4.7 Application Program Development

The SPC is bundled with built-in Windows® CE.NET operating system. In real application user need to execute various application programs on it. However, unlike its other CPU family, the Windows® CE.NET is a hardware-dependent operating system. That is to say, Windows® CE.NET application programs are only portable in the source code level. Users must rebuild the runtime file for a different Windows® CE.NET platform even though the source code may not be changed at all.

4.7.1 System requirements

Intel® Pentium-90 CPU or more advanced

Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional or Windows® XP

Microsoft® eMbedded Visual Tools 4.0

Platform SDK for SPC

64MB DRAM

CD-ROM drive

Monitor with VGA resolution at least

Mouse

200MB free hard disk space at least

SPC series platform

Let the host PC and SPC connect on the same LAN to do kernel debugging if necessary

USB cable (bundled in the standard SPC series)

4.7.2 Building Windows CE program

By the platform SDK bundled with the standard SPC, users can build the Windows CE runtime application program by the eMbedded Visual Tools.
