DevHealth60: CE 6.0 PowerToy for memory usage investigation

  • Artikkeli

I don’t like high jacking others blogs, but I am sure Mike won’t blame me for this one, right Mike?

So Mike published this post about a great PowerToy that will definitively help OEMs investigate their memory leaks issues.

In his words…

The Windows CE JDP team have just released a PowerToy for CE 6.0 called DevHealth60 – here’s a snip from the DevHealth60 whitepaper – This is a tool that can be used to monitor device memory usage or as the starting point for memory leak and other memory issues investigation. DevHealth60 is a standalone tool to run on Windows Embedded CE6.x devices to take snapshot of virtual memory and output overview of the device memory footprint and detailed memory space layout with page types for all processes. It sums up all the heap pages for each process, as well as the total heap usage for the device. It also gives you a summary for each heap for all processes, including the allocation size, the number of blocks, and the starting and ending addresses.

The DevHealth60 PowerToy can be found on MSDN Code Gallery

Here’s a screenshot of the DevHealth60 viewer application.

Note that this is a PowerToy, so there’s no official support for the tool, the authors will look out for comments/questions on the project homepage on MSDN Code Gallery.

    @Budi Your question is realted to Windows Mobile, not WIndows CE (even if Windows Mobile is based on CE, things work differently). I suspect you are trying to run the Windows installer directly on the device. You need to download the Smartphone version of MT4 from their Website (not the PDA one as the Samsung c6652 has no touch screen). Then if you choose the Windows installer, you need to run the installer on your PC with your device connected to the PC using bluetooth or USB cable and synvhronized with ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center if running Vista or WIndows 7). The other option is to download the cab version that would install directly on the device. -Olivier
