Hi,

I'm building an SDK for a custom platform OS design using Platform Builder 5
(Beta Build 5.00.1371). For the meanwhile I am building for an emulator BSP
only. All works fine on my development workstation: I can build the image for
the emulator, use it within PB and via an SDK I built use it within EVC4.0.
However, I've been unable to distribute the SDK sucessfully to an EVC
developers who does not have PB installed. When he tries to connect to the
emulator using the Platform Manager he gets a "Unable to connect" generic
error message.

The emulator connection is using the "Emulator Startup Server". My first
question is this: In the emulation configuration settings dialog for the
startup server, what should the "Image" drop-down read? On my workstation,
for my device, the "Connect to last emulator image launched by Platform
Builder" box is checked and the image drop-down can only read "Default
image". The emulator can be connected to using the remote tools only if the
box is checked. On an EVC only workstation, the check box is greyed. I note
for the smartphone 2003 SDK emulator device a number of images can be
selected from the image drop-down. My other question is: how do you specify
in PB the images that appear in the drop-down?
