I'm currently using eVC++ 4.0 for writing some small test programs on the i.MX31 LITEKIT. You could also use their GNU tool chain to write stand-alone applications (i.e. apps that didn't run on top of WinCE.) but this option would require more setup work on your end.

eVC++ is available for download from Microsoft's web site. Once you have that you'll need to get the WinCE image and SDK from LogicPD. You have to first be a registered user. Once you are registered you can 'log in' to url]http://www.logicpd.com/auth/[/url] Download the WinCE image
at http://www.logicpd.com/downloads/archives/2023/imx31_dev_image.zip

As far as support from LogicPD, you won't get any until you buy a support contract.

They do offer classes that can really help get you started. That's probably one of the better ways to get started, but those classes are generally offered at their location, not yours. (Maybe they'd fly a trainer out to your location for a nominal fee, maybe not.)

Dear Spannring,

Many thanks for your reply. I have read a lot of post in this forum and the people is stoped for lack of information or working with WinCE like you or Linux.

I am looking for a simple structure with the software for the pcb initialization to start without operative system. I don't understand as LOGIC and Freescale don't give these files. I believe, for my experience that this information is the minimun to start a project.

Regards and thanks in advance to the new topics,


Bart

I have two projects going on right now that will use the i.MX31. The first will run on NOS (aka No-Operating System). For the second we haven't decided whether to go with Linux or WinCE. For both systems we are planning to let LoLo do the initial board configuration. For the production systems we plan to store our application in flash and have a LoLo script jump to the beginning of the application after LoLo has done the initial board initialization.


You'll want to look at the LogicLoader manual. It will answer some of your questions.
