dword:1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash\FATFS] "FriendlyName"="FAT FileSystem" "Dll"="fatfsd.dll" "Flags"=dword:00280014 "Paging"=dword:1 "CacheSize"=dword:800 "EnableCacheWarm"=dword:0 "EnableCache"=dword:1 "MountFlags"=dword:2 "MountAsROM"=dword:0 "BufferSize"=dword:40 "FatCacheSize"=dword:800 "DataCacheSize"=dword:800 "EnableCache"=dword:1 Besides, if I decide to use my modified diskcache.dll, am I allowed to do that, since this is derived from the PRIVATE tree?

    - SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition I can't be the only one confused by SQL Server on mobile devices. I am trying to get the new SQL Server 2005 CE on my Windows CE 5.0 device. In Platform Builder I have SQL Mobile listed as a catalog item. That is what I'm using right now. It comes with .dll files that are dated for 9/2/2005 and version numbers of 3.00.5206.0. This has to be SQL Mobile 3.0. To me it looks like SQL Server 2005 CE has files dated 12/22/2006 and version numbers of 3.00.5300.0. I found this KB article on MSDN: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918066 It says "A supported software update to resolve this issue is now available from Microsoft." Where is that update at? Are they talking about adding SQL Mobile to Platform Builder? Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Tag: Problem faced while porting BSP to WinCE 6.0 Tag: 98947

    - CE 5.0 Eboot and USB Host Hi All, I have two problem. Problem 1 ======== I am trying to download CEPC through an Ethernet connection (Eboot). But my NIC driver initializations are failing. I checked the same with two PC and the results are same. I have the following network cards. But these cards are not added in kitldrv.c file. so, 1) PC1 NIC card, Vendor ID 0x14E4, Dev ID 0x170C ( Broadcom made ) 2) PC2 NIC card, Vendor ID 0x8086, Dev ID 0x27DC ( INTEL Made ) Does any one know any patch or latest version which supports NIC from these Manufactures?. I am using WIN CE 5.0 Problem 2 ======= In MS-DOS mode, I loaded CEPC using loadcepc. I enabled the USB UHCI/ OCHI and EHCI support in the build and the registry entries are added. Also from the boot console, I could see UHCD logs like "UHCD: Installed ISR handler" etc. 1) But after booting, when I plug a USB device, there is no hardware pop-up ( or any kind of notification) for driver installation ( I added PnP Notifications during build, but don't know whether this is applicable) 2) How do I view the drivers and devices in a standalone CEPC. I mean "Device Manager" kind of stuff in CEPC. 3) What kind of diagnostic tools are used in CE for driver development. I mean outside remote PB tools, as I am not able to connect the PB to target CEPC. Thanks in advance Suja Tag: Problem faced while porting BSP to WinCE 6.0 Tag: 98937

    - ActivateDeviceEx() fails... Hi all, these days I have developed my first "Device-Driver" for CE-based devices. The "Device-Driver" is actually a quite simple DLL that exposes a stream-interface to clients. Clients can act upon the driver via CreateFile(), ReadFile(), WriteFile and DeviceIoControl(). The drivers purpose is simply to write Debug-Messages to a file. I have thoroughly tested the DLL-Entrypoints with a client in user-mode. I'm now tryin to load the driver via ActivateDeviceEx(). I have created a registry-key "Drivers\RZS_LogDrv" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which has the following values: Value-Type REG_SZ, Value-Name: DLL, Value "\Program Files\RZS_LogDrv\logdrv.dll"; (this is the path to my DLL"). Value-Type REG_SZ, Value-Name: Prefix, Value "RZS"; (this is the prefix used by the exported functions e.g. RZS_Init()). Value-Type REG_DWORD, Value-Name: Index, Value "0"; (this is the index used to form the device-name as in "RZS0:"). Value-Type REG_SZ, Value-Name: IClass, Value "{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"; (this is the (predefined) GUID for the stream-driver interface). My call to ActivateDeviceEx looks like this: const TCHAR* pszRegPath = _T("Drivers\\RZS_LogDrv"); HANDLE hDevice = ActivateDeviceEx(pszRegPath, NULL, 0, NULL); The return value is always NULL and GetLastError() reports 1610 (ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION)! What did I wrong? Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance and best regards Reiner Tag: Problem faced while porting BSP to WinCE 6.0 Tag: 98930

    - Loading a driver from other driver Part A: I have two stream interafce drivers driver_A and driver_B. Driver_B is dependent on driver_A and i want to load driver_B from driver_A. How can I achieve this ? Should I call LoadLibrary or ActivateDevice() from driver_A to load driver_B ? Is the XXX_Init function of driver_A the right place to call for loading driver_B? One more problem is driver_B once it gets loaded it will issue ioctls to driver_A? What is the best approach for this scenario? Part B: Driver_A will receive data from hardware and it needs to pass this data to driver_B Which is the best form of communication between drivers - events, message_queues,etc, considering performance as very critical ? Can I have more stream interface drivers over driver_B to form a hirearchial layering of drivers ? Tag: Problem faced while porting BSP to WinCE 6.0 Tag: 98911

    - location of CE's vector table Would someone kindly ask my following question ? Usually MPUs support low end (0x0000_0000) vector table location, but processors like some ARM processors support high end (0xFFFF_0000) vector table location as well. It was said that the high end vector table location is added for the requirement of OSs like CE. Must CE require this ? If a MPU core only supports low end vector table location, what would happen to run CE on it: CE can't work or there are some extra processing needed to do in CE so reducing its performance, etc. Thanks.

    - A new device type for SD/MMC card winCE Hi We had developed an device, that uses a subset of SD/MMC commands, and are now in the process of writing the device driver for it in winCE 5.0. Now in the SDcardDDK there are only 4 types of devices whose functionality is ported // enum for device type typedef enum _SDCARD_DEVICE_TYPE { Device_Unknown = 0, Device_MMC = 1, Device_SD_Memory = 2, Device_SD_IO = 3, Device_SD_Combo = 4 // combo is only an intermediate device type reserved only for the bus driver }SDCARD_DEVICE_TYPE, *PSDCARD_DEVICE_TYPE; I had read in many articles and the winCE help that usually the bus driver is not touched and only the HOST controller driver or client driver are modified according to the device requirements. Now I want to add a fifth type of device, and hence change the implementation of the SD Bus driver to accommodate my specific device type. Also our device can support a large sized card. i.e 32 bit addresses wont cut it for us. Which means that the Bus driver as well as the SDCardDDK will have to be modified. Now what is confusing me is how to package the modified bus driver. The packaging of the client driver and HC driver is straightforward. But for the SD bus driver, should i create a new msi installer, which will patch the original SD bus driver code and appropriate header files, or should I create a completely new catalog item (e.g SDModifiedBus driver) with a separate source folder. I want to know if anyone has any experience of changing the bus driver according to their needs. and if yes how was it packaged in the form of a catalog item or msi Installer.

I was able to download OS completely through USB using DNW But my OS didn't launch. My Launch address is 0x32200000(80200000) and my OS image starts at 0x80200000. I have a doubt whether any problem exists if my download address in DNW is same as launch address. I couldn't trace out where the problem exists. Give me some suggestions.

    - No Debug messages while Using Atatic IP Hello all I am using Intel PXA27x board, which is having Mainstaone II platform. Here i am using this board to use it for winCE 6.0. As in WinCE 6.0 we have Mainstone III BSP, so in this BSP i just set one variable SDRAM_SIZE_64_MB=1 in mainstoneiii.bat file. And i am able to download the image to the board via DHCP configured eboot, and also able to debugg it. But when i disable the DHCP in the eboot menu and given the Static IP to that board, then i am not able to get any debug message in my output window of platform builder.and I'm not able to use any tool which uses Kitl and not able to debug the BSP code. I am getting this message in the hypertherminal after nk.bin was loaded into board Windows CE Kernel for ARM (Thumb Enabled) Built on Sep 6 2006 at 19:14:27 INFO:OALLogSetZones: dpCurSettings.ulZoneMask: 0xb DeviceId.................

    - QFE for Windows CE .NET 4.2 Hi, Is it possible for someone from Microsoft to organise the Knowledge Base (KB) of Windows CE .NET 4.2 known bugs and publish the new QFE to fix them. I found that many known bugs that have been written in KB in another languages are not fixed and pulished with QFE. Therefore it's very disorganize and troublesome to fix the bugs manually one by one. For example, the following Google keyword: Windows CE NET 4.2 kbbug -QFE -837392 site::support.microsoft.com returns those KB bugs that has not been fixed with QFE. Furthermore, some KBs are written in another languages which doesn't have any English translation.

    - disabling reverse DNS for the web server The Windows CE 5.0 web server documentation mentions the ability to disable reverse DNS: GetServerVariable (ISAPI Extensions) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa450423.aspx "REMOTE_HOST The host name of the client or agent of the client (for example, gateway, proxy or firewall) that sent the request if reverse DNS is enabled. Otherwise, this value is set to the IP address specified by REMOTE_ADDR." Unfortunately this is the only place I can find any mention of even the possibility, let alone how to do so.

    - Display Driver for CE 6.0 Hi, I'm sorry for posting this query in multiple groups. I'm trying to develop a DirectDraw Display driver for Windows CE 6.0. I started with building a simple GDI based display driver using the GPE class and have verified this driver functionality. I've also executed the GDI test CETK tests on this implementation. Now I'm trying to extend this driver to incorporate the DirectDraw features using the DDGPE Class and the implementing the DDHAL. The required functions are complete and is building correctly. To test I tried to use the DDEX1 sample application. I observed that this application fails to initialize the DirectDraw. On further probing I found that the function DDGPECreateSurface fails declaring the format to be un-supported. The GDI driver is using the gpe_24bpp format and the bit mask is as follows. R-Mask is 0x000000FF G-Mask is 0x0000FF00 B-Mask is 0x00FF0000 I found that the default bit-mask are different from the one being used in our driver and thus the DDGPECreateSurface is failing. Is this color format really an un-supported. Or is there something I'm missing out. Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanking you in advance. BD.

    - USB mass storage issue We are facing some issue on the USB mass storage, let me explain the situation: My current setup is Target: ARM9 based Board. Os : WinCE 5.0. Host : Windows XP SP 2 Issue: 1) Target is configured as USB Device mass storage. 2) an SD card is plugged on the target. 3) On the PC, the SD card contents are visible. 4) When the card is replaced, the contents of the new one are not detected. The PC screen still shows the content of the previous card only. Currently as we understand: 1) The SDI driver is not communicating with USB driver for Card insertion & removal events. 2) Any event on the USB, the PDD notifies the MDD. But we see that only USB attach, detach & reset events being supported by the MDD (looking at the MDD sources). There isn't anything events for card insertion/removal. Is MS aware about this issue? Does it come from MS USB stack or MS SD stack or from somewhere else? There is some patch to solve this issue? Tag: Problem faced while porting BSP to WinCE 6.0 Tag: 98815

    - fail to build csp_pxa27x from another directory I have to port a new BSP on a PXA270. I have some modifications to do in public/csp_pxa27x directory. I have thus try to copy it in another location and make some modifications in sources.cmn and sources files in order to compile sources from there. My problem is that I define some variables in sources.cmn but they seem to be changed during the build process. Typically here is how is defined a variable in sources.cmn (several other variables have the same problem) : __PROJROOT=$(_TARGETPLATROOT)\src\$(WINCEPROJ) In order to better understand whats happening I have added some trace : in sources.cmn !MESSAGE sources.cmn __PROJROOT : $(__PROJROOT) in sources !MESSAGE sources __PROJROOT : $(__PROJROOT) I build the project and then in build.log I have the folowing trace : BUILD: [01:0000000014:INFO ] sources.cmn __PROJROOT : C: \WINCE500\platform\alpilles\src\csp_pxa27x BUILD: [01:0000000023:INFO ] sources __PROJROOT : C:\WINCE500\public \csp_pxa27x The first one has the expected value. So my question is, what, or who may change that vaue between sources.cmn and sources ?

    - Keyboard lag ... on Windows CE 5.0 We see random problems with keyboard handling in our WinCE images. The keyboard handling is getting slower now and then. Slower means that the keyboard click and the processing of the key event by the application that owns the focus is happening about 2 seconds after the key has been pressed. This is true for standard and USB keyboards. It is also not related to our application; even WordPad does show that it receives the key down event quite a long time after the key has been pressed. We could not find a way to reproduce; it just starts to happen now and then? and is only going away after rebooting the OS. I think this is probably a problem in the OS/HID drivers, since our code does not produce the slowdown (but it might have triggered it).

    - Bug in signed-overflow of (unsigned) Tick-Counter ? When the system internal (unsigned DWORD) Tick-Counter (CurMSec) approaches a signed overflow, i.e. 0x80000000, the system starts behaving in strange ways, becomes almost unusable, etc. Sleeps started at a point in time before this signed-overflow that are going to end after such a signed-overflow seem to not work at all and instead seem to act like a Sleep(0). For example in a simple application: while (TRUE) { RETAILMSG(1, (TEXT("ping 0x%08x\r\n"), GetTickCount())); Sleep(0x7fffffff); } The Sleep() doesn't seem to work at all. In a system actually approaching a CurMSec count of 0x80000000 all Sleeps and other timeouts suddenly seem to go crazy. Applications, including the regular Windows Explorer, become allmost unusably slow, the performance of ethernet connections (like FTP) suddenly starts to drop considerably, etc. After CurMSec has passed 0x80000000 the system acts normally again. What is going on here? How can this be fixed? BTW.: This was tested on 4 different ARM platforms: 1. Sharp LH7A404 based Windows CE 5.0 2. Freescale iMX.31 based Windows CE 5.0 3. Intel PXA270 based Windows Mobile 5 PocketPC 4. Intel PXA270 based Windows .Net 4.2 PocketPC As our system will also be used for applications that run 24/7/365 this is pretty critical.

Do I have to include any additional library files in my BSP sources?
Has anyone encountered a similar error?

Hi All,

Figured out the solution for this one. And thought this might aid
someone who might face a similar error.
1.
The g_oalLogMask has been replaced by dpCurSettings.ulZoneMask in 6.0.
Compare your oal_log.h file from your BSP with the oal_log.h in the
Platform\Common\Src\Inc folder and make the changes wherever the
g_oalLogMask variable has been used.
2. For resolving the CEProcessor type error, I had to comment out the
extern DWORD CEProcessor in Init.c
3. And for the pQueryPerformance error, I resolved it by adding
oemglobal.h and nkexports.h (and commented out nkxp.h) in oal.h of my
BSP.

Regards,
Treadstone
