How to Use the BSP for the NEC Solution Gear 2-Vr5500 Development Kit (Windows CE 5.0)
You can use the sample board support package (BSP) provided by Microsoft® Windows® CE for the NEC Solution Gear 2-Vr5500 Development Kit to quickly evaluate the Windows CE operating system (OS) features.
For more information about the sample BSPs included in Platform Builder for MIPS microprocessors, see MIPS BSPs.
Hardware and Software Assumptions
- You included support for MIPSII, MIPSII_FP, MIPSIV, and MIPSIV_FP microprocessors when you installed Platform Builder. If you did not, reinstall Platform Builder and include MIPSII, MIPSII_FP, MIPSIV, and MIPSIV_FP microprocessor support.
- You are downloading a Windows CE run-time image to an NEC Solution Gear 2-Vr5500 Development Kit.
