Windows CE
Windows Embedded offers a comprehensive compilation of operating systems and tools, helping product and device manufacturers to shorten the development period and to rise the product performance. The Windows Embedded product family covers the complete field of embedded systems and is divided in segments: CE (Consumer Electronics, today: Compact), Standard, Automotive, POSReady, Handheld, Enterprise and Server.
In 2000 we started developing with Windows CE 3.0 on the ARM based Single Board Computers of the NetDCU family. Since that day we could extend our competences regarding the real time-capable Windows CE and today we can look back on more than 10 years of successful use and new product families.
- 10 Years of Experience in Windows CE
Our customers receive a WCE/ WEC perfectly customized for our product families armStone, nanoRISC, NetDCU, PicoMOD, PicoCOM and QBliss. Another important advantage for developers is, that they do not need to deal with the time-consuming and work-intensive task of operating system adaption. They can concentrate on their core competences and start immediatly with product development. Thereby they can rely on powerful and tested software components. Our customers get support on the phone from our soft- and hardware experts or also via the technical support forum. Our workshops enable a quick access to handling and programming WCE/ WEC. Our products are delivered with pre-installed bootloader and WCE/ WEC. We offer different configurations of the operating system as downloads, which can get installed subsequently. Additionally we can create perfectly customized and project-specific versions for our customers.
Support:
- Windows Embedded Kernel (Standard, Professional and project-specific)
- Software Development Kit (SDK)
- Device Driver
- Documentation
- Technical Support Forum
- Examples
- Workshops
These helpful workshops make your access to WCE/ WEC and your board even more easier. The goal of the workshop is to get introduced to handling the board and the development area.
Windows Embedded CE/ Windows Embedded Compact is highly performant, extremely reliable and real time-capable.
Windows Embedded Compact is the further development of Windows Embedded CE. Compact is a scalable real-time operating system. It is used in a variety of devices in the areas of Consumer Electronics, medicine and industry, where a lean and resource-saving operating is a major point.
Among these tools, which are available for the developer (OEM), Windows Embedded Compact 7 offers tools for application developers to design powerful and flexible software.
Silverlight for Windows Embedded, an UI Framework embedded in Compact 7, combines the flexibility of declarative UIs with the efficiancy of native code. Silverlight for Windows Embedded is based on Silverlight v3.0 and offers software developers and designers the creation and maintenance of device UIs via Expression Blend.
Compact 7 has a new version of Internet Explorer, based on the same core like the Microsoft Phone 7. It supports Flash 10.1, panning and zooming, multi-touch and the use of bookmarks and Thumbnails.
