Windows CE Development Kit

Arcom's Windows CE Development Kits includes a pre-built Windows CE 3.0 image pre-loaded into the 16Mbyte onboard Flash drive that means you do not need to use Microsoft Platform Builder. The operating system image offers a comprehensive set of components for the widest selection of application solutions using both Visual C++ and Visual Basic.

The Development Kits are available for the ELAN-104NC, SBC-GXm and SBC-GX1 embedded PC single board computers.

We have made it easy to save time and achieve rapid application development using Windows CE 3.0 by including a full set of drivers, Microsoft's eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 CD and all the cables to connect to your host system. A Windows CE 3.0 BSP is available on request.

License Issues
Microsoft Windows CE may only be used in accordance with one of two license agreements. If you intend to install Windows CE yourself, you must sign an OEM license agreement directly with Microsoft (via your local Microsoft distributor). If you intend to purchase an Arcom processor board with Windows CE pre-installed you must ensure that an ‘End User License Agreement, (EULA)’ is passed to your customer. This requires that you make it available in the documentation (printed or electronic) to ensure the end user understands the terms under which it can be used.
