wow .....
Finally Anyhow I could change some settings in the BIOS and now MY CEPC is
getting booted from USB Drive.

1.      Copy following files:
        CONFIG.SYS      (from DOS boot folder)
        HIMEM.SYS       (from DOS boot folder)
        Autoexec.bat    
        loadcepc.exe
        NK.bin

2.      Modify the Autoexec.bat. Add
                loadcepc /V NK.bin

3.      I could see the something is getting downloaded. once its completed, it
shows the “Jumping to 0x00226D10” and it restart the machine.

4. I have selected only IMGRAM64=1, IMGCELOGINABLE=1. No KITL and No kernel
debugger.

I searched for the solution of "Jumping to" proble. I could see many post
regarding the same. Then I tried to get the messages in hyper terminal, I did
not get anything while booting up.

I will try again to get the output on COM1 (on hyper terminal). If anybody
could help me where I may be wrong, just let me know. I will update if I
could succeeded.

Thanks for any support.

Still trying hard .....

If anybody feels any drawback in my procedure, plz let me know. or having

Yes, "Legacy USB Support" is enabled.

I wanted to know the procedure I am following is proper or not? I might be
missing something!!!! When I use the same bootable USB drive to boot my
workstation, it boots the DOS. But when I connect with CEPC, it says
"Operating System not found".

Thanks for looking into my query .....

It seems like BIOS issue.

Do you have something like "USB legacy support" enabled? Search for
option that enables USB in BIOS.

Hi,

I went through the post you suggested. I am doing the same thing, as:

1. Created a image without KITL and debugger. (So that I can directly
download the image, no debugging required this time).

2. Created a bootable (FAT32) USB flash drive by using "HP USB Disk Storage
Format Tool" and copied the NK.bin + loadcepc.exe+ autoexec.bat files

3. Modified the autoexec.bat by adding:
                loadcepc /v nk.bin

4. Changed the "Boot" settings in BIOS as:
          Removable Device
          CD-ROM drive
          IBA FE Slot
          Hard Drive

I hope this "Removable Device" option indicate the "USB HDD" because there
is no separate option for "Boot from USB Drive"

5. As I reboot the CEPC, it says "Operating System not found"..

6. Even I tried to boot simply DOS in my CEPC (using USB flash drive), again
it says "Operating System not found".

I am not able to get where I am doing wrong.

I check the BIOS of my CEPC
in Boot section it shows option (in sequence):

Removable Device
CD-ROM drive
IBA FE Slot
Hard Drive

So I feel my CEPC supports boot from USB Flas drive as it has the option of
"Removable Device". I do not have any documentation of the CEPC, so getting
the difficulties.

Let me know I m getting wrong.

For what you want to do there's no difference between CE 6.0 and CE 5.0: you
still have loadcepc, eboot, biosloader...
If you have not used PB before you should at least read 'How to Configure

Hi,

I have installed PB6.0 and want to do some R&D over that. I have a CEPC
which originally have WinCE 5.0 OS in it. I want to develop and load a
sample
CE6.0 image. I could do this with device emulator. But in case of CEPC,
not
able to do. Could anybody tell me that:

1. What are the steps I should follow to load and boot the nk..bin in the
CEPC?
2. What are the h/w requirements for CE6.0 image to be uploaded in CEPC?
3. What are the different ways to can load and boot the image?

Is there any document which could guide me step by step (as I am new in
WinCE 6.0) to do this all.

Thanks you.

Hi Rahul,

I think you should start again from the beginning to narrow the
problem a little. I would have recommended that you try booting the
USb on a standard PC but you have tried that already and it worked so
you are back to the board itself.

The first thing to do is to eliminate all the CE files (nk.bin,
loadcepc and your edited autoexec.bat) from the problem. Re-format the
USB key using the HP tool but this time format it as just FAT (i.e.
FAT16, not FAT 32) and load the DOS boot files as you did earlier.

Do you have more than one USB controller on the board? Some boards
will only boot from the southbridge which might be limited to USB 1..1.
A separate chip may provide USB 2.0 capability and may not be
bootable. Try switching the port that you are booting from. Try them
all!

See how you get on with that first.

What is the type and version of your BIOS? You can see this string
when you boot or possibly on the main BIOS screen when you first enter
the BIOS. It does indeed sound as though it does not support booting
from the USB key.

The "Jumping to ..." text is the verbose output of loadcepc and it
tells you the address of where the code is going to next execute. Your
image is at least loading so that's the first problem solved. What
settings did you change?
There are many reasons why your image does not boot from this point
and it is probably better to create a new post so that experts in that
area will see it. In the meantime can you create a debug image and
have a look at the output as it boots? Having an image running in the
emulator is very different to having it run on actual hardware. Do
have support for USB and mass storage in the image? Is your graphics
hardware driver present from the BSP?
