WEC7 Tools
CE Remote Display Application
- The Remote Display allows to operate the target device's Win CE desktop from a Windows PC. It requires a USB ActiveSync connection.
- Download X86 remote display application (over ActiveSync connection)
- Usage
- 1. Extract the zip file on your PC.
- 2. Wait for the ActiveSync connection to be ready.
- 3. Start ASRDisp.exe.
Binary BSP user guide
- 1. Download binary BSP (Please have a look at the iMX6 Downloads section.).
- 2. Unzip the files to any folder on your PC.
- 3. Call
link-DHCOM_iMX6_BIN_GEN.batfile in the folder ...\DHCOM_iMX6_BSP_BIN\, to generate symbolic links in the \WINCE700\ folder. - 4. Start Visual Studio 2008 with WEC7 platform builder.
- 5. Open platform builder project
DHCOM_iMX6.pbxmlat location C:\WINCE700\OSDesigns\DHCOM_iMX6_WEC7\. - 6. Select retail build.
- 7. Call build --> rebuild solution to build the WEC7 image.
- 8. After the image build has completed successfully, the
nk.nb0image is stored at location C:\WINCE700\OSDesigns\DHCOM_iMX6_WEC7\RelDir\_1_Retail_DHCOM_iMX6_ARMV7\. - 9. Copy the new nk.nb0 to your mircoSD card and restart the system.
- Note: To delete the symbolic links (see 3.) please call
unlink-DHCOM_iMX6_BIN_GEN.batfile in the folder ...\DHCOM_iMX6_BSP_BIN\
