Downloading and booting WinCE on a LapTop
-
In Platform builder (3.0), I created a CEPC based WinCE OS which I want to download on a Laptop (Toshiba Tecra 8000) by using the parallel port since the laptop does not have the required CE-Debug compatible ethernet card. the "loadcepc.exe" programs always fails with: " Sending boot packet: aa WaitForStatus: PPSH Disconnected " I am able to start a release build of the WinCE OS (Kernel debugging disabled) after I copied the nk.bin file over to the target. However a debug build always resets the machine. Is there something wrong (not standard) with the parallel port of the Laptop? Hints and tips receive a warm welcome. BR, Gert. -------------------------------------------------- If my messages appear curt, I apologize.

never mind, I just figured out I need a special parallel cable, which my collegue manufactured while burning his fingers with the solder... -------------------------------------------------- If my messages appear curt, I apologize.
