Re: Question on Tutorial: Building a Run-Time Image for the Emulat

Hello Paul,

Yes, the tutorial was mentioning the use of Build and Sysgen. It is ok now :)

Are you aware of a plan to update the X86 emulator similar to the Windows CE
Arm emulator being offered that can be deployed to from VS2005?

Thanks again for your help :)

Not specifically. The error suggests that, for some reason, something is
trying to build that folder in oak\misc, which doesn't include any
BUILD-able items. What build command are you using to get that? Sysgen?
or the wrong one, Build and Sysgen?

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your help :)

I did install the updates and worked through the tutorial.

Once I tried to attach to the device, I received an error regarding the
nk.bin file could not be found.

I checked the build.err file and noticed the following:

Windows CE Version (Release) (Built on Mar 1 2004 21:46:39)
makefile.def: Invoked with predefined settings:
TARGETNAME: dummy
TARGETTYPE: dummy
RELEASETYPE:
TARGETLIBS:
SOURCELIBS:
makefile.def: BUILDROOT is C:\WINCE500\public\netcfv2\cesysgen
0 Please add _COMMONPUBROOT and __PROJROOT to your tree's cesysgen\sources
file.
C:\WINCE500\public\common\oak\misc\makefile.def(165) : fatal error U1052:
file '.\sources.' not found
Stop.

Any thoughts as to why this error occured?

Thanks again for your help :)

So, you haven't applied the Quick Fix Engineering updates to the OS and
PB,
then? Go to www.microsoft.com/embedded. Click Windows CE in the menu
along
the left. Find the Windows CE and Platform Builder 5.0 Updates link
along
the right side of the resulting page. Download all of the updates that
are
for 5.0 and apply them from oldest to newest. .NET CF 2.0 will appear
(don't forget to exit PB before installing the QFEs, though).

Hello Paul,

I downloaded the eval copy of the Platform Builder so as not to disturb
my
team while I am testing. I did have the proper options but
unfortunately
I
have a new problem that for the tutorial that Mike Hall has, I can't
find
the
Catalog listing for the Compact Framework 2.0, only the 1.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help :)

No, the BSPs for the emulator and CEPC (an x86 BSP for an ordinary
PC),
are
both on the Platform Builder disks and are brought in, depending on
what
processors are selected. Go to Add/Remove Programs, choose Microsoft
Windows CE 5.0 and choose Change, then Modify. Looking at the tree of
options, make sure that, under Windows CE 5.0 Operating System,
Emulator
is
chosen. You can separately choose x86, if you want, too, but Emulator
is
the piece you're missing right now.

Hello Paul,

I rechecked with our Platform Builder people and we don't seem to
have
the
BSP for the x86 processor support.

We only have the BSPs from Advantech listed.

Is there somewhere we can download the missing BSP?

Thanks for your help :)

You didn't install support for it, then. You need to install the
x86
processor support...

Hello All,

In the following tutorial:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceintro5/html/wce50tuttutorialstep1creatingacustomosimagefortheemulator.asp

On tutorial step 1, item 5, there is the following mentioned:

From the list of available board support packages (BSPs)
installed
on
your
development workstation, select EMULATOR: X86 and choose Next.

One or our Platform-Builder users check our Platform-Builder
and
we
don't
have this option.

Any ideas would be appreciated as we are looking to get this
working
quickly.

Thanks in advance :)
