het thanks , i did not think about writing the output to the root . But you are completely right ..
I will make that change

thanks for the input

I use VNC to remotely control the netdcu8 and a ftpserver to upload/download files from it , all remotely over ethernet .

If you want to know which third party software I use , just PM me .

Maybe someone is interested in how to do this .
I am running a netdcu8 ARM , with windows CE 5.0 .

What i wanted to do is log when the device reboots (sometimes unexpected) .
Therefore the time and date need to be correct . After a reboot time lags behind + date is reset to 1/1 . So i needed to sync the time and date , then log the reboot in a file .

Step 1 :
add explorer.exe in the registry as startup in \init .
depend 3c,00 .

Step 2 :
add \FFSDISK\TOOLS\ to the path registry in \loader

Step 3 :
Download and install SP timesync 2.3 from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.spdialer.com/">http://www.spdialer.com/</a><!-- m --> .
Copy the .exe file to \FFSDISK\TOOLS
Make a reboot.bat and put it in \FFSDISK\Startup
this is the contents of reboot.bat :

first line is to start the timesync application in a separate console
timesync needs explorer to be active to start , so since it's started now we can close explorer .
after that write date and time to a file .
timesync.exe stays active after that and makes sure the time and date are always correct . I have set the application to automatically update every minute .

If someone needs more info , or wants to add a different method or has suggestions .. you're welcome .

Regards ,

Maybe my info gives you some insight , maybe not . This is from my own config .

for depend i always use 3c,00 .
I would also give explorer.exe a depend .
never use spaces in the path .. I always get in trouble with them .
Also do not use the full path to point to a file . Make sure the file is in a PATH directory .
The PATH directories can be found in the registry under \loader . the value is a multi (!!) string , and values can be separated by ; (change it trough command line , NOT trough GUI as GUI tends to change the value to a normal string instead of multistring) . Again , do not use spaces here .

What is the procedure for updating ? Which software should be used ?

Can the bootloader update cause a problem with CAN/usb/network connections ?
