Developing CE Drivers and Applications for the RAC6182
Publication 6182-UM002B-EN-P
Next, the following Microsoft tools must be installed on the development
platform in the order given:
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (from Visual Studio 6.0, Professional or
Enterprise Edition)
Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
Platform SDK for H/PC - MIPSFP (from Windows CE Toolkit for
Visual Basic 6.0)
Or,
Embedded Visual Basic (from Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools 3.0)
Platform SDK for H/PC - MIPSFP (from Microsoft Embedded Visual
Tools 3.0)
Note:
While the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0 is an
extension of the Visual Basic 6.0 tool from Visual Studio
and depends upon it, Embedded Visual Basic is a stand-
alone tool that does not require the installation of Visual
Basic 6.0 from Visual Studio. However, Embedded Visual
Basic 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 Basic 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.
Details of the installation procedures are beyond the scope of this
manual. Please follow the instructions provided by Microsoft.
Finally, install the RAC6182 SDK.
Installing the RAC6182 SDK
Installing the RAC6182 SDK is the final step in setting up the
development system.
