    A window appears, displaying the progress of the download to the Emulator. Then the MyOSDesign - Emulator for Windows CE window appears.

    For this tutorial, the OS appears in about a minute. The length of time required to display the OS depends on the size of the run-time image being downloaded.

    While the run-time image is being downloaded, in Platform Builder, you can see intermittent activity in the Debug tab of the Output window.

    When the OS boots successfully, the Windows CE OS appears in the MyOSDesign - Emulator for Windows CE window.

You can now debug the OS.
