Hallo Remco,

Are we talking about the same file ?
I have modified C:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\CSP\X86\OAL\debug.c
(CE5.0 PC platform)

When the IoPortBase remains 0, ALL serial debug functions in this file donot
work and the port is not initialized.

Since this is not working for me, I now doubt if the code changes actually
are active in my platform. I did "build and sysgen" and see that the file is
compiled.
(Since my kernel debugger is off, I donot see any debug output from it.)
That should be enough shouldn't it ?

I know that in CE4.2 there was an option "enable deptree build" , is there
something like this in CE5 too ?
or am I missing something else ?
Or is this just the wrong file ?
I hope to be able to avoid having to debug this, since I have a zillion
other things to complete, but maybe I will have to set this up anyway when I
donot get any results soon.

Greetings,
Rob.
