Windows CE

I.MX - Windows CE 1 Freescale i.MX development kits include Windows CE|WinCE.

Windows (operating system) - Windows CE 1 Windows CE (officially known as Windows Embedded Compact), is an edition of Windows that runs on Handheld PC|minimalistic computers, like satellite navigation systems and some mobile phones. Windows Embedded Compact is based on its own dedicated kernel, dubbed Windows CE kernel. Microsoft licenses Windows CE to OEMs and device makers. The OEMs and device makers can modify and create their own user interfaces and experiences, while Windows CE provides the technical foundation to do so.

Windows (operating system) - Windows CE 1 Windows CE was used in the Dreamcast along with Sega's own proprietary OS for the console. Windows CE was the core from which Windows Mobile was derived. Its successor, Windows Phone 7, was based on components from both Windows Embedded CE 6.0|Windows CE 6.0 R3 and Windows Embedded Compact 7|Windows CE 7.0. Windows Phone 8 however, is based on the same NT-kernel as Windows 8.

Handheld PC - Windows CE 1 The intent of Windows CE was to provide an environment for applications compatible with the Microsoft Windows operating system, on processors better suited to low-power operation in a portable device

Handheld PC - Windows CE 1 To be classed as a Windows CE Handheld PC, the device must

Handheld PC - Windows CE 1 *Be bundled with an application suite only found through an OEM Platform Release and not in Windows CE itself

Handheld PC - Windows CE 1 Microsoft stopped developing for the Handheld PC in 2000, instead focusing development on the Pocket PC and Windows Mobile. However, compatible hardware continued to be produced for many years afterwards. HP and Sharp both discontinued their Windows CE HPCs in 2002, while NEC was last to leave the market in However, some manufacturers abandoned the format even before Microsoft did, such as Philips and Casio.

Handheld PC - Windows CE 1 Other handheld PCs may not use Windows CE. Windows CE devices which match all of the hardware requirements of the H/PC specification but lack a keyboard are known as Windows Tablet PC|Windows CE Tablet PC or Internet tablet devices.

Blue Screen of Death - Windows CE 1 The simplest version of the blue screen occurs in Windows CE except the versions for Pocket PC. The blue screen in Windows CE 3.0 is similar to the one in Windows 95 and 98.

Windows CE 1 'Microsoft Windows CE' (now officially known as 'Windows Embedded Compact' and previously also known as 'Windows Embedded CE', and sometimes abbreviated 'WinCE') is an operating system developed by Microsoft for embedded systems. Windows CE is a distinct operating system and Kernel (computing)|kernel, rather than a trimmed-down version of desktop Windows. It is not to be confused with Windows Embedded Standard which is an Windows NT|NT-based componentized version of desktop Microsoft Windows.

Windows CE - Features 1 Windows CE conforms to the definition of a real-time operating system, with a deterministic interrupt latency

Windows CE - Features 1 Microsoft says the letters instead imply a number of Windows CE design precepts, including Compact, Connectable, Compatible, Companion, and Efficient

Windows CE - Features 1 Windows CE even powered select games for the Dreamcast, was the operating system of the Gizmondo handheld, and can partially run on modified Xbox (console)|Xbox game consoles.

Windows CE - Features 1 Then products like Platform Builder (an integrated environment for Windows CE OS image creation and integration, or customized operating system designs based on CE) offered several components in source code form to the general public

Windows CE - Visual Studio 1 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and earlier support projects for older releases of Windows CE / Windows Mobile, producing executable programs and platform images either as an emulator or attached by cable to an actual mobile device

Windows CE - Free Pascal and Lazarus 1 Free Pascal introduced the Windows CE port in Version2.2.0, targeting ARM and x86 architectures. Later, the Windows CE header files were translated for use with Lazarus (software)|Lazarus, a rapid application development (RAD) software package based on Free Pascal. Windows CE applications are designed and coded in the Lazarus integrated development environment (IDE) and compiled with an appropriate cross compiler.[ nCE_port WinCE port] - Lazarus wiki

Windows CE - Others 1 The Embedded system|Embedded Visual C++ (eVC) — a programming tool|tool for development of embedded applications for Windows CE. It can be used standalone using the Software development kit|SDK exported from Platform Builder or using the Platform Builder's Platform Manager connectivity setup.

Windows CE - Others 1 Basic4ppc — a programming language similar to Visual Basic — targets the.NET Compact Framework and supports Windows CE and Windows Mobile devices.

Windows CE - Others 1 GLBasic — a very easy to learn and use BASIC dialect that compiles for many platforms, including Windows CE and Windows Mobile. It can be extended by writing inline C/C++ code.

Windows CE - Others 1 LabVIEW — a graphical programming language, supporting many platforms, including Windows CE.

Windows CE - Others 1 AutoHotkey — a port of the open source macro-creation and automation software utility available for Windows CE. It allows the construction of macros and simple GUI applications developed by systems analyst Jonathan Maxian Timkang.[ keyCE/html/index.htm] — AutoHotkeyCE

Windows CE - Relationship to Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and SmartPhone 1 Windows CE is a modular/componentized operating system that serves as the foundation of several classes of devices

Windows CE - Relationship to Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and SmartPhone 1 Windows Mobile is best described as a subset of platforms based on a Windows CE underpinning. Currently, Pocket PC (now called Windows Mobile Classic), SmartPhone (Windows Mobile Standard), and Pocket PC Phone Edition (Windows Mobile Professional) are the three main platforms under the Windows Mobile umbrella. Each platform uses different components of Windows CE, plus supplemental features and applications suited for their respective devices.

Windows CE - Relationship to Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and SmartPhone 1 Pocket PC and Windows Mobile are Microsoft-defined custom platforms for general PDA use, consisting of a Microsoft- defined set of minimum profiles (Professional Edition, Premium Edition) of software and hardware that is supported. The rules for manufacturing a Pocket PC device are stricter than those for producing a custom Windows CE-based platform. The defining characteristics of the Pocket PC are the touchscreen as the primary human interface device and its extremely portable size.

Windows CE - Relationship to Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and SmartPhone 1 CE v3.0 is the basis for Pocket PC A successor to CE v3.0 is CE.net. PocketPC #91;is#93; a separate layer of code on top of the core Windows CE OS... Pocket PC is based on Windows CE, but it's a different offering. And licensees of Pocket PC are forbidden to modify the WinCE part.

Windows Mobile - Windows CE 1 Pegasus would work on the hardware side of the Windows CE OS, attempting to create a form factor similar to a PC-esque PDA like WinPad, with communications functionality like Pulsar

Zero Configuration Networking - MS Windows CE Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 includes Microsoft's own implementation of LLMNR.

Wine (software) - Windows CE 1 Wine will not run Windows CE programs. There is an ongoing project to port Wine to ARM architecture|ARM processors, which may in the future be used as a base for a WineCE running Windows CE programs.

Wine (software) - Windows CE 1 However, there is a Software release life cycle|pre-alpha proof-of-concept version of Wine that can run Windows CE programs called WineCE:

DirectSound - Windows CE 1 Although DirectSound support was available in Windows CE versions up to 4.2, it was removed starting 5.0.[ us/library/aa aspx Windows CE 5.0 removed functionality] Windows CE 6.0 also does not support DirectSound, instead favoring that applications be rewritten to use the Waveform Audio API.

Windows CE 'Windows CE 5.0' (codenamed Macallan) is a successor to Windows CE 4.2, the third release in the Windows CE Microsoft.NET|.NET family.

Windows CE It was first released on July 09, Like its predecessors, Windows CE 5.0 is marketed towards the embedded device market and independent device vendors. Windows CE 5.0 is billed as a low-cost, compact, fast-to-market, Real-time Operating System|real-time Operating System available for x86 architecture|x86, ARM architecture|ARM, MIPS architecture|MIPS, and SuperH microprocessor-based systems.

Windows CE Windows CE 5.0 builds on previous Windows CE releases in its adoption of shared source. Since 2001, Microsoft has been steadily expanding the available Windows CE source tree with embedded system developers. Windows CE 5.0 is the most open Microsoft Operating System to date, though not all of the system is available under shared source agreements. Developers have the freedom to modify down to the kernel level, without the need to share their changes with Microsoft or competitors.

Windows CE Platform Builder IDE for Windows CE 5.0 is the last builder tool available as standalone product.

Windows CE Windows CE vs. Windows XP Embedded 1 According to Microsoft, Windows CE is a preferable choice to Windows XP Embedded in situations where demanding wireless and multimedia requirements need to be met. The following are the primary considerations for “choosing the right version”:

Windows CE Windows CE vs. Windows XP Embedded 1 * 'CPU architecture': Windows CE supports an extensive array of architectures, including x86, whereas Windows XP Embedded only supports the x86 architecture.

Windows CE Windows CE vs. Windows XP Embedded 1 * 'Real-time applications': Windows CE is a real-time operating system, while Windows XP Embedded is not by default.

Windows CE Windows CE vs. Windows XP Embedded 1 * 'Existing Win32 applications': Windows CE cannot use Win32 binaries, libraries, and drivers without modification.

Windows CE Windows CE vs. Windows XP Embedded 1 * 'Memory footprint': The minimum footprint of Windows CE is 350 kilobytes. The minimum footprint of Windows XP Embedded is 8 megabytes, making it over 23 times larger.

Windows CE Windows CE vs. Windows XP Embedded 1 Also consider that Windows CE licensing starts at $3 or €1.25 per device for the Core SKU, while XP Embedded is $90 or €59 per unit shipped.
