What is Windows CE? Microsoft’s Embedded Operating System … designed for “small” devices Virtual Memory, Multithreaded Completely 32 bit Real-time performance Uses a subset of the Win 32 API Win 32 defined by Windows XP Legacy APIs removed Less of a subset every version Over 2, 000 functions

What is Windows CE? Componentizable OEMs define what parts of the OS to use Over 500 components available Multiple CPU architectures supported SH 4, MIPs, x 86, ARM OS is CPU agnostic Not dependent on x 86 compatible PCs Not dependent on PC memory map Not dependent on specific PC hardware

Windows CE Architecture OEM Microsoft ISV, OEM Applications Embedded Shell Remote Connectivity Windows CE Shell Services WIN 32 APIs COREDLL, WINSOCK, OLE, COMMCTRL, COMMDLG, WININET, TAPI Kernel Library OAL Bootloader GWES Drivers Device Manager File System Manager Device drivers File drivers OEM Hardware Ir. DA TCP/IP

Windows CE Shared Source Program Shared Source Public Access to over 2. 5 M lines of source code Ability to create commercial derivatives Available in all versions of Windows CE worldwide Academic edition for courseware creation Shared Source Premium More source available Ability to create commercial derivatives Limited access Available only in eligible countries

Feature Comparison x 86 Emulator Instruction set is a subset of the host PC’s instruction set Emulates a CEPC board: ISA, PCI busses, basic video, keyboard, mouse, audio, network adapter, etc. Extends the CEPC, adding Folder Sharing, “DMA” interface, and resizable display Device Emulator ARM 920 TDMI instructions Samsung SMDK 2410 board: PCMCIA, NAND Flash, LCD, touchscreen, NE 2000 and CS 8900 netcards, keyboard, 3 UARTs, audio Extends the SMDK 2410, adding resizable display, “DMA” interface, resizable RAM (up to 256 meg) Faster, more robust Folder Sharing Runs on 64 -bit Windows

Mixed Projects Possible to mix & match native & managed projects in one solution Be sure to target the same platform. . . Build order, dependencies, deployment dirs, etc. , can be specified No seamless debugging at this point Can't attach native & managed debugger at the same time Set reg key to enable attaching the managed debugger to a running process

What's next? CF 2. 0 support for Win. CE 4. 2 no tools support, though. . . Win. CE 5. 0 device emulator image & BSP for PB 5. 0 Device emulator v 2+ Better integration b/w PB & VS

Emulator v 2+ Break apart the monolith Device. Emulator. exe into a collection of DLLs Pluggable CPU emulators Pluggable motherboard emulators Pluggable peripheral devices Layer the peripheral device emulation code One virtual device can have multiple Windows-side implementations i. e. , emulated 16550 UART could plug into code that binds to a Windows COMx: port, or to a Windows file, or to a console window Virtual USB and PCMCIA devices plug into virtual controllers Testability – COM interfaces to give test automation access the emulator’s peripherals
