Windows™ CE is a Microsoft™ Windows operating system optimized for embedded devices that require minimum storage. Windows CE is a noticeably different kernel that can run in under a megabyte of memory. It conforms to the definition of a real-time operating system, with a deterministic interrupt latency. Windows CE supports 256 priority levels and uses priority inheritance for dealing with priority inversion. The fundamental unit of execution is the thread. This helps to simplify the interface and improve execution time.

Designed for use with Microsoft’s Platform Builder and Visual Studio tools, the Windows CE operating system allows embedded digital video developers to begin development immediately utilizing a familiar, full-featured environment for embedded design. Developers can easily achieve video and audio performance beyond GPP capabilities while using familiar and standard Windows CE application programming interfaces (APIs).

Features

• TI’s Codec engine DSP framework
• Inter-processor communication
• Powerful video and audio codecs
• Peripheral Drivers/Devices

Demo – OMAP35x Evaluation Module (EVM) developers can demo the WinCE 6.0 R2 Pro Board Support Package (BSP) on their existing hardware today. The BSP Demo requires the EVM and a user-supplied SD card. Full instructions are available in the WinCE BSP Demo readme.txt file.

BSP Source –  EVM users can also begin development today with the OMAP35x WinCE Digital Video SDK (DVSDK) with BSP source code early adopter software. Rather than requesting above, if users have previously registered older OMAP EVMs, they can access this same file via the OMAP Software Update extranet at www.ti.com/omapsoftwareupdates. The WinCE DVSDK includes a production quality Windows CE 6.0 R2 BSP provided by TI third party partner, BSQUARE. All function blocks of the OMAP3530 will be available as subsequent updates, including ARM® Cortex™ A-8 ARM application processor, TMS320C64x™ DSP & video accelerator, 2D/3D OpenGL ES graphics engine & shared peripheral set.
