3 Software
Every used software in this chapter you can download from the download section:
www.christ-elektronik.de
3.1 Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center / Active Sync
One way to establish a PC connection to the Touch-it CE is by using Windows Mobile Device
Center. For Windows XP you need instead of the Microsoft ActiveSync.
Download the correct version and install it.
Once the Windows Mobile Device Center software is properly installed, you can proceed to plug
a USB Cable (Type A –Type mini-B) between your PC USB port and the USB on the Touch-it CE.
Be sure that only the mini USB port is connected and not the shared one.
If you use the Touch-it CE Pico-ITX glass, be sure that the touchscreen is not connected to the inter-
nal USB port.
Now a connection should be established and a partnership between PC and CE Device will be
created. You can save the Registry now, so that it will remember the partnership and you'll never
be prompted again.
Windows Mobile Device Center was originally intended to be used to synchronize data (ap-
pointments, mails, etc) between a CE Device and a Desktop PC, but can also be used as a simple
file browser.
Once the Windows Mobile Device Center connection is up and running, you can open an Ex-
plorer window showing the File System of your Touch-it CE:

Touch-it CE
Operating Instructions
Christ Elektronik GmbH 12 / 37 [email protected]
www.christ-elektronik.de Tel.: [phone]
You can easily drag and drop files to/from your Touch-it CE Panel now.
To show the desktop of the Touch-it CE Panel on your development PC you can start the remote
display tool CeRHost.exe on your Desktop PC.
(After Windows Mobile Device Center connection is established)
Download the program from www.christ-elektronik.de
Also, Windows Mobile Device Center can be used to install applications. Most of the Windows
CE applications you can find on the WEB have an installer that expects Windows Mobile Device
Center to be present on your system, and will use it to install the software on the CE Device.
If you want to try some third party software from the WEB, be sure to download the ARM com-
piled Handheld PC version. Pocket PC applications will most probably not work, because they
rely on another shell and some adaptations must be done.
Windows Mobile Device Center is also very useful for debugging.
(see chapter Software -> Compilation / Debugging)

3.2 General Information
Microsoft® Windows® CE is an open, scalable, 32-bit operating system that integrates reliable,
real time capabilities with advanced Windows technologies. Windows CE allows you to build a
wide range of innovative, small footprint devices.
3.2.1 Exploring the different interfaces that Windows CE offers
Open the "My Device" folder (upper left icon on the desktop).
This is the root folder of Windows CE. In Windows CE there are no Drive letters like in other
Windows Versions, so everything in the file system can be found under the root folder.
Almost every subfolder in the root folder resides in RAM, so if you copy/change/delete some-
thing there it will only have a temporary effect, after a power cycle all changes are reset to the
default state.
But there are some exceptions: The subfolder called "FlashDisk" is a special Flash File System
folder everything you write to this folder is persistent across power cycles.

Like the RAM file system, the Windows CE registry is only stored to RAM every setting you change
will be lost after a power cycle, but there is a small utility to save the registry persistently.
Click on the Update Tool icon and then press the button Save Registry to Flash.
You will get a message informing you if the saving was successful
3.2.2 PC Connectivity over Ethernet
The installation effort to set up an Ethernet connection depends on your available network infra-
structure.
If you have a DHCP server then it's very easy, just go to Start Menu->Settings->Network and Dial-
up Connections, double click on the network adapter and select "Obtain an IP address via
DHCP", confirm with OK.
If you don't have a DHCP server you can specify a static IP address to the system in this menu.
INFORMATION!
Don’t forget to make a Save Registry so the IP settings are stored persistent-
ly (See chapter Software and Registry).
Now if you have some shared files in your network you can easily access them by typing:
"\\computer name\share name" in the address bar of an explorer window.
After logging in you should be able to access the files on the network share.

3.2.3 Compilation / Debugging
There is a C/C++ compiler available from Microsoft© (“Visual Studio 2008”, higher Versions
aren´t supported)
To start with Microsoft offers a free 90 days trial version of Visual Studio 2008.
English: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/d/81d3f35e-fa03-485b-953b-
ff952e402520/VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso

1e4cd9d0f94a/VS2008ProEdition90DayTrialDEUX1435986.iso
INFORMATION!
These two download are not provided on the www.christ-elektronik.de
homepage.
1. Install Visual Studio 2008 first following the installation instructions. If you use Windows
EC 7 Download these two Updates in addition:
“Visual Studio 2008 update for Windows Embedded Compact 7”and
“Windows Embedded Compact 7 ATL Update for Visual Studio 2008
SP1”
Download it from www.christ-elektronik.de and install it.
2. Before you can write any applications you need to install an SDK.
3. Start the Windows Mobile Device Center and connect your
Touch-it CE Panel.
(see chapter Software -> Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center)
4. Start the Visual Studio 2008 and open a new project.
Select project type:
“Other Languages” -> “Visual C#” -> “Smart Device”
-> “Smart Device Project”

using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace SmartDeviceProject1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, here is Touch-it CE\n");
Console.WriteLine("from Christ-Elektronik GmbH");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
6. Debug your code and select the destination “SDK2wince7 ARMV7 Device”.
On the Touch-it CE Panel should appear a console application.
3.3 Flash Memory Layout
The Touch-it CE has an on board Flash memory 512 MB (Tegra T20). This Flash memory is divid-
ed as follows:
Description

3.4 Permanent Storage
Permanent data can be stored in the Touch-it CE in three different areas:
Flash Disk
SD Card
USB HD
You can find these 3 storage areas in My Device as seen below:
INFORMATION!
SD Card and USB HD will only appear when a SD Card or USB Stick is
inserted.

3.4.1 Flash Disk
The Touch-it CE comes with an on board Flash for permanent storage. You can find it in My De-
vice under FlashDisk. Any permanent data the user wishes to store on Flash memory must be lo-
cated in the FlashDisk folder. All other places in the File System (such as the windows folder) are
in the RAM image and therefore any files copied to or modified inside these folders will be lost
after any power fail.
3.4.2 MicroSD Card
The Touch-it CE has an external microSD Card slot for additional permanent storage. microSD
storage devices will appear under \SD Card in My Device. Data stored in this device is perma-
nent and will remain after a power fail.
3.4.3 USB HD
Permanent data can also be stored in any external USB Drive. External USB storage devices will
appear under \USB HD in My Device. Data stored in this device is permanent and will remain
after a power fail.

3.5 Registry
Just like the RAM File System, the Windows CE registry is only stored to RAM: every setting you
change will be lost after a power cycle (these include settings such as touch calibration, taskbar
settings and display settings.
However you can save the registry changes permanently with a small utility included in the Win-
dows CE image. In order to save the registry settings follow the steps below:
Double-click the Update Tool icon:
Click on the Save (Flash Registry) button:
Confirm the Windows dialog with OK.
