Command line error d8004 under Windows Embedded Compact

Hi folks,

Did you ever come across the following error:

cl command line error d8004 ' /I' requires an argument

this error point to the INCLUDES (‘/I’) macro in the SOURCES file.

Possible reasons are you passed an empty (undefined) variable or you specified a path which contains spaces. Please make sure that you only use Platform Builder environment variables such as _TARGETPLATROOT to specify paths in the INCLUDES macro, also never use a relative paths like ..\myDir\myInclude.h

Have fun!

Windows Embedded Compact: Speeding up the build

Hi folks,

you probably all had the painful experience of waiting about 30 minutes while your Platform Builder performs a builddemo –q. Obviously you don’t have to perform a complete build each time but sometimes it is simply necessary.

One way to speed up the build is to utilize the multiprocessor build. But if you do, be careful to use synchronization macros (such as SYNCHONIZE_DRAIN) where needed and only where needed as theses macros will completely stall the build process until synchronization is completed.

Enabling multiprocessor build is very simple: form the Platform Builder Tools menu choose Options… The options for Multiprocessor Build can be found directly under Platform Builder for CE:

Windows Embedded Roadmap 2011 announced!

Hi folks,

I promised you some very interesting news in my Windows Embedded Channel & Partner Summit 2011 post and I can finally share them with you:

Yesterday Microsoft presented a long overdue Windows Embedded roadmap (find the official press release here).

The roadmap focuses on next generation embedded devices known as Intelligent Systems that extend cloud services and enterprise software to specialized devices. Basically an Intelligent System consist of
1. Thin client devices collecting data in the field
2. Connected to any number of servers running intelligent back-end application(s) analyzing and computing the collected data. Upon completion of data analysis instructing the thin client(s) what to do in this specific situation
3. Thru continuous collection of data by the thin client(s) (over years) the Intelligent System gets better and better results

This scenario shows that data and insights become the fundamental benefits.

Microsoft promises a One Platform approach to best support Intelligent Systems:

Windows Embedded Standard v. Next:
- Based on Windows 8 technologies
- Componentize able version of Windows 8
- Supports x86, x64 and ARM SoC
- Natural User Interface (NUI): touch, gesture, speech, …
- Community Technology Preview (CTP): first quarter 2012
- RTM: 3 quarters after Windows 8

Windows Embedded Enterprise v. Next:
- Based on Windows 8 technolgies
- Supports x86, x64 only
- NUI
- RTM: 1 quarter after Windows 8

Windows Embedded Compact v. Next:
- Still based on CE core: real-time, small footprint
- Smart Device support for native application development support in Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio v. Next
- Unfortunately no mentions of future of managed application support as well as future of .NET Compact Framework
- File system improvements to handle generated and collected data
- Kernel improvements
- RTM: 2nd half 2012

Windows Embedded Handheld, Windows Embedded Automotive, Windows Embedded POSReady v. Next:
- Microsoft is investing in the future of these products

With this roadmap, Microsoft does show their long-term commitment in the embedded market so go ahead and start you Windows Embedded project with a quiet conscience!

Have fun!

Windows Phone 7.5 Mango now available

Hi folks,

Last night Microsoft released the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango update (7720). The update brings over 500 new features to your Windows Phone 7 including LinkedIn and Twitter integration, Facebook- and MSN-chat, improved IE9 browser, contact grouping,… further information about the new features of Windows Phone 7.5 can be found here.


Nearly all providers worldwide have started to deploy the Windows Phone 7.5 update (see complete list). The only exception in Germany being the Deutsche Telekom for the Samsung Omnia 7 device. However, there is a workaround for Samsung Omnia 7 devices from Deutsche Telekom:

1. Connect your Omnia 7 to Zune
2. Click Phone->Settings->Update (Jetzt aktualisieren) in Zune
3. Immediately disconnect your PC from the internet (e.g. disconnect LAN cable/WLAN, disconnect router, etc,..) This has to be done BEFORE the notification that no update is available is displayed!
4. A notification is displayed that there is indeed an update available to version 7720
5. Reconnect your PC to the internet to download and install this update.

I will update my HTC HD7 tonight!

Error: Failed reading e32 structure in module…

Hi folks,

when working with Windows Embedded Compact you should be used to non-descriptive error messages like the following:

Error: Failed reading e32 structure in module <module_name>
Fatal error hit, exiting…
makeimg: FATAL ERROR: Command returned non-zero exit code 1 (dec).
makeimg: FATAL ERROR: Command returned non-zero exit code 1 (dec).

We immediately know this error occurred in the make image phase of the build process, so there must be something wrong with one of our configuration files.

The solution is rather simple:
We placed a file (namely <module_name>) that is NOT an *.exe or a *.dll in the MODULES section of a *.bib file.

We therefore simply need to move that <module_name>file to the FILES section of the *.bib and re-run make image.

Et voilà another mystic error message deciphered!

Windows 8 Developer Preview

Hi folks,

last week Microsoft launched the Windows 8 Developer Preview at the BUILD Conference in Anaheim, CA.


The first thing that you will notice is the new so called “Metro Style” UI with its “Live Tiles”. This UI should look somewhat familiar to you if you use a Windows Phone 7. Windows 8 still provides the “old” desktop as well.

As an embedded developer I am particularly interested in Windows 8’s ARM SoC (System-On-Chip) support. So far Windows 8 runs on ARM based SoCs from NVIDIA, Qualcomm as well as Texas Instruments. As of now those SoCs supporting Windows 8 consist of a CPU and a GPU only. So far the only ARM based devices that Windows 8 was shown on are Tablet PCs. I am really eager to see how (and if) Windows 8 will be brought into the embedded world…

Windows 8 also comes with a new framework to develop “Metro Style Apps”, called Windows Runtime (WinRT). The classical application development frameworks like Win32, .NET Framework, Silverlight and HTML5 are still available.


Unlike any of the classical application development frameworks, the new WinRT allows you to develop your “Metro Style App” in any language you prefer, based on the same framework (namly WinRT), allowing a better interaction between “Metro Style Apps”.

So go ahead: download and play around with the Windows 8 Developer preview!

Default\Default\What?

Loading USB and HID drivers depends on Registry keys.
The USB driver tries to find the best fitting driver for an attached device.
Typical Registry keys are
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\LoadClients\Default\Default\3\Hid_Class]
"DLL"="USBHID.DLL"
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default\Default\1_2\Mouse]
"DLL"="MOUHID.DLL"

But what exactly is coded with "Default\Default\3"?
You may guess, it is somehow related to the vendor and the type of the device.

The easy part is to google/bing (can Bing be used as a verb?) the USB Class Codes at USB.org
http://www.usb.org/developers/defined_class
In this example "3" stands for the Interface "HID (Human Interface Device)"
and "1_2" stands for HID Mouse,
see http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/HID1_11.pdf

The Microsoft online help hides the syntax anywhere in the middle of this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee484468.aspx
In my own words it stats:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\LoadClients\\\\]
where
Group1_ID = Default|DeviceVendorID[_DeviceProductID[_DeviceReleaseNumber]]
Group2_ID = Default|DeviceClassCode[_DeviceSubclassCode[_DeviceProtocolCode]]
Group3_ID = Default|InterfaceClassCode[_InterfaceSubclassCode[_InterfaceProtocolCode]]

The following two pieces of the puzzle are missing:
* The syntax is similar for HID devices.
* All numbers are DECIMAL! This includes VendorIDs and DeviceIDs!

Example:
VendorID: 0x045e=1118 Microsoft Corp.
DeviceID: 0x0040=64 Wheel Mouse Optical

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\1118_64\Default\1_2\WheelMouse]
"DLL"="WheelMouse.DLL"

Contrary to this example you should write a general-purpose and Vendor-INdependent driver.

Installing Windows Embedded CE 6.0 QFEs under Windows 7

Hi foks,

I have recently installed Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 on a Windows 7 32-bit machine. In his Blog, fellow MVP Valter Minute described how to install Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on Windows 7 64-bit system.

Installing Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 was no problem at all (other than the usual lengthy process). However, I could not install the QFEs (or any *.msi file for that matter). I always got this error message:


Desperately surfing the net I came across a post stating I need to re-register vbscript.dll and jscript.dll. After doing so I was still faced with the same error message when trying to install a *.msi file.

Valter’s 64-bit post provided me with the solution (thanks Valter!):
I wrote a batch file re-registering the above mentioned script dlls and installing the QFE *.msi files. I ran that batch file as administrator et voilà, it worked.

Not only did I have to re-register the above mentioned script dlls as administrator, I also needed to install the *.msi files as administrator which I only could accomplish from within the batch file.

Here are the batch commands to re-register the script dlls under Windows 7 32-bit (find the 64-bit commands in Valter’s post):

reg delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}" /f
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll


Have fun!

UPDATE:
Jérôme highlighted an even easier way to install *.msi files under Windows 7 in the comment section:


You can also just go to msi file properties > compatibility tab >
check "run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose "Previous version
of Windows" (not sure of the exact english labels since I have a french version
of Windows).

That just works :)

Thank you so much Jérôme!

MVP Program: Why Microsoft is 3X Better than Apple for Customer Support

Hi folks,

This is a bit off-topic but nevertheless interesting: In the article Why Microsoft is 3X Better than Apple for Customer Support the MVP Program is pointed out as one of the keys to Microsoft’s success:



Microsoft has over 4100 MVP’s that are certified to provide support to its
customers. According to Toby Richards, Microsoft’s General Manager of
Communities and Online Support, these MVP’s are thirty times more active than
the average user. In fact, Microsoft considers them a “tremendous asset that
provide support in multiple languages across 98 countries.”

So you miss AppVerifier for Windows Embedded Compact 7

Hi folks,

as you know AppVerifier was replaced by Resource Leak Detector (RLD) in Windows Embedded Compact 7. Unfortunately RLD does not cover all the scenarios you could use AppVerifier for.

So today is your lucky day: you can find an updated version of AppVerifier for Windows Embedded Compact 7 that allows the creation of custom shims and does NOT require a KITL connection on MSDN Code Gallery.

Windows Embedded Compact 7: Silverlight for Windows Embedded Tutorial Part 2

Hi folks,

in my first tutorial I showed you how to create a Silverlight for Windows Embedded (SWE) application for Windows Embedded Compact 7 using Expression Blend 3, PlatformBuilder and the Windows Embedded Silverlight Tools (WEST) to create a PlatformBuilder subproject.

Today I want to show you how you can use WEST to create a SWE application stand-alone from Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008) WITHOUT PlatformBuilder.

For this tutorial you need to have VS2008 SP1 installed on your machine.

1. Download and install WEST.

NOTE: For this tutorial we will use the WEST sample project that can be found under C:\Program Files\Windows Embedded Silverlight Tools\WindowsEmbeddedSilverlightClock. Of course you can simply reuse the SWE project we created for the first tutorial.

2. Export/install a Windows Embedded Compact 7 SDK that supports SWE.

3. Open VS2008, go to File New Project… Select Visual C++ Smart Device as the project type and use the WEST template Silverlight for Windows Embedded Application. Choose an appropriate project name and location.


Click the OK button.

4. Click the Next button in the appearing Silverlight for Windows Embedded Project Wizard.


5. Select your Platform SDK with SWE support that we installed in step 2. Click Next.


6. Select the above mentioned Expression Blend project.


7. Click Next to generate the C++ code for our SWE project.


NOTE: If the path to the Expression Blend project contains spaces the validation will return errors. Since we are not creating a PlatformBuilder subproject, these errors will not concern us.

8. We can now build and deploy our SWE application.


Congratulation and have fun!

You think you know everything about SOURCES files (Part 2)

I hope this will be the last of it ;-)

These lines are very common in SOURCES files:
SOURCES=\
a.cpp \
b.cpp

but sometimes people write this:
SOURCES=a.cpp b.cpp

This is perfectly correct for the build process.

But the platform builder IDE claims a very unexpected restriction:
Never separate the list of files with a TAB; always use SPACES!
Otherwise Visual Studio will crash without any helpful message.
It will crash when you enable the corresponding Catalog Item.
You will unsuccessfully search in the XML files for your bug.

You think you know everything about SOURCES files

... but sometimes there are strange mysteries to fix.
This lines are very common in SOURCES files:
INCLUDES= \
$(INCLUDES); \
MyIncPath; \

But sometimes you have to change the order of include pathes
in order to find a header file in MyIncPath first:
INCLUDES= \
MyIncPath; \
$(INCLUDES); \


That's the compiler message and it isn't helpful as always:
BUILD: [01:0000000029:ERRORE] cl : Command line error D8004 : '/I' requires an argument

Even Build.log doesn't clear the clouds:
BUILD: [01:0000000027:INFO ] cl -nologo ...
-Ix86\ -I. -IMyIncPath

-IC:\WINCE600\public\common\oak\inc

-IC:\WINCE600\public\common\ddk\inc

-IC:\WINCE600\public\common\sdk\inc

-I
-I.\Resource\0409 ... C:\WINCE600\platform\MyBSP\Src\Drivers\MyDriver\.\MyFile.cpp

Yes, there is an extra "-I" parameter, but why?

The answer is simple:
INCLUDES= \
MyIncPath; \

$(INCLUDES)

Do you see the difference?
