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, point-of-sale terminals, and display devices, such as
HMI, advertisement appliances, and interactive panels.
MOXA pays attention to the requirements of Windows® developers to provide the Windows® CE
solution for the MOXA UC-7400 series ready-to-run embedded computer, including UC-7420,
UC-7410 and UC-7408. The MOXA professional kernel development experience on embedded
small footprint communication devices provides the intense technological skills required while
porting the Windows® CE 5.0 kernel.
