Re: Concerning the Platform Builder Emulator

I can't target the device emulator from CoDeSys. I can only target the
device. Can I run those binaries in the device emulator?

Can you or can't you run ARMV4I binaries built with other tools than Visual
Studio just by transferring them to the emulator and double-clicking them.

1. From VS2005, you can target the Device Emulator, which runs ARMV4I
binaries. This is a new emulator, different than the x86-based emulator
that shipped in VS2003, PB 5.0 and earlier products. The DeviceEmulator
ships with VS2005 and is the default target when you create new projects for
PocketPC and Smartphone.

2. Yes, the emulator can bind to a serial port on the host PC. If you want
to link back to the PC, you need to have two COM ports on the PC and a
serial cable to connect the two together. The emulator uses one COM port
and the app on the host PC uses the other. There are some 3rd party
applications which virtual serial ports, and they may work in place of the
two hardware COM ports and cable.

3. No, the Device Emulator in VS 2005 does not have brightness/contrast
emulation. The new DeviceEmulator 2.0 that ships with Windows CE 6.0 does,
and you'll see those features appear in the next VS release.

If you have more questions about the Device Emulator, you might want to

I know you can build projects in VS 2005 for the Platform Builder Emulator.
Is it somehow possible to extend the emulator in some way so you can run
binary files compiled for the ARMV4I processor in the emulator. I'm pretty
sure you can't, but is there some other emulator where that's possible?

If you access a serial port or a CAN-interface of the emulator is it
possible to link that back to the PC? If you have a device and a PC
communicating through a serial cable how do you emulate that situation in
the
emulator?

There are brightness controls on the device how do you emulate those
buttons
in the emulator?
