Thank you Paul!


Do you mean if I am using eVC3/4, I could copy binary code from/to simulator
to/from real x86 device?

And also, in Visual Studio 2005, I could also copy binary code for the
specific processor type of from/to simulator to/from the related specific
processor type of read device?

George

There are two types of emulators floating around. eVC always used the
x86-based emulator (it acted like an x86 processor running the OS type that
you were trying to simulate). VS has the ability to use the ARM emulator
which emulates not only the device, at the level of the operating system,
but also the very processor in that device; it allows you to run an
application compiled for the ARM-based device, just as though it was running
on the real device.

Thank you Chris!


Your reply answered my question. I just want to confirm one thing, you
mentioned "the new tools that use Device Emulator 1.0", do you mean the
simulator in Visual Studio 2005?

Since I think in embedded VC3/4, there are only one type of simulator
(means
you can not select CPU architecture type). Am I correct?

With the new tools that use Device Emulator 1.0, if you are targeting ARM
architecture, yes it is the same. That doesn't mean you can get away
without actual on-hardware testing though.

Hello everyone,


I am wondering whether the generated binary code on Visual Studio
integrated
mobile simulator is the same as that of real device (for example, real
HP
ARM
iPAD)?

Is the answer to the question (binary code on simulator is the same as
that
of read device) the same to all Microsoft mobile development IDE --
embedded
VC 3/4 and Visual Studio 2005?


thanks in advance,
George
