Is it possible to build a 5.0 ROM for Magician using Platform Builder 5.0?

My institute has a genuine copy of Platform Builder for Windows CE 5.0 given by Microsoft. Is it possible to develop a 5.0 ROM for Magician using that?

No.
You need a BSP (Board Support Package) from the OEM that contains all the drivers and settings for a specific device.
Plus, there is a different Platform Builder for Windows CE and Windows Mobile.

Thank you very much. But I'd like to ask how do they realize Linux on Magician.

via reverse engeneering.
You can do the same - reverse engeneer the ROM, recreate BSP for magician and compile Windows CE 5.0, or even Windows CE 6.0 for your device. It would take 1-2 years for this to do.
You would be unable to compile Windows Mobile 5.0 because you don't have WinMobile adaptation kit. MS provides it to OEMs only.
And you should know the difference between CE and WM.

OpenMoko on QTEKS200

Hi! I'm a user of a QTEKS200, with Windows Mobile 5.0
And I find this new OS for SmarthPhone
http://www.openmoko.com/press/index.html
And I'm asking if somebody knows, how to boot this Linux Distribution on my S200.
If somebody know something, just tell in this forum!

You can't.
Since the hardware drivers for WM based devices like your S200 are part of the ROM image and tightly packed along with the OS, unless someone goes to the great trouble of reverse engineering them and recompiling for this new platform, there is no way your phone will run this OS.
Plus, from what I see on their site this is not a generic distribution, but like other embedded OSs a device specific version.

First, this distribution is not available. Second, the Prophet has omap850 CPU
which is a PITA to support with Linux because it is completely undocumented.

[Q] Windows Ce instead of Android, Touchscreen don't work.

Hi
I am not sure were to put this.
Its about a android tablet ( not anymore )
I found on a other forum how to instal Windows Ce 6.0 on my Polaroid mpc700G 7" tablet.
It works like a charm and seems stable.
But no touchscreen.
Wel it is not that strange because this edition of Ce comes from a netbook,
and they don't need a touch.
Q, has someone by accident some drivers for that, or a other solution fore this problem?
Or has someone a complete firmware/rom of this.
Also need a driver for a 3070 Chipset for the wifi.

[Q] Can we install Windows CE?

Can we install Windows CE on our A500? Windows CE is compatible with ARM based processor architectures. So I think thats may be a way to install it on our tablet. Can someone help to make this happen?

The Tablet runs on Intel x86 Baytrail Processor. The Same Processor supports Windows. So technically it should be possible. Some guys here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58082288&postcount=10) explain how to do this on a similar Tablet. I'm not very familliar with bios and uefi and mobile platforms so i don't want to risk briking my tablet by trying this guide. But they provide an Android App which flashes your Tablets Bios to run Windows from an external SD-Card i think. Hopefully someone with more insight in this can explain to us if this is possible

I'd like to find that out too...
