Windows on SABRE-Lite!

Former Member

Hello SABRE-Lite developers!

 

Want to try Windows Embedded Compact 2013 or Windows Embedded Compact 7 on your Element14 Sabre-Lite? Want to develop applications in C# or VB.NET or plain old C/C++ for your Sabre-Lite using Visual Studio?

 

Take a look here: https://guruce.com/imx6

 

Free downloadable WEC kernel images and full instructions can be downloaded here: https://guruce.com/imx6-bsp-releases

  • Hi Michael

    Thank you for sharing the information of this new Windows Embedded BSP compatible with the i.MX6Quad of the Sabre-Lite.

    Have you tried to boot Sabre-Lite with your BSP image from an SD card ?
    Can you share with the community some instructions/recommendations to create a bootable SD Card for Sabre-Lite with Windows Compact ?

    Some pictures/video of the Sabre-Lite booting the Windows OS could be another motivation for the community user to try it

    Thanks in advance for your contribution

    The SABRE Lite design can only boot from SPI Flash due to the bootswitches not allowing any other configuration than either boot from SPI or boot from USB (using the FSL Manufacturing Tool). Luckily our bootloader fully supports booting from SPI. The bootloader will proceed to load the big CE kernel image from SATA, SD or uSD. Full instructions on how to set this up can be found in our Getting Started Guide.

     

    On RIoTboard we support booting from SD, uSD and eMMC (because the RIoTboard design supports all boot options through the boot switches). Everything, including how to setup the RIoTboard bootswitches and how to flash our bootloader and kernel, is described in our Getting Started Guide.

     

     

    We'll post some videos soon to show WEC7 and WEC2013 booting on the various boards we support at the moment. Currently we support the RIoTboard, SABRE Lite, Device Solution Opal6 and Congatec QMX6. Digi ConnectCore 6 support will follow soon, and we are planning to add support for many more off-the-shelf boards and devkits.
