    - shell.exe is not loading Hi all, I am building a GATEWAY platform on INTEL XSCALE processor on Win ce 5.0. When the runtime image is downloaded,the system does not load "shell.exe".I dont know why it is happening. The registry settings are ; @CESYSGEN IF CE_MODULES_SHELL IF IMGNOKITL ! "Launch10"="shell.exe" ENDIF IMGNOKITL ! ; @CESYSGEN ENDIF ; @CESYSGEN IF CE_MODULES_DEVICE "Launch20"="device.exe" ; @CESYSGEN IF CE_MODULES_SHELL IF IMGNOKITL !

    - A little experiment Hi guys, could someone please try this out: On the wince 5.0 display based platform which has KernelDebugger/KITL/CESH/VMini enabled, boot in debug mode (with KernelDebugger/KITL/CESH/VMini on) and then try to debug a GUI based app from eVC4 SP4 using KITL transport and CESH startup server. Just leave it to run and see if it will close without exceptions. I've tried that on three different platforms (ARMV4I and x86) using different templates and corresponding Platform SDKs for eVC. The result is always the same, when the GUI app is closing (WinMain execution finishes and control is retured to the caller) this cause first-chance exeption in PB debugger and eVC debugger shows that app jumped to some absolutely crazy address (like 0xCCCCC on X86). Once You try to "Pass exception to debugger" eVC will hang completely and die with "Program performed an illegal operation and will be closed". The problem seems to be connected with GUI apps only (both plain API and MFC), for example apps generated by the eVC app wizard show this behaviour verry well. Another thing, the same app that caused exception during closing in debug mode can be launched and closed without any exception in non-debug mode (means normal execution). Absolutely no problems with non-GUI apps, they close just nice in both debug and non-debug modes. Is this a known issue for wince 5.0? As far as I remember there were no such problems in 4.2 and earalier versions. Btw, there are no problems with debugging GUI apps from BP itself, only eVC shows this behaviour. And it seems the problem is KernelDebugger or KITL related. Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73462

    - Using dash (-) and @ symbols as a prefix of statements in makefiles?? Hi community. I am a new in Windows CE world, and recently started to learn this new cool thing. Trying to understand targets and destinations of the various files copied to the image, I wanted to print out some environment variables used in makefile. I found that a lot of statements there start from either -@ or just from @, like these lines: -@xcopy /D /I $(SG_INPUT_ROOT)\oak\files\*.2bp $(SG_OUTPUT_ROOT)\oak\files or @echo Copying $@.* or @set TARGETTYPE=DYNLINK but sometimes, I can find statements without -@ as a prefix such as set CPLMAIN_RES=%%CPLMAIN_RES%% $@P.res Could anybody explain usage of these "special symbols"? Or just simply point me to the appropriate RTFM? Thanks, Alex Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73429

    - Driver registry info Hi, I have been putting together the pxa25xusfn (PXA255 USB function driver). I borrowed registry settings from the pxa270 version. However i've noticed that the pxa255 pdd code expects Iobase and Iolen as reg keys but the pxa270 driver i based it on uses Membase and Memlen. I would have thought reg settings for USB function drivers would be consistent. There doesn't seem to be any doc saying what a USB function driver should have as reg settings. I have worked out what the pxa255 pdd needs by analysis of the code. Why is this inconsistent? Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73426

    - windows xp hq filter In windows xp with windows media player 10, there is a filter option if you go to tools, options, performance, advance, and click on "use high quality mode" instead of "use overlays", it manages to filter out videos that have blockyness and rings in them. In windows ce 5.0, I tried turning the post processing to level 4 in the registry, which is the highest one and it doesn't seem to make a difference where as the windows media player 10 option in windows xp does.

    - Porting to 5.0, bad libraries I just downloaded Windows CE 5.0 Evaluation Edition. I'm trying to build for a Geode platform, so that is what I selected. I then did a build and sysgen, created an empty project, and inserted the "hello" sample app into the project. When I build the project, I get "Wininet.h not found". I defined "_WIN32_WCE_NO_ WININET" in stdafx.h to get past that. I then got about 80 linker errors on various MFC classes, none of them directly from my code. I didn't do anything fancy, this must be a common problem, but I've seen nothing on the newsgroups. Can anybody help? -Russ Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73403

    - suspend process in driver Hi, I try to understand the suspend process. We have to create a stream driver to drive a custom hardware on our platform. The problem is that hardware can be replace when the platform is on suspend mode. We created a GUI application to communicate using the driver to our hardware. So, when a suspend occurs, what are the differents states before the CPU will go to OFF. Does it possible to our application to be stop in an IOCTRL of our Driver? Does the PowerDown will occurs? On the resume State, Does the powerUp function will be call before RESUME the application? if Yes, what the driver can do in this situation because when the application will be resume, it will continue the IOCTRL, so if the hardware as changed, How the driver can do to be safe in all case?

    - Driver load error Hi, My usb function driver pxa25xusbfn.dll fails to load. It reaches DLL_process_attach in the MDD and then goes into Dllentry in PDD (not sure why there are 2 dllentry's ) then returns to DevMgr code which later calls DeleteDevice on which the driver unloads. I get the following debug output: DEVICE!CreateDevice: illegal entry point combination in driver DLL: pxa25xusbfn.dll To save me some debugging time, does anyone know why this error ocurs.

    - NdisMRegisterInterrupt DEBUGCHK in Wince 4.2 Hello, I am writing an NDIS driver for a PCI NIC (Intel Pro Wireless 2200) on a CEPC, for CE.net 4.2. The platform is equiped with another Ethernet chip on the PCI bus. The driver for this chip comes from Intel (E100CE.DLL, for 8255X network chips.) Both NICs are wired to the first available PCI interrupt, which is IRQ6 (INTA) in my configuration. When I enable the E100CE driver in my project, it is initialized before my IPWL2200 driver and NdisMRegisterInterrupt produces this output: Loaded 'G:\WINCE420\PUBLIC\EBB615EX\RELDIR\DEBUG\E100CE.DLL', no matching symbolic information found. 4294778928 ==>NdisInitializeWrapper 4294778929 <==NdisInitializeWrapper 4294778931 ==>NdisMRegisterMiniport: NdisWrapperHandle 0004BBA0 4294778932 ==>ndisRegisterMiniportDriver: NdisWrapperHandle 0004BBA0 4294778933 <==ndisRegisterMiniportDriver: MiniBlock 0004BC10 4294778935 NdisMRegisterMiniport: MiniBlock 0004BC10 4294778936 <==NdisMRegisterMiniport: MiniBlock 0004BC10, Status 0 4294778940 4294778942 ndisMInitializeAdapter: Miniport 0004BE28, 4294778944 ==>ndisQueueMiniportOnDriver: Miniport 0004BE28, MiniBlock 0004BC10 4294778945 <==ndisQueueMiniportOnDriver: Miniport 0004BE28, MiniBlock 0004BC10, rc 1 4294778946 ==>NdisMSetAttributesEx: Miniport 0004BE28 4294778948 ==>NdisMMapIoSpace 4294778950 ***NDIS*** (a, 514) 4294778951 ==>NdisMRegisterInterrupt: Miniport 0004BE28 Vector 6 4294778953 0x8fbadbb8: NDIS:: CeConnectInterrupt() --> IRQ[6] SYSINTR[34] 4294778954 ***NDIS*** (a, 719) 4294778956 <==NdisMRegisterInterrupt: Miniport 0004BE28, Status 0 Then my driver initializes and a DEBUGCHK is issued by NdisMRegisterInterrupt code: Loaded symbols for 'G:\WINCE420\PUBLIC\EBB615EX\RELDIR\DEBUG\IPWL2200.DLL' 4294783878 ==>NdisInitializeWrapper 4294783879 <==NdisInitializeWrapper 4294783881 ==>NdisMRegisterMiniport: NdisWrapperHandle 000539A0 4294783882 ==>ndisRegisterMiniportDriver: NdisWrapperHandle 000539A0 4294783883 <==ndisRegisterMiniportDriver: MiniBlock 00053A10 4294783885 NdisMRegisterMiniport: MiniBlock 00053A10 4294783886 <==NdisMRegisterMiniport: MiniBlock 00053A10, Status 0 4294783889 4294783890 ndisMInitializeAdapter: Miniport 00053C28, 4294783892 ==>ndisQueueMiniportOnDriver: Miniport 00053C28, MiniBlock 00053A10 4294783893 <==ndisQueueMiniportOnDriver: Miniport 00053C28, MiniBlock 00053A10, rc 1 4294783899 ==>NdisMSetAttributesEx: Miniport 00053C28 4294783906 ==>NdisMMapIoSpace 4294783951 ***NDIS*** (a, 514) 4294783965 ==>NdisMRegisterInterrupt: Miniport 00053C28 Vector 6 4294784133 0x8fbadbb8: NDIS:: CeConnectInterrupt() --> IRQ[6] SYSINTR[33] 4294784154 0x8fbadbb8: Unknown: DEBUGCHK failed in file d:\mckendric\private\winceos\comm\ndis51\sys\.\timerm.c at line 688 4294784187 ***NDIS*** (a, 719) 4294784197 <==NdisMRegisterInterrupt: Miniport 00053C28, Status 0 The call to NdisMRegisterInterrupt succeeds but my system hangs when the 2200 fires its first interrupt.

The first time NdisMRegisterInterrupt is called, this table entry is NULL upon entry so the first calling MiniportAdapterHandle is written at Table[InterruptVector]; in addition a variable local to NdisMRegisterInterrupt ([ebp-228h]) is set to TRUE. The second time NdisMRegisterInterrupt is called, Table[InterruptVector] is not NULL anymore so the DEBUGCHK is called, previously-mentionned local variable is set to FALSE and the new MiniportAdapterHandle overwrites previous Table[InterruptVector] value. Please note that the [ebp-228h] variable is no used anymore. I have 2 questions: 1) Is this DEBUGCHK really useful? 2) Does anybody here have an idea of what happens when the interrupt hangs the system?

    - Mixer API - Need to modify my wavedev PDD to add mixer "mode" setting I am trying to modify the mixer implementation in my wavedev pdd to reflect some custom HW modifications. I have a audio jack that can be used as the headphone output via an amp from the codex or by changing some GPIO lines it can serve as a line input or mic input. Also I can redirect the input to an internal speaker by putting the device in a "bypass" mode. So I need to set a couple of "modes" if you will for my audio device. This certainly seems like a mixer feature but doesn't seem to fit in any of the predefined WPDMX_ type of messages? Any thoughts about what makes sense? Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73362

    - NDIS Protocol Driver? I have read this paragraph 5 times and I'm still not sure what it means "An NDIS protocol driver can support Transport Driver Interface (TDI) at its upper edge, or it could export a private interface to a higher-level kernel-mode driver, possibly through a transport stack of drivers, including one that supports TDI at the top of the stack. For example, an NDIS protocol driver can be the lowest module of a multi-module transport implementation of a standard protocol, such as TCP/IP, with TDI support in the highest module" http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceddk40/html/cmconprotocoldrivers.asp I know exactly what TDI is in win2000/XP and I thought winCE doesn't have a TDI support... in 2000/xp and others TDI is the interface above TCP/IP stack but it seems that in wince is bellow the TCP/IP.... could somebody please explain a bit on the paragraph... what would be a scenario that one would want an NDISProtocol with upper edge of TDI??

    - Management of flash by Win CE 5.00 filesystem Hello, I implemented a FMD to use FileSystem on a flash component. It works fine but now I want to store important data in a file. So, I use TFAT to prevent loss of data. I observed that sometime the FileSystem need to erase a complete sector of the flash and this operation is long (between 0,2s and 0,5s) due to the component timing. Is-it possible to predict when the FileSystem will have to erase a complete sector ? Is there any information available about the "garbage collector" of the FileSystem ? Is there an API available to order the FileSystem to erase now ? Thank you for your help. Laurent Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73344

I also require keyboard input to the App (but no mouse or Touch Screen). Do I select "Standard Shel" under Grapgical Shell or can I ignore all this as long as I have "Minimal GWES Config"? Thanks in advance, Stewart Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73323

    - Pretec CF-cards and FAT! Hello all, I've having problems with Pretec's industrial grade CF-cards and CE 3.0. Processor is PPC823. Cards are found but and initialized but CE cannot understang the filesystem. CE always says asks to format the card. I click 'format', no error comes to screen. Explorer founds 'Storage Card', but it cannot be write. I've tried to format the cards with XP (FAT16, I even tried FAT32), it won't work either in CE. Other question: Is there any other industrial grade flash card amnufacturers than Pretec? Sandisk doesn't make industrial grade cards anymore.

    - one device driver calling another device driver? I am developing a battery driver. Since this battery driver has to go through a I2C bus to get info from a battery monitoring chip, I need to call a I2C bus driver. This I2C driver uses standard file interface (CreateFile, DeviceIOControl, etc). When I calls CreateFile(...) to open this I2C driver, I got error saying "device not exist". Does WINCE5.0 allow such calling? If it does, can someone advise what I should check? Thanks a lot. Fan Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73315

    - System slowdown during file download w/WinCE 4.20 We have customers and testers reporting that they are seeing a system slowdown when downloading files to out WinCE 4.20 device. Basically if a fast baud rate is used (e.g. -USB, COM @ 115k) and large amounts of data are DL'd to RAM, the OS slows down during the download - screen updating, application switching, RAM ascess, etc. I remember reading an older newsgroup thread that mentioned that WinCE performs a type of "real-time defragmenting" of RAM during file download to optimize memory usage. Unfortunately, I cannot find my printed copy nor the thread on the newsgroups...and now I'm starting to doubt the contents of what the thread discussed. Can anyone confirm if the OS really is doing this "defragmenting", or point me in the direction of the thread(s)? We are trying to determine if this is behavoir inherent to the OS or to our design/code. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! Rodney Pearson Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73295

    - Hive-based Registry / release image / boot fails I am creating a 5.0 BSP. I want to persist the registry on our On-Board flash which is a 64M Disk-On-Chip. I got this to work in about ten minutes (well, close) which was of course too good to be true. When I built the release image, it didn't boot. Before you ask, the filesystem mounts perfectly in debug and release when I use RAM-based registry. And the changes to use Hive-based registry do not distinguish between Debug/Release. I wanted to debug this a bit, put debug fatfs.dll and filesys.exe in release image and tadaaa... release image boots. Fatfs.dll seems to be making the difference. With debug filesys.exe and release fatfs.dll, it hangs again. At the bottom is some debug output from release image with debug filesys.exe. Notice the "Could not create volume. Out of Memory." Normally about 45M of program memory is available in a release image, so I've no idea why I receive this. I don't have the source for coreos\filesys\heap\heap.c, maybe someone could check this (MS?). The code around line 454 might be helpful. Anyway, I'm a bit puzzled, I've tried a lot of things but I can't get this release image to boot. Regards, Piet BTW. The TrueFFS driver for the DiskOnChip is the one we used in CE 4.2. But I have no reason to believe the problem is with this driver. Debug output: (...)

    - Once more copy Hive Based Registry Hi Newsgroup, some times ago I asked about creating a copy of our hive based Registry Settings to use them like a backup from our device. We want to save all the registry entries users made on our device and want to restore them in case of a hardware failure on an alternative device. The ce devices always base on the same ETX-Processor X86 Module. We save the hive files on our CompactFlash card and work with PB4.2 on X86 platform. 1. So, why isn't it possible to simple copy the Registry Hive Directory from one device to another? 2. Why isn't it possible to save the registry with "RegSaveKey" and Restore it on the alternative device with "RegReplaceKey"? In both cases the "new" Device did not boot.

    - Audio driver help Hi, My I2S audio driver is not able to play a wave file .After I debug and compare with a working driver(evaluation board) I find that in the wave header parameter "lpnext"(passed the MDD layer) is NULL most of the times when I try to play a wave file and this leads to the driver not calling WPDM_Continue in the pdd layer and finally calls WPDM_ENDOFDATA. It looks like the wave data is broken.What could be the reason ? Thanks in advance. Krishna. Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73266

    - Urgent: SDIO Driver Hi I am trying to write a Windows CE 5.0 Client Driver for a SDIO card that my company is developing. I wonder if anyone can help me with the following questions: Am I correct in thinking that the SDIO Host Controllers in the Pocket PCs only support the 1-bit and 4-bit data transfer modes and do not support SPI? How can I find out about the SD_API_STATUS, SD_DEVICE_HANDLE and SD_INTERRUPT_CALLBACK structures? The MSDN website does not go into as much detail about them as the other SDIO structures, such as SD_COMMAND_RESPONSE. What would I need to do to process a request coming from the card to the host and not the other way around? We are using a piece of wireless technology in our SDIO cards and it may need to relay information to the Host after communicating with one of the other wireless devices. I immediately thought of using an interrupt from the card. However, the "SDIOConnectInterrupt" function definition in MSDN confused me, as there wasn't a link to a page detailing the SD_INTERRUPT_CALLBACK structure. Any help in these matters would be incredibly useful. Thank you. Oliver Tag: New SDK option fails Tag: 73259

    - Exporting C++ methods Hi, I'm porting some code from CE 4.2 to CE 5. In particular, I have a collection of DLL files that I'd like to have PB5 build when I'm building the OS. These DLLs export various interfaces, including some C++ classes. The header files from these DLLs should be included in the device SDK, so it would be most convenient to have them automatically copied to the right SDK folder during the build process. In building the DLLs themselves, I can get everything to build as a subproject of PUBLIC (building firstdll_all.lib, and then trying to link it into firstdll.dll), but I can't figure out a reasonable way to get the C++ stuff, mangled names and all, exported properly. I have no desire to try to copy the mangled names into the DEF file, but the import library created for the DLL appears to be generated only from the DEF file. Is this just a lost cause and should I forget about using PB to build this? I've looked for DLLs already shipped with PB which might export C++ interfaces, but can't find any. Thanks! Paul T.
