Chapter 1 Introduction
Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 is an open, scalable, 32-bit operating system (OS) that allows you
to build a wide range of innovative, small footprint devices. A typical Windows® CE-based device
is designed for a specific use, and often runs disconnected from other computers, or distributed as
a front-end to a centralized host. Examples include enterprise tools, such as industrial controllers,
communications hubs, and point-of-sale terminals, and display devices, such as HMI,
advertisement appliances, and interactive panels.
The ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE series of ready-to-run embedded computers includes the 8-port
DA-660-8-CE and the 16-port DA-660-16-CE.
