Re: Epia Mini-ITX ce installation

Hi,

since you say (simulate version), I suppose you get that message when you
run your apllication on the CE simulator, or maybe even when you try to
start the simulator.

Windows CE doesn't use a swap file the same way XP or 2000 does. So, the
free size on your harddisk doesn't matter.

Normally the Emulator emulates a device with 32MB ram memory. The CE image
(NK.BIN) is loaded in that memory. So, if you have a image that is bigger
than 32MB, it surely will give such behavour. The remaining mmory (32MB -
image size) is divided into two pieces. One piece is the object store, the
other is used as program memory. In your control panel , under system,
memory, you find a slider that makes it possible to change the way the
memory is divided.
You can see the object store as a ramdisk.

Under "Platform Builder", "Target", "connectivity options", "Emulator
settings", you can adjust the amount of ram that is emulated. If you build
your application outside platform builder, you will need to tell (like to
eVC) which emulator to use. This topic has been discussed recently on this
newsgroup.

The explorer.exe is responsible for the screen layout. If during the bootup,
there is a error that stops the boot phase, than it is possible that
explorer is not loaded at all. In that case, your screen will remain black.
If your video driver is not starting properly, you will have a black screen
as well. Thats why you need the debug output to find out what's really going
on during the boot process.

A debug CE image is roughly about twice the size of a retail image. You will
reach the 32MB barrier fast with debug images.

Ok i now know what the problem is i get the sign not enough memory on
local
machine ... what does this mean (simulate version) harddrive got enough
free
memory. but do i need more ram memory??

is that why the screen turns black???

Hi,

if your image doesn't start up, you might make a debug build version and
catch the messages that come out of the debug serial port to see what
goes
wrong. You will only need a NULL modem cable to do this. Without this
information, nobody on this newsgroup will be able to tell you what's
going
wrong, unless some have a glass bol.
