Booting Windows CE using RedBoot from a Windows Based Host PC
by Gerry Vahe
1. PURPOSE
This application note will discuss a non-native way to load Windows CE® onto the Cirrus Logic EDB9312 development board. Traditionally, to load a Windows CE image onto a hardware platform such as the EDB9312 requires that the host PC have Platform Builder® installed. (Platform Builder is the Microsoft tool for Windows CE development and is used in conjunction with EBOOT to load an image onto a development board.) This application note will discuss the use of the RedBoot® boot loader instead. This application note assumes the user has a RAM based Windows CE image, binary code for RedBoot, and the EP9312 download utility.
