Hello,
I have development board with intel atom z5xx processor . I have built X86 BSP for my board.
I want to bring windows ce 6.0 on my board. I have made bootable floppy disk using makeimagedisk.exe utility. Problem is after execution of loadcepc.exe, i'm getting a message- Jumping to address 0Xdddddddd; and after this nothing happening. so WinCe is not booting up.
Help me to bring Windows Ce on this.
Regards
AGG

Hi, for an Atom processor, I would recommend to use the ATOM BSP rather than the basic CEPC one. You can find it on Adeneo's Web site: www.adeneo-embedded.com/.../show

I'm confused, can you tell me the steps to bring up wince 6.0 on my X86 based device with Atom processor.
I'm very new to this.. Please help me to port WINCE6 on X86 based device.
Thanks
Well let me point you to some online training material, as explaining the full process would make for a full article :-).
So take a look at MSDN, there you will find all the training material you need to get started with CE: msdn.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx

Hi Olivier Bloch ,
Thanks for your replay, Now i'm running Nk.bin directly on my x86 device using USB. I want to use CF card on my device, but not able generate correct eboot.bin,
This is spec of my Device
- X86 platform
- atom Z5xx processor
- RTL E100
when i run my eboot.bin, this is the display on hyperterminal.

It seems your eboot is configured to use fixed IP address (it seems to be using an IP address already used on your Network) and also seems to be confiured to boot an image from the Network, not from local storage.
usually the CF card is seen as an IDE drive from which you can boot. You can setup the BIOs of the x86 machine to boot from this IDE drive.
Let me recommend you to prepare your CF card using the tool diskprep referenced in this previous blog post, it will allow you to prepare the CF card to boot your nk.bin file: blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-setup-a-virtual-machine-to-run-windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx
Hi Oliver,
Now i'm booting my nk.bin from USB successfully. Now i want to boot that nk.bin from CF card. can you tell me how to proceed.
And another problem is i'm not able to enable Ethernet driver, i have RTL8139 ethernet card. Please help me.
Best Regards
Akash G
@Akash follow the instructions in my previous comment for CF boot, you should be good.
For the Ethernet driver, the RTL driver should be available in the catalog. you might need to change the regitry settings for it.
