Writing BSP and drivers for Windows CE 6.0
Windows Embedded CE is a registered trade mark of Microsoft
Goals
  • Master the cross development tools
  • Bring the system on the target
  • Accessing I / O
  • Install kernel interrupt routines and applications
  • Develop drivers and Board Support Packages
  • A windows PC and an Atmel target board for two trainees
  • Platform Builder for CE 6.0
  • Visual Studio 2005
  • A Lauterbach probe, with the Windows CE kernel awareness module
  • Printed course material and labs solutions
  • Good knowledge of the C language
  • Knowledge of application programming on Windows CE 6.0 (as described in W3 - Windows Embedded CE 6.0 course) is mandatory.
  • Any embedded systems engineer or technician with the above prerequisites.
  • The prerequisites indicated above are assessed before the training by the technical supervision of the traineein his company, or by the trainee himself in the exceptional case of an individual trainee.
  • Trainee progress is assessed in two different ways, depending on the course:
    • For courses lending themselves to practical exercises, the results of the exercises are checked by the trainer while, if necessary, helping trainees to carry them out by providing additional details.
    • Quizzes are offered at the end of sections that do not include practical exercises to verifythat the trainees have assimilated the points presented
  • At the end of the training, each trainee receives a certificate attesting that they have successfully completed the course.
    • In the event of a problem, discovered during the course, due to a lack of prerequisites by the trainee a different or additional training is offered to them, generally to reinforce their prerequisites,in agreement with their company manager if applicable.
