Yes I have cec file which I import from "Manage Catalogue Items" ..
I am re-installing PB as I think I have installed tools only.
I guess Sysgen will be disabled in tools only mode ?

You say yes, but then go on to discuss an unrelated topic (cec file) which
makes me wonder if you actually created a PBWorkspace (File\New Project).

But wait, tools only means that you can't possibly sysgen. Sysgen will
build the OS using the files that you didn't install, so of course it
doesn't work. A BSP can only be build as part of a bigger OS project.

Hi ,

Let me explain what all I have done..
I have a developement board and then I got the BSP .
I opened PB and then File->ManageCatalogue Items, then I imported the cec
file which come with the BSP.


Now I did New Platform , I which I selected the BSP ( whose cec file I have
exported)...and then finish..
At this point I should be able to do "sysgen" right ? But this is not
working ..
Also I tried adding driver from Catalogue Item ->Third Party->BSP
still no luck,,,

the same thing work on my colleagues setup..
Please help ...

Did you install the source code with Platform Builder? You can't build if
you did tools only.

You have to set the build root. Go to Tools->Options->Build Tab, uncheck
Tools only and select a Default OS build tree (WINCEROOT). Usually this
is C:\WINCE500


Good luck,
