Installing the WinCE6.0 development environment under Windows XP

how to compile WinCE6.0 and develop applications under Windows. The following introduction (You must ensure there is enough space on the C drive before installation! About 20g! mainly due to the installation process to be decompressed during installation):


prior to Visual Studio 2005, the development of the WinCE embedded program required the installation of Platform Builder, but Platform Builder was already integrated into Visual Studio 2005 as a plug-in.


1.
Download and install Visual Studio 2005(Visual Studio 2008 only supports development applications and cannot be used to customize the WinCE kernel). It is recommended to install under the new XP . in order to reduce the trouble in the future, I chose to install it completely.

Success Message after installation:

2.
Download Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 and install(Note assume that Visual Studio 2005 installs the Chinese version.) Then here also to choose the Chinese version of the SP1, the file name is: Vs80sp1-kb926604-x86-chs.exe. About 430Mb), during the hard drive lights flashing! It is recommended not to do anything else. otherwise very card. Almost the same as almost one hours of installation.

3.
Install the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Evaluation Edition, down from the Microsoft official website just have a Setup.exe file. is to use the way of downloading online, fortunately, very much on the next good. Key is: h8rqr-mmkrp-xfrfc-9hkgj-82r6j, able to use the default configuration (in the CE6.0 Operating system only to select the ARMV4i can be, do not choose the other Operating system)


4.
Install Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1, which should be an MSI file. Around 56Mb




5.
Install Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2. There are two files. One is Ce6r2.iso (1.9

G) and one is Setup.exe (for online installation). We can download the Ce6r2.iso and then open it directly in the virtual CD drive.

The Setup.exe can be installed. After we open Visual Studio 2005, we will see "Platform Builder for CE 6.0" on the launch screen after the installation is complete.

6. Install Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0--Standalone Release,





7. Install virtual PC

Note: All of the above can be downloaded from Microsoft website!

After some of the above toss, finally put wince development environment installed. The following are all the files that are used for the installation. Probably a total of 4g installation files from the official website. All loaded, C disk needs about 12g of space.

Assuming all goes well, the entire installation process will last for about 6 hours:

The following describes how to compile the wince kernel:

1.

Open Visual Studio 2005. Click on the file--new--Project and select " Platform Builder for CE 6.0". On the right side of the template, select " OS Design" and click Next. Since we do not have the equipment at hand, select device emulator:armv4iin the BSP (Board support Packages) and DEsign templates in the selection PDA Deviceand select it in the design Template varients. Mobile Handheld, then choose some applications based on your own situation. I'm here to keep the default. Then in the network section also remains the default, so that you can, click Finish. Then there will be a security warning prompt, ignore, direct acknowledge.

To compile our kernel: Right-click the project, in the general of the properties can be set debug mode or Release mode, debug mode is larger. Will output some debug information when the kernel executes. Here we select debug mode and disable the Enable KITL in the build options(otherwise, the emulator will be black!). ）。 The final generation of our solution will be able to. My Intel dual-core machine almost identical to compile for about half an hour or so.

Pop-up warning message, don't bother

Just to say, I did not pass the first compile time, in the WinCE installation folder in the Build.log have such as the following sentence: Error Sysgen0000:error (s) in Sysgen phase. Later Google a bit, in the menu generated-->advanced build Commands-->clean Sysgen, and then the compilation was successful.

Put a picture:

Here's how to do this in the emulator:

After compiling, click menu Target-->connectivity Options, set the mode (set Download,transport and debugger)

Click Apply. Then close will be able to.

Click menu Target-->attach Devices. Wait a few minutes. The WinCE interface will appear in the simulator:

We open the device Emulator Manager on the Tools menu. Right-click Pocket PC 2003 SE Square VGA emulator and select Connect. To open the emulator for Pocket PC 2003:

Open emulators such as the following:

Right-click Smartphone 2003 SE QVGA emulator. Select Connect to open the emulator for Smartphone 2003:

Open emulators such as the following:
