Preparing Target Device to Connect to VS2008 IDE
To download the
VS2008_Win32_HelloWorld
application to the Compact 7 target device, you need
to establish connectivity between the target device and VS2008 IDE using CoreCon.
To establish CoreCon connectivity, CoreCon files from the following directory on the VS2008
development station must be included in the Compact 7 device’s run-time image, or made
accessible from the Compact 7 device’s file system:
\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Corecon\1.0\Target\wce400
There are multiple sub-folders, with names corresponding to the CPU architectures, under the
above directory. Each of these folders contains CoreCon component files to support the
corresponding CPU family. These CoreCon files are installed to the development station during the
Visual Studio 2008 installation process.
Note:
The SBC is built with x86 CPU architecture. The CoreCon files needed to support the SBC are in the
“\x86” sub folder.
As part of the exercise in the earlier steps, the
AutoLaunch_v300_Compact7
component and
Autolaunch CoreCon
sub-component are included in the OS design and compiled as part of the OS
run-time image. The AutoLaunch component is configured to launch the CoreCon executable during
startup.
If the CoreCon files are not included as part of the OS run-time image, you need to manually copy
the necessary CoreCon files to the Compact 7 target device’s \Windows directory and manually
launch the
ConmanClient2.exe
and
CMaccept.exe
executable.
