Embedded is already installed,
you just have to download your application!

Arcom's SBC-GX1 Development Kit for Microsoft Windows XP Embedded features fully licensed XP Embedded operating system pre-loaded and configured on a
512Mbyte CompactFlash card - that means you do not need to use Windows Embedded Studio. The operating system image
is a compact configuration of Windows XP Embedded supporting all onboard features as well the rich feature set of the XP operating system. The Development Kit offers a
ready-to-run, rapid application development environment which really does
save engineering time.
The Development Kit includes everything needed by an engineer to get up and running quickly. Each kit contains a
300MHz SBC-GX1
embedded PC single board computer fitted with
256Mbytes DRAM, cables, connectors, power supply, software and an information CD.

If you need to optimize the operating system image, Arcom offers the
technical expertise of our dedicated Windows Embedded Development team to
work with you, either to enhance the features of the operating system or
reduce the footprint to save storage space. A recent project included reducing the image size
to achieve a consistent 35 second system boot time and to display a
custom machine specific logo from start up. Arcom has a track record of
helping a wide range of industrial and OEM customers to develop and
integrate new drivers and achieve the very best from Windows XP
Embedded.

| What
is Windows XP Embedded? |
|
Windows
XP Embedded
enables rapid development of the most reliable and
full-featured connected devices. Windows XP Embedded is the
componentized version of the leading desktop operating system,
enabling rapid development of the most reliable and full-featured
connected devices. Based on the same binaries as Windows XP
Professional, Windows XP Embedded enables embedded developers to
individually select only the rich features they need for
customized, reduced-footprint embedded devices. Building upon the
proven code base of Windows 2000, Windows XP Embedded delivers
industry-leading reliability, security, and performance along with
the latest multimedia Web browsing capabilities, and device
support. Windows XP Embedded also incorporates the latest
embedded-enabling capabilities such as headless support and
flexible boot and storage options. In addition, Windows XP
Embedded contains a completely redesigned tool set, called Windows
Embedded Studio, which enables developers to rapidly configure,
build, and deploy smart designs.

Note: This Development Kit is supplied with an Evaluation Version of the Windows XP Embedded operating system under the terms of the Windows Embedded Kitting Program. The Development Kit does not include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) license label, which is no longer required. The use of the Evaluation Version of Windows XP Embedded is subject to your acceptance of the terms of the end user license agreement with Microsoft.
The Development Kit allows you to develop, download and debug your Windows XP application on the CompactFlash card. The Windows XP Embedded operating system image has been created using a unique Arcom PID (issued by Microsoft) and configured to run on the SBC-GX1 single board computer. A copy of the operating system image is included on the Development Kit DVD and may be used to restore the image to the CompactFlash card or to create production copies of the supplied operating system image. Windows XP Embedded licenses may be supplied by one of the following methods:
-
Arcom can install
the operating system on a CompactFlash card or hard disk drive
and supply a Windows XP Embedded license label (COA)
-
Arcom can install
your operating system image under the terms of a Microsoft
Third Party Installer agreement. You purchase the Windows XP
Embedded license labels (COA) from any approved Windows
Embedded distributor and apply these to your product
-
You create your
own operating system image (using your own PID) and install
this onto your selected media. You purchase the Windows XP
Embedded license label (COA) directly from any approved
Windows Embedded distributor.
The Development Kit
includes a copy of Microsoft Windows Embedded Studio (includes
Target Designer, Component Designer etc) to allow you to create a
new (120 day time limited) operating system image for evaluation
purposes only. To create a new production release copy of the
operating system, you will need a licensed copy of Windows
Embedded Studio - please contact any approved Windows Embedded
distributor.
