This manual introduces how to develop applications under Windows CE 6.0 platform, including Windows CE 6.0 boot process, peripheral support, tool installation, application development, hardware API function usage, etc.
This guide provides everything needed to develop applications on the BCT RE1 platform running Windows CE 6.0. It covers the boot process, peripheral support, installation of Visual Studio 2005 and the RE1 SDK, and detailed usage of the hardware API libraries such as SMBUS, LCD Brightness, GPIO, and Watchdog.
The document also describes the RE1 hardware features—including USB host, Ethernet, serial ports, micro‑SD card slot, battery‑backed real‑time clock, and backlight control—plus how to configure the system registry, calibrate the touch screen, and perform system resets.
| Micro SD Card Support | Up to 4 GB, SDHC not supported |
|---|---|
| USB Host | OHCI compatible |
| GPIO Pins | 12 configurable pins |
| Serial Ports | 2 RS232 ports, 1 RS422/485 port |
| Real‑Time Clock | Battery‑backed |
| Ethernet | 10/100 Mbps |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | 10 ms to 1270 ms (in 10 ms steps) |
Call the BCTEnableWatchdog function from the Watchdog API, passing a timeout value (10 ms steps, 1‑127). The function returns WATCHDOG_OK on success.
The RE1 provides up to 12 GPIO pins, each configurable as input or output. Two pins are mutually exclusive with the IRDA port and three with the I2S peripheral.
