Downloading Multimedia to the 3-Stack 
Board 

There are three ways to load multimedia content to the 3-Stack board using the Windows 
Embedded CE 6.0 image provided:

• Using Active Sync

• Using an SD Card

• Using a USB Card 

Using Active Sync

Active Sync is a very useful tool to use with a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 device. To 
obtain the Active Sync download and instructions, go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx/

Once Active Sync is installed, you can set up communication between your host PC and 
the 3-Stack board. 

To establish a communication between the Host PC and the 3-Stack board, follow these  
steps:

1. Make sure that the 3-Stack board is ON and running the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 

image.

2. Make sure that Active Sync is running on your host PC (the Active Sync icon should 

appear gray on the Windows task bar).

3. Use the A to mini AB USB cable provided in your i.MX27 MAX WPDK kit and 

connect the mini AB end to the J10 USB OTG connector on the Personality board, 
then connect the other end to the any available USB port on your Host PC. 

Windows will recognize the 3-Stack board as a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Device 
and the Active Sync wizard will appear on the Host PC (

Figure 4.3

).
