Publication 6182-UM002B-EN-P
Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ 6.0
Platform SDK for H/PC – MIPSFP (from Windows CE Toolkit for
Visual C++ 6.0)
Or,
Embedded Visual C++ 6.0 (from Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools
3.0)
Platform SDK for H/PC – MIPSFP (from Microsoft Embedded Visual
Tools 3.0)
Note:
The user of the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ 6.0
should note that a special configuration step is necessary to
work around a known limitation of that package. (See
configuration details below.)
While the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ 6.0 is an
extension of the Visual C++ 6.0 tool from Visual Studio and
depends upon it, Embedded Visual C++ 6.0 is a stand-alone
tool that does not require the installation of Visual C++ 6.0
from Visual Studio. However, Embedded Visual C++ 6.0
supports development for CE platforms only, and not for
Windows desktop operating systems. Developers
contemplating ports to CE of applications written originally
for Windows desktop operating systems will probably want
the support for both CE and desktop OS development that
is available with Visual C++ 6.0 extended with the
Windows CE Toolkit.
On the other hand, Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 is
available without charge, except for a nominal shipping and
handling charge. Accordingly, it is an economical tool for
developers of new CE only applications.
Finally, while Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 is not integrated
with Visual Studio’s tools, it can co-exist with these tools.
Device driver developers should consider also installing the Microsoft
Windows CE Platform Builder, which contains support for kernel level
CE development that is not found in the other toolkits. However,
Platform builder is not necessary for most driver development work.
Details of the installation procedures are beyond the scope of this
manual. Please follow the instructions provided by Microsoft.
Finally, the RAC6182 SDK should be installed. (See detailed
instructions below.)
