Re: IPSM under Windows CE 4.2 on StrongArm 1100 CPU

It's not in PB. You have to get it from Intel. Since, when you get it from
Intel, you also get Premier support, you should ask them for the official
line on which version works with SA1100. Are you saying that the exception
occurs before your PLAT_DefineArrayParameters() function is called even
once?

Hello,

I have tried and tried to get the IPSM 3.7 and 3.8 to work on my old
StrongArm SA1100 and Intel Strata flash based system with Windows CE 4.2.
It never starts and the debug fails with an "illegal instruction" at an
instruction right at the start of the IPSM initialisation code.

The instruction is "bx lr" and I assume this is an Xscale instruction that
then fails on my StrongArm...

Does anyone know what was the last version of the IPSM 3.6 or 2.6? to
support strongarm CPUs and that someone got working with Windows CE 4.2.
I have asked Intel in the USA and the UK, neither have been able to answer
me.

Interestingly, by confusing me further is that this web page says that
IPSm is included in Windows CE 4.2, but the Microsoft documentation on the
Platform Builder installation says that it is not hthere and I can't find
it.

Thanks
