Part 2 – Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Installation
This latest version Windows Embedded CE 6.0 (“CE 6.0”) Platform Builder is a plug-in to
Visual Studio 2005 (“VS2005”), take advantage of VS2005 IDE & tools.
Board-Support-Package (“BSP”) consists of all necessary CE 6.0 device drivers and hardware
abstraction library for the hardware is needed by PB to create OS Design and build CE 6.0 image
for the hardware. ICOP_Vortex86_60CS BSP is provided as part of this jumpstart kit to create
OS Design and build CE 6.0 image for eBox-2300.
Corecon is the component needed to establish link between eBox-2300 and VS2005
development station for the purpose of developing CE 6.0 application and download the
application onto eBox-2300 for testing and debug.
For Windows XP development station, it’s recommended to install VS2005, CE 6.0 and BSP in
the following sequences.
1. Visual Studio 2005
2. Visual Studio 2005 SP1
3. Windows Embedded CE 6.0
4. BSPs
For Windows Vista development station, it’s recommended to install VS2005, CE 6.0 and BSP
in the following sequences.
1. Visual Studio 2005
2. Visual Studio 2005 SP1
3. Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Vista
4. Windows Embedded CE 6.0
5. BSPs
Platform Builder Installation
Platform Builder (“PB”) is the tool used to configure and build CE 6.0 OS images. To install
PB, Visual Studio 2005 (“VS2005”) must already be installed onto the develop station. While
PB installation does not require VS2005 SP1 to installed, it’s required to install SDK generated
by PB for the OS Design to support CE 6.0 application development using VS2005.
By default, PB installation program only selects and includes ARMV4I CPU support with the
installation. eBox-2300 is an x86 device. X86 CPU support must be installed with PB to use the
ICOP_Vortex86_6CS BSP and build CE 6.0 image for eBox-2300.
