Package puts Win CE on NXP micros
Adeneo has collaborated with NXP to produce a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 board support package for the LPC3000 MCU family.
Board support packages cover new CE release
Adeneo is now offering free access for evaluation to the complete source code of all its board support packages.
With the Trango Hypervisor, Windows Embedded CE can, on a single-core platform, run in parallel with security-certified applications and with the same functionality, security level, and certification process of a dual-core or dual-chip platform.
Meanwhile, SoC and system manufacturers have the ability to focus on Windows Embedded CE integration and applications deployment thanks to Adeneo's expertise in Microsoft embedded OSs.
Trango's Hypervisor runs securely multiple virtual processors on a single CPU.

Windows Embedded port suits low-cost peripherals
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 BSP for NXP Semiconductors LH7A404 ARM9 processor-based microcontrollers gives users access to low-power, cost-effective peripherals, including an integrated LCD display.
CE BSP supports embedded Atmel ARMs
The combination of the Cogent CSB737 development kit with the Adeneo BSP creates an ideal starting point for OEMs developing smart Windows Embedded CE-based devices.
These virtual processors are isolated from each other.
One virtual processor runs a certified OS and/or application.
Another runs Windows Embedded CE, without costly certification constraints.
This combined solution provides an open, full-featured platform, in conjunction with a cost-effective certification process identical to the traditional dual processor approach.
Yannick Chamming's, General Manager of Windows Embedded activity at Adeneo, and CEO of Adeneo America says: "Demand for greater connectivity and richer multimedia features has increased significantly for the past couple of years in security markets such as medical or payment terminals".
"Windows Embedded CE 6.0 provides a strong and reliable solution to meet these needs, but the requirements (in terms of certification) that drive these markets make the integration of an off the shelf operating system such as Windows Embedded CE 6.0 a difficult and time-consuming task".
"Trango Virtual Processors' Hypervisor brings a reliable, easy to use and cost effective solution to combine the high-end advanced communication and multimedia features of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 with the dedicated certified solutions required by critical security markets".
Pierre Coulombeau, COO at Trango Virtual Processors, adds: "With Adeneo's experience in Windows Embedded CE integration and development, our partnership is all the more relevant for customers requiring security certification and planning new value added deployment through Windows Embedded CE.
Thanks to our secure virtualisation solution and Adeneo's technical expertise, customers will easily achieve the highest security levels coupled with new high-end application value".
The first step of the partnership was taken during the Microsoft Mobile and Embedded Developers Conference (MEDC) in Las Vegas, where the companies presented and demonstrated how Windows Embedded CE 6.0 can be quickly and easily integrated into security-critical devices.
Focusing on secure firmware update, the demo highlighted the ability of secure applications to run isolated from Windows Embedded CE 6.0, ensuring that these critical tasks and applications are performed regardless of what takes place in the open OS.
Ilya Bulkhstein Director of Windows Embedded Marketing at Microsoft Corp, comments: "Adeneo, as one of our Gold Partners on Microsoft Windows Embedded technology, with strong skills on system integration, has a significant role in reducing the time to market of our customers' designs".
"Their partnership with Trango Virtual Processors brings reliable support to OEMs willing to benefit from Windows Embedded CE 6.0's rich features for security-critical devices".
