Does this mean, in some way, that KITL over USB serial and ActiveSync are
mutually exclusive?
Yes, I think that KITL over USB and ActiveSync are mutually exclusive. I
suppose that it would be possible to have different 'channels' for the two
communications streams, but I've not heard that anything that sophisticated
was done.
Of course,
you'll want to generate an SDK for the device and install that SDK, so
that
VS2005, in application development mode, knows about it, and you'll want
to
be sure to turn on ActiveSync as one of the transports when you generate
the
SDK.
This is one thing I'm trying to get a grasp on. I must say it's definitely
not clear to me (from the documentation) if and how "Target Device
Connectivity Options" settings are related to SDK generation. Any pointer
to
some resource?
It's all experience stuff, not really documented so far as I know. Since
there are various ways to connect to devices, the SDK generation allows you
to choose only some of those as making sense for your device. For example,
if you have no Ethernet, there's no value in having the Manual Server
Platform Manager option, so why include it? It would only confuse SDK
users. In my case, I have no USB device connection, so I don't include USB.
This causes some pieces that would otherwise go into the SDK (the
communication DLLs), to be left out, but the real advantage of excluding
things that you don't use is simplicity for the users of the SDK.
