SBC-GX1 Development Kit for Windows CE .NET 4.1 - a complete ready-to-run platform.

Arcom's SBC-GX1 Development Kit for Windows CE .NET 4.1 includes a pre-built Windows CE .NET 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. By using a compressed operating system image, we ensure that you still have 10Mbytes of available Flash memory for your application code. The Development Kit includes the SBC-GX1 embedded PC single board computer fitted with 64Mbytes of DRAM and 16Mbytes of Flash. We have made it easy to save time and achieve rapid application development using Windows CE .NET 4.1 by including a full set of drivers, Microsoft's eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 CD and all the cables to connect to your host system. A Windows CE .NET 4.1 BSP is available on request.

All you have to do is:
Step 1 Build your application software
Step 2 Download to the SBC-GX1 onboard Flash
Step 3 Debug and watch your application run
