XP Embedded Components

**tipastar** · 01-07-2006, 07:33 PM

The "real company" idea was to purchase a site license and therefore the more mp3car members that jump on board could purchase the dev kit and a runtime license at a minimum investment of $100+.

Windows CE is not bad and all but I have more experience with X86 architecture than ce. Plus, I think XPe will allow me more scalability as hardware changes. The nano boards are looking promising as well.

how did you 'take care' of that I have the developement tools but need to know how to license the runtime image, any help would be great

just google for any company selling runtime licenses. they'll sell to individuals. at least i found a few (over a year ago) that were willing to sell to me, but then I realized it wasn't worth it.

Goosey,
Your car pc looks very nice. I have just started working on my xpe system. So far I have only managed to get a test image working on my desktop with MS virtual PC. I'm not a professional software person so progress is a little slow but I really like the idea of xpe. I tried nlite with limited success. I found that I had no plug in and play usb. How did you find out what your applications needed to run - trial and error?

Thats pretty much how I did it, just kept adding to the image untill it worked like I wanted.

Yep Yep Yep, Trial and Error. It took allmost 2 weeks to get a perfect image working, and then I get a phidgets controller and realize that i don't had HID support so i started working with nlite.

Are you guys willing to share you used build component lists.
Then other people will maybe start with XPe also.
The most essential components are always the ones you miss when you start building with XPe as a noob.

Please can send me anyone a working slx File fpr Windows Embedded? My first try's doesn't boot. Thx a lot

I will let you have mine as soon as I get it working. Need plenty of time though which is something that I haven't got a great deal of at the moment.

I'm going to create a XPe repository (not to mistake this for an XPe dev repository) on my web server. I'll host the slx files and help people with driver component building. On the hardware side I've built the components for the EPIA M10K motherboard and the Xenarc TSK touchscreens.

If you've been playing with XPe then you know you have to dedicate time...compile design re-compile, etc. So stay tuned while I bring my server back on line.

Where does all the time go?
