year 2000 bug
I think i'm getting some kind of year 2000 bug that is
causing a wrong date/time on my device. The year on my
device says 1983, but i did some investigation and found
that the OEMGetRealTime function that returns the system
time is called when windows ce boots returns the year 3
instead of 2003, and because the year 3 is less than the
default year (1983), platform builder sets the default
year (1983) to the device. Is this a problem with my
specific device? where exactly is the system time stored?
And why would the system time return a 3 instead of 2003?
Here is my serial debug output:
Invalid time returned from OEMGetRealTime: Year: 3, Month:
8, Day: 1, Hour: 12, Minute: 12, second: 21

Problem in iPaq 2210 with button "Power" after install my driver
Hi everyone.
I install my driver into the iPaq 2210, which replaces usb-driver. This
driver forms data packets for sending to PC and transmits them to USB driver
for further sending.
After driver installation the device is not turned on by pressing "Power"
button. I can turn it on with pressing RESET only. Other buttons keep
working well.
I did not see such kind of the problem on the previous versions of the
devices.
I know the problem is in driver. But I do not know where and why.

Registry key creation guidelines.
Hi All,
I was wondering if there exists any document from Microsoft that lists

PCMCIA Driver Problems on a Mainstone II Eval Board. HELP!
Hey guys. I'm pretty sure my problem here isn't exactly CE related, but I
really don't have anywhere else to go for help right now. I'm hoping
someone here has run into a similar problem and is able to shine some light
on my situation.
We're working on a Mainstone II eval board from Intel. Our current OS
configuration is a very stripped down CE 4.20 platform with minimal GWES,
NDIS, PCMCIA, and the default NE2000 compatible ethernet driver. We're to
get a Socket LP-E compact flash ethernet card (with PCMCIA adapter) running
so we can do some more app development. We've had this exact same card,
with the exact same driver, running on our own hardware platform with no
problems. Unfortunately, we see some goofy things on the Mainstone II.
After booting, we see the card detect, we see PCMCIA run the detect routine
for the driver, and we see the correct driver get loaded. When using DHCP,
we even see an initial DHCP discovery packet go out from the card. However,
we never see the card respond to the DHCP response. It really looks like
we're not getting any interrupts from the card. We can remove the card,
re-insert it, see the driver reload, etc, but we never get a transmit or
receive interrupt.
We've been digging down deep into the OAL to verify all of the interrupts
are being properly enabled and disabled in the various OEMInterrupt*
functions, and everything seems to be conceptually fine. But, we're seeing
something strange when the driver tries to enable the interrupts on the
board. The Mainstone II board has a big-honkin' FPGA that controls all of
the PCMCIA interrupt sources. When we watch the driver try to unmask the
interrupts through the FPGA's "Platform Interrupt Mask/Enable Register" it
looks like it doesn't work. We see the correct bits getting sent to this
register, but then when we read them back, it looks like they don't change.
First, has anyone else actually used the PCMCIA driver for an NE2000
ethernet card on the Mainstone II board? (We're working with a modified
PPC2003 BSP, build 016.) If so, have you seen any problems like this?
We're starting to question the programming of the FPGA, and we're trying to
get the code for it from Intel, but that always takes forever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. This one has us stumped. (When
our hardware guy starts suggesting things like physically replacing the
FPGA, I get worried.) ;)
Thanks in advance guys.

CE QFE automatic Check utility questions
With each of the quarterly releases of QFEs, there is a ceqfechk.exe
utility installed in the windows/system32/ceqfecheck directory (this
location on a WinXP box). I had hoped that this would be an easy way
to verify that I had all the current QFEs, but have found that even
after installing all the QFEs which I can find through the Microsoft
search engine, it still shows a number of "invalid" files.
Since there is no documentation sent with this tool, can someone
explain what we should expect to see in this tool (should we be able
to get to a point where there are no "invalid" files)?
I continue to wish that there was a simpler way of knowing what
updates are available, a simpler way of being informed when new
updates are available, and a simpler way of getting them from
Microsoft to my machine. It would seem that using the "Welcome to
Platform Builder" web-page (which always appears when starting
Platform Builder) would be the ideal location to place this kind of
information. I think this would be of great use to the developer
community, with not a lot of cost to Vocollect. A link to this
platform builder newsgroup would probably be useful too.

Windows CE parallel port access
Hi,
I have built a CE image using platform builder for PC

TrueFFS RFA support in CE 4.1
What does the trueffs driver in CE 4.1 support ?
My understanding is that Microsoft licensed this from m-
systems, and it is supposed to support Resident Flash
Array for some flash devices, but some previous posts seem
to indicate that it is still legal only for m-system DOC
devices. I understand that is true if I get trueffs from m-
system (its part of the user agreement), but I can't find
that stated for the Microsoft version.
Secondly, the CE 4.1 documentation gives a list of the
MTDs and registration routines that support the different
devices. When I look in
\public\common\oak\drivers\block\trueffs\flcustom.c there
are more flxxx routines listed. I'm specifically
interested in the flRegisterAMDMTD(). Does this support
some AMD chips that would have the Common Flash Interface ?
I'm wondering if there is just a documentation issue and a
few more chips are supported. Tag: How to put an application on the Start Menu? Tag: 44436

Customize cplmain: GetSystemPowerStatusEx undeclared identifier
Dear experts
In order to modify the Keyboard control panel I copied
the folder \WINCE420\PUBLIC\WCESHELLFE\OAK\CTLPNL\CPLMAIN
to my own platform.
Trying to build the sources leads to the following compiler error:
power.cpp(1239) : error C2065: 'GetSystemPowerStatusEx' : undeclared
identifier
I found that the prototype of this function is sysgened out of winbase.h,
because I didn't include the Battery Driver.
Is there a way to do something like
IF COREDLL_BATTERY
in the sources file, to compile the power.cpp only
if the Battery Driver is included?

BltComplete function being called continuously
Hi All
I am developing a display driver. And i was working on BltComplete
function. I tried to run an emulator image and it was working fine.
But once i open mycomputer or internet explorer screen's my
Bltcomplete function is being called with teh same destination
rectange coordinates continuously though every drawing is completed.
May be my BltComplete funtions is not returning properly. All i did
was that i inserted a DEBUGMSG in the BltComplete function to find out
the coordinates of teh rectangle that were being drawn at every stage.
I am not using any hardware specific functionality in BltPrepare and
BltComplete functions. If the window size is equal to the screen size,
then i get this problem, but if the window size is less than the
screen size BltComplete stops after completing the drawing for the
window.

Query on adding driver to a platform
Hi all,
I need to add a device driver to a platform created...I did the
following steps.
1) Added the driver to the respective BSP through the BSP wizard
2) edited the platform.reg and added the respective entries
3) edited the platform.bib and added the name of the dll as
required...
when I build the platform, the driver.dll file is getting created,
which is displayed on the output of the IDE...
But when i download the OS image and check for the driver whether
loaded or not
using the CE Target control,
I typed the command :
gi mod
This doesn't list my driver and so I take it as it's not included in
the nK.bin...
What would have gone wrong...
Can anybody throw somelight on this topic...

Disabling COM1 debug output
I am trying to disable debug output on COM1. I searched on the groups
for this and I found some answers. However, applying them doesn't seem
to work.
What I tried to do was to (based on the few posts I found on the
subject) modify public\common\oak\csp\i486\oal\debug.c by setting
ucComPort to 0 right before the switch statement so that it becomes:
pBootArgs->ucComPort = 0;
switch ( pBootArgs->ucComPort ) {
case 1:
IoPortBase = (PUCHAR)COM1_BASE;
break;
[...]
default:
IoPortBase = 0;
break;
}
To build, I did the following:
1. Menu Build -> Open Build Release Directory
(now in the prompt)
2. set wincerel=1
3. cd public\common\oak\csp\i486\oal\
4. build -cf
5. sysgen -p common
Finally, I ran a build image from the IDE.
The changes did not seem to have any effect. Have I missed anything?

Hello all,
I'm trying to access an activex control from a web-page in

The activex control comes up in IE fine. I see the elipse
in the box. I just can't access any methods.
This is the message I always see:

I've tried referencing the object like
this "Simplex.GetNumber()" without the "document.". I
tried putting the object in the form.
I'm regestering the activex control at runtime, through
DllRegisterServer().
Any help please?

IRQ Woes, Please Help!
Hello,
Not sure if this is the proper forum, or not, but...
We are working on bringing up a new set-top device, based heavily on
legacy-free pc hardware.
So far, we have had much success, basing our BSP heavily on CEPC. The
kernel is coming up, a very simple display driver is in place, and we are
able to launch userland processes. However, we have hit a major roadblock
that is beginning to cause us much grief.
Our device has a bit of a nonstandard PCI bus, so instead of using the PCI
enumerator we decided to 'hardcode' the device settings in the registry, as
there is really only one device we are concerned with, an OHCI usb
controller. This usb controller is on IRQ 1 and at a membase of 0xFED00000
So, we've set the relevant registry settings as:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\OHCI]
"Prefix"="HCD"
"Dll"="ohci2.dll"
"Order"=dword:2
"Class"=dword:0c
"SubClass"=dword:03
"ProgIF"=dword:10
"IsrDll"="giisr.dll"
"IsrHandler"="ISRHandler"
"MemBase"=dword:fed00000
"MemLen"=dword:1000
"Irq"=dword:1
"SysIntr"=dword:11
"BusNumber"=dword:0
"DeviceNumber"=dword:2
"FunctionNumber"=dword:0
(Perhaps overkill, but...)
Now, when we boot, the driver loads alright, but the following appears:
0x839f58a8: CHub(Root tier 0)::HubStatusChangeThread - device attached on
port 1
0x839f58a8: +CHub(Root tier 0)::AttachDevice - port = 1, fIsLowSpeed = 0
0x839f58a8: CHub(Root tier 0)::AttachDevice - status =
DEVICE_CONFIG_STATUS_OPENING_ENDPOINT0_PIPE, failures = 0
0x839f58a8: CHub(Root tier 0)::AttachDevice - status =
DEVICE_CONFIG_STATUS_USING_ADDRESS0, failures = 0
0x839f58a8: CHub(Root tier 0)::AttachDevice - status =
DEVICE_CONFIG_STATUS_RESET_AND_ENABLE_PORT, failures = 0
0x839f58a8: USB HCD: DEBUGCHK failed in file
d:\mckendric\public\common\oak\drivers\usb\hcd\ohcd2\.\chw.cpp at line 994
0x839f58a8: DEBUG_BREAK @0258e866 Ignored.
0x839f58a8: CHub(Root tier 0)::AttachDevice - status =
DEVICE_CONFIG_STATUS_SCHEDULING_SET_ADDRESS, failures = 0
We've investigated, some, and it appears that what is happening is that the
driver is attempting to send a "reset" to the first port. When the port
receives this reset, it is supposed to reset (obviously) and generate some
interrupt (in some OHCI references we've seen this interrupt referred to as
"DEVICE_ATTACHED") which should, I'm assuming, call back into the driver,
clearing some PRSC flag. The code relevant to where the DEBUGCHK is failing
is:
DEBUGCHK ( m_portBase->HcRhPortStatus[port-1].PRSC == 1 );
RootHubFeature(port, USB_REQUEST_CLEAR_FEATURE,
USB_HUB_FEATURE_C_PORT_RESET);
DEBUGCHK ( m_portBase->HcRhPortStatus[port-1].PRSC == 0 );
It is the second DEBUGCHK that is failing.
From here, we're stuck. We're not sure where to go next, with this problem.
Any help, or a nudge in the right direction, would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

BUG: 16550 Software FIFO ISR
In the software FIFO ISR DLL the function Isr16550() has the following line:
pBlockVirt->dwEventIndex=pBlockVirt->dwEventCount=0;
This is a problem as it resets the event count for every interrupt. Thus, if
a new interrupt (say a data receive interrupt) occurs before the IST has had
the chance to process the previous events in the event array they will ALL
be lost! This will cause problems for handshaking control and can totally
hose a communications protocol. By virtue of the size of the buffers this is
not _likely_ to be an issue (but still a possibility) on the receive side.
If transmitting to a device with a 16 byte FIFO it's a major problem if the
handshaking signal changes are lost as the software TX FIFO will quickly
overrun the receiving device's small FIFO.

Help on evc app debugging thru ActiveSync problems
Hi, I'm using CE4.2, I have created and install a custom SDK for my device.

I have uncheck all the build option in PB.
I can use remote tools(remote registry editor,...)
Now,here's the problem, the evc app have the same problem in both release
and debug build.
nk.bin is release build.
in evc, when I press "build", after the startup server started, it shows a
warning:
"The targeted platform XXX does not match the connected platform. Continue?"
Why does this happen? what's does it check whether it matches or not(some
guid)?
When I do continue, the evc app downloads fine.
After that, I set a breakpoint and press "go" and I would get this
"Debugger swap error" "eVC cannot locate a debugger able to debug the
attached device.
The debugger session cannot begin."
do I need a kernal debugger option build?(I'll try again with this option)

restart PCMCIA wireless driver
Hi all,
I have a Linksys wireless PCMCIA card (WPC11) which can not reconnect to
wireless network if it lost the network once, i have to reboot my ipaq.
I tryied to use DeactivateDevice to unload the driver (it works fine) and
ActivateDevice which does not work.
I tryied to use deviceiocontrol as said in the KB Q304296 but it said that i
can not do a IOCTL_NDIS_REGISTER_ADAPTER on PCMCIA card.
How can i restart my driver ? does anyone successfully did this ?
Thank you very much.

xscale doubt
We have here with us a pxa255 processor board from hybus.
It has 2 intel strata 16 MB flash, (so total 32 MB) one 64 MB SDRAM.
It has a cs8900 ethernet adapter.
We are using windows ce platform builder 4.0. I read that it support
xscale architecture.
We are having a problem, and do not know how to modify things to get
the image loaded on to the board.
We build a image by chossing XSC1BD architecture, and a PDA kernel.
We did not modify boot.bib or config.bib, since we are not aware what
we need to put in these files.
We saw the fwxsc1.s file (startup file). we are using the jflash
utility to flash eboot.bin into the flash memory. i was not able to
understand, when i restart the board, nothing is happening, i am not
even getting any stirngs on my hyperterminal, i doubt it is even going
into the startup code. What are the things i need to modify to get the
strings in the startup code to appear on the hyperterminal.
thanks and regards

.BIN file format
Hi everyone,
Could someone please clarify the "Image Length" field? The description
says that it is the "Physical length, in bytes, of the image." Does this
mean the total number of bytes in the image or the total number of bytes
that the image spans? Either way, it doesn't seem to make much sense. I
have an eboot.bin file that has an image length field of 45992 bytes,
but the size of the file itself is only 41k approximately. Can anyone
explain how this field is calculated?

Bluetooth device name.
Hi All,
When another device (desktop) detects my bluetooth enabled WinCE 4.2 device,
it uses the device name field in the System -> Device Name control panel tab
as the CE devices' name. However, if I change that name in the control panel
of my CE device and try to rediscover it on my desktop, the old name is
used. The new name is only used after a suspend/resume or a reboot. Is there
anyway for the bluetooth stack to pick-up the new device name.
Cheers

Taskman shell sample in CE.NET4.2
Hi All,
In CE.NET4.2 the Taskman Sample Shell is no longer selectable from the
Catalog, however, the support is still there. My question is how to include
the
Taskman Sample Shell (and exclude Standard Shell) in my 4.2 build.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

How does TAPI (unimodem) know a device is attached or removed?
When a modem is attached or removed, how does TAPI (unimodem) get notified?
I am asking this because of a related problem. When I find a bluetooth modem
and I activate it in the "Bluetooth Device Properties" control panel I can
set up a dial up connection to it in the "Network and Dialup Connections"
control panel. However, when I delete that device in the Bluetooth control
panel I can still create a new dialup connection to it. RasEnumDevices()
still returns this device.
I think that this maybe done on purpose. Looking at the unimodem code I see
that when it gets notified of a device being removed it actually marks the
device as disconnected, out of service, and removed but does not delete it
from it's list of devices. Is this why this device is still returned when I
call RasEnumDevices()? Is this the expected behaviour? If yes, why? I would
expect that if I delete the bluetooth device, the RAS device would be
deleted as well.
Cheers

Confirmed ARMV4 Compiler Bug in PB4.2
Microsoft has confirmed that they have a
7-byte-structure-passed-by-value compiler bug in the ARMV4 compiler
used with PB4.2. This happens in both debug and release code, so it
is not an optimization issue. Since I am the only one to have
reported this bug, and because it is known to not be a problem in the
version of the the compiler that will be shipped sometime in the
future with the next version of CE, they have chosen not to put any
effort into fixing it for the current version.
The issue can be reproduced very easily. The following C code snippet
will reproduce the issue by calling test1:
struct test_struct
{
char byte1;
char byte2;
char byte3;
char byte4;
char byte5;
char byte6;
char byte7;
};
void testsub1 (struct test_struct var1Copy)
{
// Assert (var1Copy.byte7 == 7);
char ch;
// Set breakpoint on following line and look at var1Copy
// Bytes 5, 6, and 7 are duplicates of bytes 1, 2, and 3
ch = var1Copy.byte7;
}
void test1(void)
{
struct test_struct var1 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
// If a breakpoint is set here, and the assembly code
// is stepped through, you will see that the first
// dword is used twice, and the second dword is never
// used.
testsub1(var1);
}
I remain surprised that any known compiler bug would be considered
non-important (didn't Intel make that mistake with an "infrequently"
used opcode error in a Pentium chip?). It was also mentioned (but not
verified) that this same ARM compiler is likely used with the eVC++
4.X tools as well.
The only way to verify that this is not an issue in your code is to
search out all the structures and verify that either they are never 7
bytes long, or that they are never passed into a function by value. I
would much rather see a QFE to fix this, but I am unfortunately
resigned to search through our code and make sure no structures are
ever passed by value.
If others are bothered by this too, please speak up.

Steps needed to enable screen rotation
Hello all,
In all of my past efforts with screen rotation, I've been blessed with a LCD
controller that supports hardware rotation of the frame buffer.
Unfortunately now that I have a system that lacks this convenient feature, I
have a customer that wants to rotate their screen. So my question to the
group is this: what are the steps I need to take to support screen rotation
within my standard GPE-based display driver. Specifically I'm looking for
registry entries, libraries I need to link to, GPE calls that might need to
be overridden, etc.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Audio Architecture Details
Hello All,
We have a dual processor system with a custom dsp and a
ARM9 processor. Arm9 is the master of the chip and we
have certain protocols to communicate with the dsp and
execute tasks(especially audio decoding) on it. Windows CE
will be the OS which will be running on the Arm. The
following figure shows the data flow for the audio data.
ED ------- DD ------ --------------
---| DSP |---->| DMA |--->| Audio Device |
------- ------ --------------
ED = Encoded Data, DD = Decoded Data
Now we are trying to design a suitable multimedia
architechture for the above described system.What i found
from the CE documentation for Audio, i can use
i) UAM and ACM for playing MP3 etc
ii) To use the DirecShow architecture for Audio i.e to
have filters that provide inteface to the DSP decoder.
I am trying to evaluate the best suited approach for my
system. But i am facing the following problems.
Data decoded from the DSP can be directly transfred to the
audio device using DMA. If i use any of the above
approaches, i need to write ACM wrappers to interface with
the DSP. This wrapper will receieve buffers of compressed
audio, will shuttle the data over to the DSP, and the DSP
uploads the results as per the current architecture and
it cannot use DMA to directly transfer data to the audio
device, as client of this wrapper would be waiting for the
decoded data.
a) I don't want to upload this decoded data rather play it
directly using DMA. Is this possible with any of the above
approaches?
b) What are merits/demerits of the above approaches?
c) Is there any other alternative to suit to my needs?
Thanks in advance,

Multimedia Architecture Details
Hello All,
I am new to Windows CE Multimedia. I have few doubts.
1) In which process slot (Nk.exe, Device.exe or etc.) do
Wave API Manager, ACM and Video/Image Compression Manager
reside?
2) Is there any good documentation for Wave API Manager,
ACM and VCM apart from PB? i.e about the flow of data
among these modules.
3) Is the source code available for these modules?
4) What is the difference between a AudioCodec and
Waveform Audio I/O Device?
Hope to get an answer,

HWUART vs Irda
Hi,
I want to use HWUART and Irda at the same time in my Xscale platform.
But if HWUART is enabled, I can't use Irda. I test the Irda with ActiveSync 3.5.
If HWUART is disabled, I can use Irda with ActiveSync.
In my understanding, there should be no conflict between HWUART and Irda.
Can somebody help me ?

Geode/MediaGX audio driver BIG problems
Hi! For 1 week i'm trying to install audio drivers for PCM-
5822 Biscuit PC without any succes. Drivers are loaded, NO
errors comming, i debuged all driver loading process - all
control points are fine. I used Geode/MediaGX Audio
(Unified) or Geode/MediaGX Waveform Audio Device drivers.
But no sound! On the same platform under Win98 audio works
FINE!!! All drivers are native, produced specially for
geode platform - why it is SO BIG problem to use them?
WHERE IS AUDIO MIXER? Maybe i have all volumes muted, but
there are no ways to check it!
Maybe I can post this question in other place? PCM-5822
is so popular platform...

Can a CE 4.x device be a USB Host and a USB Mass Storage Controller?
Hello,
I know there has been some discussion in the past about making a CE device
appear as a mass-storage device on a USB network. I am curious if this
capability is possible and will run side-by-side with the existing USB Host
contoller that is available with CE 4.x today.

RESEND: x86 Emulator - KITL using serial loopback cable
Hello,
I have an x86 emulator platform (copied from
the %_winceroot%\platform\Emulator directory).
I would like to run KITL over serial instead
of the DMA transport. (Might sound stupid, but
my purpose is to get an understanding how it
works before I port it to my custom ARM-based
platform)
I changed halkitl.c so it always calls InitSerial
and OEMInitSerial in halserkitl.c so it always
opens COM2 (KitlIoPortBase = (PUCHAR)COM2_BASE;).
If I open a terminal window I can see that the
emulator does output the bytes stored in
"packetHeaderStamp" when it starts.
But I don't manage to get platform builder to
connect to the emulator.
I think I've setup everything correctly. For
Download I have the Emulator, and set "Serial
Port 2" to "COM2".
For "Kernel Transport" I have Serial, with port
COM1, and a loopback cable between COM1 and COM2.
Using two terminal windows, I can see that the
cable works correctly.
I noticed that the CEPC platform has a quite
different halkitl.c and halserkitl.c, why is
that? What should I use?
Any ideas of how to troubleshoot this are welcome.
(What I really would like to do KITL debugging over
an USB controller, but I'm not really sure how to
do this, so I thought this was one way of learning.
I think what I should do is to write a PDD similar
to PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\RNDISFN\NET2890 but
for the USB controller I use. Are there other samples
how this can be done??)
Thanks in advance. Tag: How to put an application on the Start Menu? Tag: 44306
Deleting Hive-based registry
Hi NG,
i actually have implemented the hive based registry on an IDE Harddrive. So
far everthing works fine, but how can i tell CE to delete the registry and
make a clean boot??
I found in the help files something about IOCTL_HAL_GET_HIVE_CLEAN_FLAG, but
i don't know who and where this flag will be asked. For me it sounds like
the atapi driver will be asked that. Is that rigth?? And if yes, how can i
tell the atapi driver to answer false to the filesys.exe?
So is there any simple function like RegFlushKey(), which deletes the file
on my persistent storage device??
Best regards,
Oliver Münchow
