My institute has a genuine copy of Platform Builder for Windows CE 5.0 given by Microsoft. Is it possible to develop a 5.0 ROM for Magician using that?
No.
You need a BSP (Board Support Package) from the OEM that contains all the drivers and settings for a specific device.
Plus, there is a different Platform Builder for Windows CE and Windows Mobile.
Thank you very much. But I'd like to ask how do they realize Linux on Magician.

via reverse engeneering.
You can do the same - reverse engeneer the ROM, recreate BSP for magician and compile Windows CE 5.0, or even Windows CE 6.0 for your device. It would take 1-2 years for this to do.
You would be unable to compile Windows Mobile 5.0 because you don't have WinMobile adaptation kit. MS provides it to OEMs only.
And you should know the difference between CE and WM.

Hi developers!
My question is where can i download windows mobile 6 build system (i don't know, in wince it is platform builder and visual studio) for building images for custom hardware platform. I know that it is not open for free, but i've red that a lot of developers downloaded it. It is my dream to install windows mobile 6 on my hardware platform, so help me please how can! Thanks
there was a trial version of it somewhere in MS site but you have to search for it, if you are good in writing drivers for your hardware platform you may hav the luck to run WM6 on it, but i doubt it because the people who do this have teams for writing and testing drivers, it is large amount of work
Hi,

Hi!
Is it possible to install Windows Mobile 6 SDK with VS 2008 Trial or VS 2010 Beta 2?
When I am trying to install it I get information that it is impossible because VS 2005 SP1 or later is required?
Operating System: Vista.
Best regards,

I've got the WM6 SDK Refresh, the WM6.1.4 update and the WM6.5 DTK all running happily with VS2008. Is the WM5 SDK already installed?

No, I am just trying to install Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK Refresh.msi. Is it possible and correct?
i'm trying to get a dev. environment set up too
just checking but are you using VS2008 standard or pro?
i think you can only code for WM in vs-pro (which SUCKS)
can anyone confirm is there's another way to do it? because i'm not paying for a professional upgrade licence
I assume you guys are using VS2008 Express = you won't be able to install Windows Mobile SDK
I just wanted to ask why is it devs have tried getting all the desktop OS to run in qemu but I haven't heard of anyone testing windows xp mobile embedded? Why? I would imagine it would be easier to run as it's the mobile version of XP.
Windows XP Embedded has now morphed into Windows Embedded Standard, but this is only available to run on x86 or x64 platforms.
The version that will run on ARM devices is Windows Embedded Compact 7, which is the continuation of WinMo 6.5
To answer the original question, it ain't gonna work. Not on a phone device, that is.
