Trying to do the impossible!

dwinhold

Hello everyone,

 

I have dis-assembled the Windows mobile  (old version) and trying to make it run on the Raspberry Pi. I believe with a modification/addon to the pi with a microchip or emulator this could be possible. Anyone with any ideas I definately need them, as well. I am willing to share any and all info/software to try to get this to work.

 

Thanks everyone!!

  • Platform builder used to come with a 30 day evaluation version. As long as you don't sell platforms with windows embedded (CE) on it, you are fine.

    Your biggest problem will likely be to get usb running, as you need it for networking and user input. Windows CE used to have support for UHCI, OHCI and EHCI controllers. I don't think the Pi synoptics usb host controller resembles one of those.

    You can use raw frame buffer access as video output, but it will be slow. I know windows CE devices can work without a display.

    Another issue is finding drivers for different usb devices like wifi dongles. Keyboards and mice are supported. Memory sticks and usb harddrives should work as well. usb2serial devices shouldn't be a problem either. Networking devices, that's another story.

    But, don't let me temper your enthousiasm. My last experiments with CE were CE 5.0. Maybe things have improved with the newer versions.

    For a low cost programmable add-on to the Pi, you could try http://wyolum.com/projects/alamode/

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Bit Police haven't already entered your computer, downloaded your contacts, and have tapped their 1's and 0's to build a case against you for just thinking about it....
