WinCE working without LCD/TSLIB

fred_from_france
Hello,
after developping my first test application ( thanks for domodom for all
the tutorial ), i would like to go further with my mini2440.
My goal is to use the without LCD/TS because it's a real embedded
application. so i would like to remove all the LCD drivers, and just
communicate eventually with a serial com.

Is it possible with Windows CE ? how to do ?

Thank you for your help
Fred

Hello Fred, 
With a ethernet cable, you can use FTP to upload/download file to/from the
mini2440, and Telnet to obtain access to a console (like the DOS like
console you have when you lauch cmd.exe).
If you don't need to update your nk.bin, i think it could be enough.
Best regards
Domodom

You can too use the remote desktop.

Hi,

WinCE is designed to be completely embedded. But that will complicate
things. 

Your app will probably have to be a console app, and you will have to auto
start it. I don't think the usual auto start will work as that is done by
the GUI, I think.

If i remember correctly then you can shrink the image to around 5MB if you
rip out all the GUI stuff, but don't quote me on that, I looked at that
MANY years ago.

But there should be help files with WinCE for headless setups...

Thanks,
Errol
