Can Uboot Code be used to bring up WINCE 5.0 Kernel

hi all
I'am developing bootloader for OMAP 5912(TI's osk5912),i want to know
if U-Boot code can be used to bring up the WINCE 5.0 Kernel.If yes,
please tell me the modification needed to be done in the U-BOOT.
Thanks in advance

I guess it should be very similar to loading wince using redboot boot loader.
You can find related information by googling 'redboot wince'. Let me know
how you do it if you've already found the solution. Thx.

Just look into the EBOOT code provided with PB. To boot from something other
than Ethernet you will need to add code to parse a Windows CE BIN file and
load it into RAM. (I'm assuming you are loading a BIN file into RAM as
"loading" an XIP image is no more complicated than memcpy())

OMAP 5912 comes shipped with uboot which has boot over ethernet functionality.
It's just easy to use that. WinCE RAM Image can be downloaded over ethernet
using TFTP and can be run using uboot.
Since WinCE Image has ethernet driver, should be able to connect/debug over
ethernet from platform builder.
