CE Build Revision History: BitsyX
Legal NoticeThese Windows CE images are intended to update BitsyX product for which a Windows CE license has already been purchased. You must purchase a new license for every unit that is updated to a new version of Windows CE (e.g. 5 to 6) or updated to a different license model (e.g. Core to Pro).
By downloading any Windows CE image from this site, you agree to the following Microsoft statement:"This software is subject to the terms and conditions of the end user license terms. This software is provided only for use with, and for licensed end users of, the Eurotech BitsyX. Any other use of this software is strictly prohibited and may subject you to legal action."
The following summarizes the changes made between CE builds for the BitsyX. Release dates are approximate.

We've posted build 4.10.33 to the build selector.
We've also added a stripped-down, 11 MiB build for customers who would rather have more flash for data storage. |

| We've added a couple new BitsyX builds, including a smaller 12MiB build (4.10.33) that includes XML features and updated builds for CE.NET 4.1 and 4.2. |

We've added a new build for 4.20. Build 4.20.05 is a full-featured CE.NET build, and is larger than previous builds.
Note! Save any important information on your flash disk before loading the larger image.
The flash will be re-partitioned to accomodate the larger build, erasing and reformatting the "FlashFX Disk\" partition. |

#disabling_quad_uart
Potential Slowdown if Quad UART Not Disabled
One of our customers experienced a problem with the BitsyX in which some systems would occasionally slow to a crawl.
This kind of behavior is typical of a floating interrupt, so we had them walk their finger around the board to see if they could find the source. They found that when they touched two specific pins on the CompactFlash bus connector, the slowness disappeared.
After further investigation, they found that if they disabled the quad UART drivers, the slowdown never occurred. For reference, here are the keys used to disable the quad UART drivers:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial4]
"Dll"="disabled"
;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial5]
"Dll"="disabled"
;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial6]
"Dll"="disabled"
;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial7]
"Dll"="disabled"

We've posted build 4.20.52.
Addendum to I2C driver operation:
-A registry key can be used to let the application control the Stop bit in the I2C Read operation. A value of 1 will enable this feature, 0 will disable it. This value is read during initialization.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\I2C]
"SetStopByApp"=dword:1 ; 0 = Stop is called by driver after total bytes read
|
- I2C_IOCTL_SET_STOP_BY_APP can be used to control/modify this Stop bit setting at runtime. The IOCTL will not change the key in the registry.
#define I2C_IOCTL_SET_STOP_BY_APP 0x09
