MIPS® MaltaTM Developer’s Kit - Getting Started with Windows® Embedded CE, Revision 6.03 4

1 Overview

This document describes how to get started with Microsoft® Windows® Embedded CE version 6.0 operating system

on the MIPS® Malta™development platform.

1.1 How to Get Started

New users of the Malta development platform are recommended to read and follow the guidelines in the document,

"Malta Developers Kit Getting Started" (MD00051), delivered along with the Malta board, to understand the basic

Malta hardware in operation and then continue with the guidelines in this document to proceed with setting up a Win-

dows Embedded CE development environment on Malta.

1.2 Target Hardware

The basic Malta hardware, as delivered, consists of the Malta motherboard and its daughter board, which carries a

suitable CPU (MIPS32-4Kc/4KEc/4KSc/24Kc/24Kf/34K/1004K or MIPS64-5Kc/5Kf/20Kc/25Kf) and System Con-

troller (Galileo GT64120, MIPS Bonito64, or MIPS SOCit™). The daughter board must be equipped with a minimum

32 MB PC100 SDRAM (64 MB is recommended). This release supports the L2 cache.

In addition to the basic Malta hardware, you will need:

• Suitable standard ATX cabinet with power supply. For a power supply with standby capabilities, a minimum cur-

rent of 720 mA is required (1A/1.5A peak recommended) for the 5V standby voltage.

• Windows Embedded CE compatible Video PCI card (the MIPS Malta BSP defaults to the ATI RageXL)

• Optional Windows Embedded CE compatible Audio PCI card (the MIPS Malta BSP defaults to the Ensoniq

ES1371 PDD)

• Optional NE2000 compatible Ethernet PCI card, when booting Windows Embedded CE stand alone applications.

(Nno KITL/VMINI transport)

• PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse

• VGA monitor

• Ethernet cables

• Parallel port cable for downloading Windows Embedded CE 6.0 boot loader

1.3 Host Development PC Requirements

Please see details on the Microsoft product, Windows Embedded CE 6.0, for the current list of requirements for the

host PC. Recent requirements included:

• 600 MHz Pentium (1 GHz recommended) processor

5 MIPS® MaltaTM Developer’s Kit - Getting Started with Windows® Embedded CE, Revision 6.03

• 192 MB RAM (256 MB recommended)

• Without MSDN, an aggragate of 3 GB, 3.8 or 4.8 GB with an MSDN installation

• CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is not required

• Graphics display of 800x600 at 256 colors; 1024x768 16-bit color recommended

• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

1.4 Required Software Tools

To start Windows Embedded CE development on Malta, you will need following software:

• Microsoft Windows Embedded CE version 6.0. This tool package contains Platform Builder 6.0, all the binary

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 OS kernels and system libraries, and the Microsoft® Visual C++® 2005.

NOTE: To get more information and to submit an order for the package, you may go to Microsoft’s website to

Products and Related Technologies, to Develop Tools, to Windows Embedded.

• MIPS Malta Development Platform BSP (release 06.00.00 or higher) for the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operat-

ing system

NOTE: Please send an email request to "[email protected]om" with subject "Request for MIPS Malta Windows

Embedded CE 6.0 BSP".

• A terminal emulation program for communicating with the Target Malta board via its Debug Serial port. We do

not recommend using HyperTerm, as it can be confusing when used in this system to determine the order of lines

displayed from the target. Alternatives include Tera Term, which is a free terminal emulator (see The Tera Term

Home Page) and Procomm Plus32, which can be purchased from Datastorm Technologies.

7 MIPS® MaltaTM Developer’s Kit - Getting Started with Windows® Embedded CE, Revision 6.03

For Windows Embedded CE on Malta, following locations are important to notice:

• ’JP4’ (left side): jumpers to control the PCI clock frequency

• ’S5-0’ (right side): dip switch "PROG" controls programming of on-board flash via the parallel port

• ’S5-1’ (right side): dip switch "BIGEND" controls endianness and must be set ’OFF’ = ’little endian’, as the

Windows Embedded CE operating system is available (compiled) for ’little endian’ only

• ’J12’-’J15’: PCI slots 1-4

2.1 Jumper Settings

By default, no jumpers are fitted on the Malta board.

NOTE: When using a Malta daughter board with a core bus speed slower than the default PCI-clock of 33 MHz, the

PCI-clock speed must be adjusted via jumper block JP4 to be the same or slower than the core bus speed. See "Malta

User’s Manual" (MD00048) Table 23 "Jumpers" for a list of available PCI-clock speeds and jumper combinations.

2.2 DIP Switch Settings

The dip switch, S5-1 BIGEND, must be set to OFF to set endianness = little. (The Windows Embedded CE operating

system is always compiled for little endianness.)

2.3 Installing PCI Cards

PCI cards may be installed in any slot on the Target Malta board, but some slots share interrupt lines with other

devices on the PCI bus. PCI card placement may affect interrupt priority and latency.

PCI devices map to the following interrupts:

• PCI slot 1 maps to PCI INTA which is steered to IRQ5 on the PIIX4E South Bridge Interrupt Controller

• PCI slot 2 and the on-board AMD Ethernet Controller (AM79C973) map to PCI INTB which is steered to IRQ10

on the PIIX4E South Bridge Interrupt Controller

• PCI slot 3 and the on-board Crystal Audio Controller (CS4281) map to PCI INTC which is steered to IRQ11 on

the PIIX4E South Bridge Interrupt Controller

• PCI slot 4 and the on-board PIIX4E USB Host Controller map to PCI INTD which is steered to IRQ9 on the

PIIX4E South Bridge Interrupt Controller

2.3.1 Network Cards

When using the Malta board with Platform Builder, the Malta on-board Ethernet Controller is supported by the shared

Ethernet driver of the MIPS Malta BSP, providing download and debug network traffic and application network traf-

fic as well. However, the shared Ethernet driver cannot be used for stand alone Windows Embedded CE applications,

when booting Windows Embedded CE images in non-debug mode. Therefore, to obtain network access for stand

MIPS® MaltaTM Developer’s Kit - Getting Started with Windows® Embedded CE, Revision 6.03 8

alone applications, an NE2000-compatible PCI Ethernet Controller may be installed in an available PCI slot. See the

Windows Embedded CE documentation for a list of supported PCI Ethernet Controllers.

3 Host Development PC Setup

3.1 Installing the Windows Embedded CE Tools

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 is delivered in conjuction with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. To install, you will first

install the Microsoft Visual Studio Suite, and then install Windows Embedded CE 6.0. Follow the installation instruc-

tions for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 first, which will lead you through two discs.

During installation configuration of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 , you will be asked to select which CPUs will be

supported. Please select all of the following:

• MIPSII

• MIPSII_FP

• MIPSIV

• MIPSIV_FP

3.2 Installing the MIPS Malta BSP

You can download the MIPS Malta BSP from the MIPS Technologies web site: http://www.mips.com/products/soft-

waretools/system_software/Windows_CE_BSP.php.

The download includes:

• This document (MD00141 – MaltaTM Developer’s Kit – Getting Started with Windows Embedded Embedded CE

6.0)

• Release Notes, in readme.txt

• Microsoft Installation package

The MIPS Malta BSP source, a Platform Builder CEC description file, and a readme.txt file detailing use of the BSP

with the Malta development board, are located in the Microsoft Installation package.

Double-click on the MSI file to begin installing the MIPS Malta BSP and follow the Package Wizard instructions to

complete the installation.

3.3 Verify the Windows Embedded CE Tool Installation

Now everything should be installed on the Host Development PC and the Windows Embedded CE development envi-

ronment for MIPS Malta BSP should be ready. The installation should be verified by building a Windows Embedded

9 MIPS® MaltaTM Developer’s Kit - Getting Started with Windows® Embedded CE, Revision 6.03

CE sample image. The following example describes how to build a sample image with the ready to use sample plat-

form, "Internet Appliance", and built for a "MIPSII" kernel, which is compliant with all supported MIPS CPU cards

on Malta.

Lauch Start-> All Programs-> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005-> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and execute the follow-

ing steps:

1. Enter File -> New-> Project

2. Select “Platform Builder for CE 6.0” in the left pane, and “OS Design” in the right. Enter a name for your new

design, and press OK.

3. Press Next.

4. Select “MIPS Malta: MIPSII”, and press Next.

5. Select Industrial Device and press Next.

6. Select Internet Appliance and press Next.

7. Press Finish,

8. The pop-up “Catalog Item Notification” is a standard Microsoft security warning; press Acknowledge.

9. Select “Build Solution” from the Build pull-down menu to build the Windows Embedded CE sample image and

await build completion. For those with prior experience with Microsoft CE products, avoid the “Advanced Build

Commands” -> “Build and Sysgen” option; it rebuilds code for which libraries are shipped that you do not need

to rebuild.

Verify that the image builds to completion with no errors.

You can change build options by selecting the Project -> Properties pull-down. In the pop-up window, select Config-

uration Properities -> Build Options. For example, if you are doing a release build, you may still want to enable the

Debugger.

NOTE: For Step 9, a potential risk exists, especially when building big images like debug images, to get build errors

like "Error: Too much data space used by DLLs in MODULES section....". The reason is that more static memory

than the default (min. 32 MB device) is required and must be assigned by setting a predefined environment variable

"IMGRAM64" to "1" (min. 64 MB device). This Build Option can be found on the same pop-up window as described

in the previous paragraph – it is labeled “Run-time image can be larger than 32 MB (IMGRAM64=1)”.

Once you have done a build, you can modify the build options, or the BSP code, and need not recompile the entire

Windows Embedded CE space. You can rebuild just the BSP by going into the Solution Explorer, expand your solu-

tion name, and the top of the Windows Embedded CE tree, expand PLATFORM, and you will see “MIPS_MALTA”.

If you right-click on MIPS_MALTA, you can do a build (or re-build) just from there, for a great savings of time. Note

this will not work if you have not already completed a build, or if you have changed anything outside the scope of the

BSP.

4 Target Software Setup

4.1 Installing the Windows Embedded CE Boot loader

After the MIPS Malta BSP has been installed into Platform Builder, The Windows Embedded CE boot loader binary

files and a readme.txt file detailing the installation of the boot loader, is located in the following directory:

%_WINCEROOT%\PLATFORM\MIPS_MALTA\bin

This directory contains the boot loader images for the Target Malta board in Motorola S-record format, Yamon BIN

format and MIPS Malta 1284 Flash Download format. There are two types of BOOT images delivered with the MIPS

Malta BSP. One supports at least 32 MB of RAM, and the other supports at least 64 MB of RAM. Please choose the

appropriate image for your application.

The MIPS Malta boot loader for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 is not backwards-compatible with OS images built on

an older version of Windows CE.

4.1.1 Binary installation: BOOT_xxx.fl

The MIPS Malta Flash Download binary file, BOOT_xxx.fl, may be downloaded via the Parallel port to the Target

Malta board.

Take note of the Device Name, as you will need it later when connecting the Target Malta board to the Host Develop-

ment PC.

After configuration has completed, the Malta development board provides standard Windows CE SDB development

services, accessible from the Host Development PC via the Platform Builder tools.

5 Host/Target Connectivity

After the Host Development PC and Target Malta board have been set up and configured, Windows Embedded CE

6.0 images can be downloaded and debugged using the KITL transport and debug services in Platform Builder. To

verify KITL is working, performing the following steps:

1. Check that the Target Malta Board is still sending "BOOTME" messages. If not, then reset the board and allow

the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 boot loader to reinitialize.

2. On the Host Development PC side, start Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and open the Sample Project that you

made. Then enter the pull-down menu Target -> Connectivity Options …. Bring the Connectivity Options pop-up

window the foreground.

3. Set Download and Transport both to Ethernet and press ’Settings’ beside the ’Download’ pane to enter the

"Ethernet Download Settings" submenu to select the target device (the target device name should appear in the

selection pane), while the target issues the ’BOOTME’ messages.

4. Finally go to submenu Target->Attach Device to start the download.

5. You should now see the following debug messages on the terminal emulator:

Sent BOOTME to 255.255.255.255
