2-4 Developing CE Drivers and Applications
Device driver developers should consider also installing the Microsoft
Windows CE Platform Builder, which contains support for kernel level
CE development that is not found in the other toolkits. However,
Platform builder is not necessary for most driver development work.
Details of the installation procedures are beyond the scope of this
manual. Please follow the instructions provided by Microsoft.
Finally, the MobileView SDK should be installed. (See detailed
instructions below.)
Setting Up the Development System
1. First, install Microsoft

on the host system. This
utility is needed to download applications to the MobileView
terminal and supports several helpful remote development tools.
ActiveSync 3.7 is available for download from Microsoft at

Terminal User Manual (2727-UM002) and the MobileView
Machine Terminal User Manual (2727-UM003) both contain
detailed information about connections.
2. Next, install Microsoft

eMbedded Visual C++ 4.x and Service
Pack 1. This is the development environment for building

Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools 4.x is available
without charge, except for a nominal shipping and
handling charge. Accordingly, it is an economical
tool for developers of new CE only applications.
