I hope that you get example code with every board... try to see it in the installed folder. or the CD you got from the vendor...

As ckshivaram mentioned, look on the CDROM.

You should have a BSP (Board Support Package) for Windows CE 6.0 included on the CDROM.

The company also has a download area:



If all else fails, contact Boardcon for the BSP.

You can download the program from the Official Site of the .
Even you can get whatever you want from the official site about the broad ,you may have a try.
Reading the broad's handbook will help you get fimiliar with the broad .And here I recommand a book---C++ Primer,which is a very popular with the beginner of C++.
That may be useful for you.

You will have to create drivers for that and call that drivers from the Application program. I had the same problem. I had a SBC6410 board (from Boardcon) and had WinCE installed in it. After weeks of searching, I found that I had to create stream drivers that can access Hardware Registers of the processor and ultimately, can control the GPIO pins. I have developed drivers for WinCE OS. Here, I have attached the files for drivers. To read more about how to make this and use it, go here :

Windows CE: Using a Driver to Read/Write Hardware Registers

And one other thing, This drivers are for Samsung's S3C6410 processor

Hi,Thanks for your attention,
Please Tell me Whats is Your DRIVER Develpment IDE's Name.
How Can I compile this Example?

 

[mehtadhaval]

I used Microsoft Visual Studio as IDE. To compile the driver code, I included it with source code of the WinCE OS and then compiled the OS. And when I loaded the image generated by the compile build, it created a .dll file in the device.

Can anyone suggest which board of the following two is better?

1- SBC6410 Single board computers : **broken link removed**

2- S3C2440 ARM9 BOARD MINI2440 MIT 7" LCD&TOUCH PANEL 256MB:
**broken link removed**

Or if there is another third board, kindly advice

Thanks & Regards
