    Greetings.

    I've recently been tasked with trying to pull together a project using a Logic LH7A404 development board and LCD, but I've run into a snag.

    The pre-built image available for download (LH7A404_DEV_IMAGE_For_All_Other_PNs.zip) includes the .NET Compact Framework V1 runtime components, but I am using VS2005 which only supports .NET CF V2 when building WinCE 5.0 projects.

    "Installing" the CF V2 runtime works until the board is reset, at which point it reverts to CF V1. I'm assuming thats because the "Windows" directory is expanded from the NK.bin file into RAM, and thus gets wiped out each time the board is reset.

    I would rather not hassle with the entire BSP process just to update the .NET CF files, so if there is any way to get an updated version of the DEV image with .NET CF V2 components posted to the download section I would greatly appreciate it.

    Or, if there is a work around to get VS2005 to build .NET CF V1 projects for WinCE 5 I'd love to know about it. Several hours searching the web has produced nothing useful.

    Thanks.

    Even if Logic or someone else with access to a A404 provides you with a BSP with .NET V2 in it, I would imagine that in the long term you'd want to tailor the image specifically for your project to ensure that the space you are using is for things that make sense for your project.

    So, with that in mind, you might as well setup Platform Builder and roll your own BSP..

    Since this is currently just for a demo its not very likely I'm going to get management to buy into purchasing a 5 hour support contract just so I can integrate .NET CF V2 into the downloaded image.

    Otherwise, you're completely right.

    Just out of curiosity, is there some specific reason Logic can't/won't provide an image that works with more current development tools?
