I'm currently having problems with a Philips USB host chip connected to my
Prolificx Eagle 250 ARM4 (Intel XScale) WinCE system.

Philips have provided the source code for the host chip driver and this gets
built into the WinCE image by Prolificx, who then pass the image to us for
programming the board with.

However, we are having problems that are specific to our hardware setup and
Philips have suggested breakpointing a specific CPP file and debugging from
there. Obviously, we cant do this with the image as it is (at least, that's
what I believe to be the case).

Prolificx have suggested that it may be possible to have the driver code run
within Embedded Visual C as part of our test application and debug it from
there, rather than use the pre-compiled driver that comes as part of the
image. However, they are unaware of exactly how to do this or if it is
actually possible to actually do so.

Does anyone know how to do this, or if it is actually possible?
