Ever wondered what's meant by the term "SDK," and how it applies to Windows CE or Windows Mobile device development? Sue Loh has posted another great article on the CE Base Team Blog explaining what an SDK is, and how SDKs have evolved with the release of Windows CE 6. http://blogs.msdn.com/ce_base...

The key to fixing a bug discovered in the field is accurate information about the system's state when the bug manifests itself. Check out Abraham Kcholi and Gad Meir’s whitepaper on Windows for Devices where they show how the Windows CE Error Reporting module can be used to retrieve that information...

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 introduced a new, "third generation" kernel. Unsurprisingly, changes to the kernel architecture have impacted the way system software such as drivers and servers access memory. Sue Loh has put together yet another great whitepaper that explains the new memory access procedures...

WindowsForDevices has some really great stuff this week... You may have seen the Juggs Ravalia interview , on the CE 6.0 driver model that I posted a while back. Sue Loh has written a great whitepaper that puts more substance around porting device drivers from CE 5 to CE 6 and explains how they...

So by now, you probably know that the Windows CE 6.0 kernel offers a vastly expanded address space along with many more processes than the Windows CE 5.0 kernel. But what is the significance of all this to the embedded developer, in terms of system performance, reliability, and security? Check...

Although it is neither seen or touched by the user, Low-level, flash filesystem software provides critical functionality on many mobile devices, ensuring that data can be written to the storage media, accessed by the user, and read on demand. Check out this great whitepaper which discusses the issues...

I've just been looking at the CE 6.0 Launch Technical Sessions and Virtual Labs. The labs are really cool, no need to install any tools just register, sign-in, launch and learn. Access to the sessions and labs listed below is available by signing in here with a Windows Live ID, which may be obtained...

Mike Hall covered this in a recent Blog post here . Given that Windows Embedded CE 6.0 introduces a third-generation kernel architecture , it's natural to wonder whether application binaries built for CE 5.0 will run on CE 6.0. Windows Embedded technical product manager Mike Hall has addressed this...

Recently remembered this post from Mike Hall's blog a while back ( http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2004/12/22/331034.aspx ). Still a really good read... I will NEVER use Windows CE or Windows XP Embedded !!! That’s quite a strong statement, right ? – so why wouldn’t I use Windows CE or Windows...

The new kernel architecture of Windows CE 6.0 includes changes in the device driver model. Check out Mike Hall interviewing Juggs Ravalia, of the Windows CE development team, to learn more. Prior to CE 6, device drivers ran under the control of the device driver manager, in one of the 32 process slots...
