BSP bringup in WinCE 6.0

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I am new to WinCE and have been asked to bring up WinCE 6.0 on a new
motherboard. My experience in WinCE is basically bringing up the standard
x86 BSP on an old Dell computer where I didn't have to modify any drivers to
get it to work.

The motherboard I'm using is an ECS P965T-A with the following components:

Northbridge: Intel P965
Southbridge: Intel ICH8
LAN: Realtek RTL8110SC
Audio: Realtek ALC883

It also has a 500MB SATA drive attached.

I've gotten the system to boot by cloning the x86 BSP and putting in an old
3Com network card for now. Once I boot the system I have no motherboard
network access, no audio, and no HDD support. I've also found that if I
include "ATAPI PCI Support" in the catalog, the mouse and keyboard will
freeze after the system boots.

So I think I need to create/get working drivers for the Southbridge, LAN,
and audio chipsets. I've downloaded the data sheets, but this being my first
foray into WinCE I having trouble figuring out where to begin.

If anyone would be kind enough to offer any pointers for getting myself up
to speed and productive, I would greatly appreciate it.
