Re: I/O plus Encoder card compatible with windows ce

Ah! Now I follow you. When you're a PCI device, you have to spend a lot
more effort to interface with the bus driver for PCI. With ISA devices,
well, you just kind of set their base address and interrupt to whatever and
just act from the driver as though there's no bus there at all.

You might look at pcicfg.cpp in the ATAPI driver in
common\oak\drivers\block. Of course, you have the source for the PCI bus
driver, too, so you can look in on that.

As far as finding suitable hardware/drivers, I think that your best chance
is a Web search with "windows ce" in the strings.

Thank you Paul,

The real problme is that I havent been able to write the driver yet. The
cards that came did not have driversi only for WinXP and open source linux
drivers. Writing the is proving to be too time consuming as I can not yet
see
the light at the end of the tunnel. So it might wiser to just buy
something
off the shelf that works.

The reason I bought the cards was that we previously had the ISA versions
and then decided to purchase PCI ones. I was able to access the ISA ones
with
ease. However the PCI ones are not so easy. The ISA version functions well
and I have the code written for it.

I might be able to write a driver if some one can provide a sample PCI io
dirver. The WAV driver is a bit too complicated to begin with.


So... As time is running out I am looking for alternatives.

Thank you.

So, you have to have PCI-based cards with that set of I/O and with
Windows
CE x86 drivers. What exactly is going wrong? It's probably the fault of
your BSP, not of the driver, although you can't rule anything out. I
think
that the best chance is that you'll tell us something about what's going
on
and we'll spot what your BSP might be doing wrong.

We have some devices that modularly add encoder and digital inputs and
outputs to a base unit that runs Windows CE, but none of it is PCI, so,
if
you're attached to your processor, our stuff won't help you...

Does any one know of any IO cards that are compatible with windows ce.
When I
mean compatible I dont mean if you try hard enough you may be able to
write a
driver for it. I mean the manufacturer supports ce and provides you
with
the
drivers etc.

What I am after is this. I have a x86 system that I have up and running
on
a
advantech AIMB-762 motherboard and P4 processor. Basically a desktop
computer. That I have running with windows CE.

The modules that I need to add are:
12 encoder inputs
24 digital inputs
12 analog outputs.
12 digital outputs.

All these can be evidently on several io cards.

We purchased some HUMUSOFT MF624 cards for this but the damn things are
refusing to function.

Any help would be vastly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
Teoman
