Hi!

Is it possible to store a file permanently in the file system of an armStone with Win CE6? I'm searching for a solution without building a new image with the platform builder.

Jochen

I found the solution: the installed SDK on the pc side was for ce6 while the board has wec7

Hi!

is there already OpenGL ES 2.0 for Windows Embedded Compact 7?

Hi!

I have the following problem: When trying to connect to an armStone A8 v1.20 with Visual Studio 2008 via USB then I get the following error:
"The bootstrap could not be loaded"
With the old version that was sold on the embedded world 2012 it works.
Does anybody have an idea? Do I have to update a driver? I already installed NetDCU-USB-Loader (including FSBoardUSB driver) but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the Visual Studio 2008 debugging functionality.
A reason could be that the new board has Windows Embedded Compact 7 instead of CE 6. Is it required to use a newer version of Visual Studio?

I ordered the Embedded World version for 49€

GlobalMemoryStatus() returns dwTotalPhys = 91766784. Seems to be 128M

The functions Get/SetSystemMemoryDivision are not available (CE 6).

Hi!

How much RAM does the Embedded World version of the armStoneA8 have? For ROM it tells me 128MB.

actually it is not so bad (a debug output message made it slow) but it could be even faster when bypassing the windowing system.

if this is not possible what is the best way to create a fullscreen window on wince that also hides the task bar?

Hi!

the first tests for opengl es 2.0 on wince 6 work but appear to be quite slow even for clear screen and single triangle. is it possible
to bypass the windowing system so that the gpu renders directly to the framebuffer?

this is the advantage of using linux. so any news there?

Please add to the documentation that
- you need to enable dhcp
- how to do it in windows

now it works, the reason was that i used libGLESv1_CM.lib but for opengl es 1.x only libGLES_CM.lib seems to work and for 2.0 libGLESv2.lib

Hi!

a first test app that opens a window works using vs2008, also the remote debugging works.
when i use opengl i link libegl.lib and libGLESv2.lib into the app. compiling and deploying works, but it doesn't
run. i assume the corresponding .dlls (libegl.dll and libGLESv2.dll) are missing as i can't find them in the powervr
ogles2 sdk or on the armstone filesystem.

where do i find them?

-Jochen

it seems to work with
ip-address: 169.254.x.y
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

Hi!

at first: Please add to the documentation (armStoneA8, wince) that you have to enable telnet on win7 host like this:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.faqs/ka14541.html">http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.js ... 14541.html</a><!-- m -->

then the telnet window opens and immediately closes. it says connection error on port 23.
I have installed the kernel XIPV210_CE6Core_120723.bin.
do i have to set the ip address and subnet mask of the host to something special?

That's good news when coming back from holidays

There's even OpenGL ES 3.0 out so there should be something possible

But to be serous: we are in contact with a customer where we might get a project where 50-100 boards are needed per year.
But the formula is simple: no OpenGL ES 2.0 - no boards.

-Jochen

Please ask them again, it's very important as WinCE6 seems to support only OpenGL ES 1.1 and DirectX mobile while wie need OpenGL ES 2.0 and the chip is capable of OpenGL ES 2.0.
I will also look at WEC7 but the SDK directory in the download area is empty.

Hi!

OGLES_WINDOWSMOBILE6_ARMV4I_2.08.28.0634.msi seems to contain only OpenGL ES 1.1 as there are no
OpenGL ES 2.0 examples included. Do you know if OpenGL ES 2.0 is available?

Is it also possible to use visual studio 2010 or only 2008?

and what about WinCE? If it's not yet available for linux can you recommend doing it with windows ce?

Hi!

do I need a 32 bit or 64 bit linux to run the fs-toolchain-4.6.3-armv6-vfp (should be the latest)?
