And here's a link to the trial:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/eval/trial.mspx

Thanks for the links. I'm going to download now

dragonedge,
Please post your results, I would be very interested to know if it will run on my wizard.
Thanks,
Clay

dude...
1) you cross posted
2) again, this is released to the manufactuers, it'll be at LEAST 4 to 6 months before we even hear of a device testing this OS
3) what you posted is an evaluation environment for Visual Studio... lol. You're not going to get your hands on something like that that easily.

awwww too bad but shouldn't you be able to create some type of Rom with this? Or is this literally just a developer tool released for a software that hasn't been released or won't be for a long time?

Overview
Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 is a componentized operating system designed from the ground up to power small footprint devices and help developers get them to market fast. Choosing from a wide variety of technology components and pre-existing templates, you can quickly build hard real-time commercial and consumer electronics devices, such as:
Set-top boxes
Thin clients
Digital media adapters
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones
Navigation devices
Medical devices
Portable media players
Home gateways
Digital cameras
Networked digital televisions
PDAs
Features
Along with its portfolio of hundreds of carefully tested, easily selectable OS components, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 includes innovative features designed to help promote performance, security, compatibility, and flexibility.
Robust Architecture
Unified Kernel. The redesigned Windows Embedded CE 6.0 kernel now handles more than 32,000 simultaneous processes, each with 2 GB of virtual memory space. The new file system supports larger storage media and file sizes (up to 4 GB), and removable media encryption.
Drivers. Production-quality device drivers help decrease the amount of modification needed for drivers to work with custom hardware, and enhanced driver support in CE 6.0 helps ensure easy portability. Drivers can be run in kernel mode for performance or in user mode for robustness.
Security. The redesigned one-tier security model is SDL compliant and helps ensure that only trusted applications can run on your embedded device.
Compatibility. CE 6.0 works with key processor architectures (x86, ARM, SH4, and MIPS) and, through its compatibility testing tool, has features to help port existing Win32 applications.
Device Performance. Improvements to the kernel architecture have greatly reduced the overhead of system calls between base OS services, resulting in improved operating system performance.
New Media and Communication Components
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 opens up new opportunities to develop compelling products for home and business.
Network Media Devices. You now have the ability to build networked media devices that can consume pictures, videos, and music from a Windows PC via a home network.
Digital Video Recorders. The DVR engine in CE 6.0 empowers you to build devices that can record multiple video streams to a hard drive for later playback
Cellular Networks. The new Cellcore components help enable your CE 6.0 powered devices to easily make data connections and initiate voice calls through cellular networks.
Windows Network Projectors. Users can now connect their Windows Vista™ laptop to a CE 6.0-based projector wirelessly or over any IP network.
Powerful Development Environment
By adding Platform Builder to Visual Studio 2005, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 helps deliver a superior unified embedded developer experience. Developers can now use one common familiar environment to develop both application and operating system software. Development advantages include:
Visual Studio 2005. Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 has been created as a plug-in for Visual Studio 2005 and is customized for developing embedded operating systems and components.
Application Development Options. You can go native or managed by choosing your preferred Microsoft development technology—Win32, MFC, or the .NET Compact Framework (C#, VB).
Device Emulation. The new ARM-based device emulator included with Platform Builder makes it easy to configure, build, and test operating system images.
Editors. Coding and building are faster. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 editors now incorporate Intellisense technology, syntax highlighting, and graphical bib and registry file editors.
Improved Compilers. Based on Visual Studio 2005, the latest compilers increase C++ language conformance; provide better libraries; support CRT, ATL, and MFC; and offer improved run-time security checks (/GS).
Source Code Access. Access to CE 6.0 source code helps developers debug, test, and make changes to an OS image. It also allows you to modify the operating system software to create differentiated features while maintaining control over your intellectual property.

Javascript pc emulator. Neat!

So i was wandering around google this morning and stumbled upon this. I am not affiliated with the creater in anyway.
I dont know how to use this, but I wanted to put it here, incase some dev knows what to do with it. Or can use it.
I found it here.
Company main page
http://bellard.org/
Link to go straight to the emulator.
http://bellard.org/jslinux/index.html
It runs in your stock tab browser. Let it load. Takes bout two minutes.
Here is the info:
Javascript PC Emulator - Technical NotesBy*Fabrice Bellard
*- May 14, 2011
This PC emulator is written in Javascript. The emulated hardware consists in the following devices:
* 32 bit x86 compatible CPU
* 8259 Programmble Interrupt Controller
* 8254 Programmble Interrupt Timer
* 16450 UART
* Real Time Clock.The code is written in pure Javascript using the*W3C Typed Arrays
. A slightly slower fallback mode is implemented for browsers missing this support. For the exact list of supported browsers, see the*FAQ
. In any case, a fast Javascript engine is needed to have good performance.
CPU EmulationSome of the code is inspired from my x86 dynamic translator present in*QEMU
, but there are important differences because here it is an interpreter. The CPU is close to a 486 compatible x86 without FPU. The lack of FPU is not a problem when running Linux as Operating System because it contains a FPU emulator. In order to be able to run Linux, a complete MMU is implemented. The exact restrictions of the emulated CPU are:
* No FPU/MMX/SSE
* No segment limit and right checks when accessing memory (Linux does not rely on them for memory protection, so it is not an issue. The x86 emulator of QEMU has the same restriction).
* No CS/DS/ES/SS segment overrides. FS/GS overrides are implemented because they are needed for Thread Local Storage in Linux.
* A few seldom used instructions are missing (BCD operations, BOUND, ...).
* No single-stepping
* No real mode
* No 16 bit protected mode (although most 16 bit instructions are present because they are needed to run 32 bit programs).Most of these restrictions are easy to remove, but I decided to implement the strict minimum to be able to use a recent Linux kernel and its user applications.
I added some tricks which are not present in QEMU to be more precise when emulating unaligned load/stores at page boundaries. The condition code emulation is also more efficient than the one in QEMU.DevicesCurrently there is no synchronization between the PIT frequency and the real time, so there is a variable drift between the time returned by Linux (try the "date" command) and the real time.
The UART (serial port) does not support FIFO mode. Perhaps it could help to improve the display speed.
There is no network emulation at this point.
A clipboard device (seen as*/dev/clipboard*in the emulator) was added to allow exchange of data between the emulator and the outside world.Javascript terminalAlthough I could have reused the excellent*termlib
, I decided to write my own because I was curious to see how it could be done. The main problem is the key handling which is different among browsers and OSes, as described*here
.Linux distributionI compiled a 2.6.20 Linux kernel (I guess any other version would work provided there is still an FPU emulator). The Linux kernel configuration, patch and the source code of the Linux starter (kind of BIOS) are available:*linuxstart.tar.gz
.
The disk image is just a ram disk image loaded at boot time. It contains a filesystem generated with*Buildroot
containing*BusyBox
. I added my toy C compiler*TinyCC
*and my unfinished but usable emacs clone*QEmacs
.
JavascriptI happen to be interested by the implementation of Javascript engines these days - but I don't know yet if I will write my own any time soon ! Anyway, this emulator was a way to learn how to write optimized code for recent Javascript engines, in particular Jaeger Monkey (for Firefox 4) and V8 (for Chrome).
A troubling thing is that the PC emulator is about 2 times slower using V8 than Jaeger Monkey (I used the 32 bit version for both). I have no precise explanation yet because I only looked at the Jeager Monkey code so far.What's the use ?I did it for fun, just because newer Javascript Engines are fast enough to do complicated things. Real use could be:
* Benchmarking of Javascript engines (how much time takes your Javascript engine to boot Linux ?). For this particular application, efficient handling of 32 bit signed and unsigned integers and of typed arrays is important.
* Learning to use command line Unix tools without leaving the browser.
* Client side processing using an x86 library, for example for cryptographic purposes. For such application, the x86 emulator can be modified to provide an API to load x86 dynamic libraries and to provide a*js-ctypes
*like API to call the C/C++ functions from javascript.
* A more advanced version would allow to use old DOS PC software such as games.
