How to: embeded VC++ for Xscale processor

[Jano]

Hi all,




I'm pretty new to the embeded VC++, I have version 3 and
was able to develop an ARM version of my little app.
However I need one for the new Dell pocket PC with the
Xscale processor. How do I do that ? Do I need to get a
different SDK ? If so from where can I get it ? I couldn't
find anything yet. I read one post somewhere that said the
Xscale should be able to run ARM version of software, but
from my experience it's not true with my application, as of
now.




Any suggestions are welcome.


Thank you.

This post will probably disappear very quickly,
but I'd suggest that you go elsewhere for embedded
tools. Wind River or one of their competitors
has much more to offer. MS is behind the curve
in the embedded world, particularly when it
comes to time critical/real time apps.

Hi Jano,

You should post in the microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded.vc for this
topic. But just to try and answer your question, if you have a very recent
PocketPC it may have PPC2003 on it. If that is the case you need to use eVC4
with the PocketPC 2003 SDK. Otherwise your information re XScale is actually
correct. If this doesn't solve your problem I would suggest you repost in
the above ng with some more details of what went wrong

Cheers

Thank you both for resposnes, I'll post this to the
embedded forum.

The actual error I'm getting is: When I try to run a ARM
version on Xscale, it starts fine but after opening
another Dialog it just freeeeeeezes. Not sure what the
problem is.

The program freezes, or the whole device freezes? If the former, have you
tried debugging it at that point to see what is going on? If the latter, see
if maybe you're overflowing the stack.
