For CE.NET releases for the Graphics Master, visit our CE Image Selector page




For those of you interested in trying out CE.NET on your development systems, we now have a Beta release image available for the Graphics Master.

As a beta, this image is not suitable for release or production but it will provide you an opportunity to see and test CE.NET in your environment and with your applications.

We have also exported a beta SDK for this image to allow you to develop and debug applications for the platform. Before installing the SDK, you must have either eVC 4.0 or the SDE tech preview installed on your development PC. eVC 4.0 comes with Platform Builder 4.0 and can also be ordered from Microsoft. The SDE tech preview was provided as a hand-out by Microsoft at several shows. It is no longer available, so if you don't already have it, you will have to wait for the beta release.

While these products are provided as-is and are not supported through our normal channels, we greatly encourage feedback on what does and does not work as well as what you would like to see either included or excluded from our initial release build.

Please provide feedback to either product by replying to this topic.



GRAPHICS MASTER SYSTEMS

You can download the CE.NET Beta Image HERE (12.0 MB)

You can download the CE.NET Beta SDK HERE (24.0 MB)



Known Problems:

  1. CAB Files do not expand and install when double-tapped

  2. eVB Runtimes are not included (though the CE 3.0 runtimes from the HPC 2000 SDK appear to work fine when manually copied and registered)

  3. Screen sounds currently are running through our CE 3.0 driver

  4. Most power management functions, including Suspend Mode are not yet implemented

Joel,

We definitely want feedback. Provide it as a reply to this topic. We may add a new Forum when we release .NET, but at this point it's undetermined.

Known Issues update

  • restart.exe should not be used.
    After a restart, the device registry is modified, causing the display driver to no longer work properly. Also after runnign restart.exe, file extensions as system files (DLLs) are hidden from Explorer.

  • erasefx.exe does not run.
    After upgrading the image, the FlashFX disk may not get formatted. While it shows up in Explorer, it is unusable.

  • Some Windows CE Port drivers available in 3.0 are missing.
    Some ports (i.e. LED2: and LED3:) cannot be used with this image.
