I will explain on how to connect development pc to a board running windows ce 6.0 os image using Activesync. The development board that I used is similar to the Mainstone III development platform (based on a Marvell PXA 270 processor) and activesync is configured to connect over the USB client port.
Previously when I was trying to connect to my development board using activesync from remote tools, i was getting error message that " Unable to load device side components". The samething happens while I was using CETK. But Sctivesync was connceting properly. Then I started digging into discussion forums for finding a solution to this problem. Here is what I found:
- Open C:/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows CE Tools/Platman/target/wce600.
- Create a folder armV4 and copy the contents of armV4i into this one.
- Now Open Kernel Tracker or any remote tools.
- Then follow the same steps specified by Sue in her blog post.
Presto!!!... There you have your remote tools working over Activesync.
