The Raspberry Pi is a revolutionary computer. Not because it’s fast, although it does okay. It’s because the Raspberry Pi costs only $35. For that you get an ARM based Broadcomm CPU, 256 Meg of RAM, 2 USB ports, an Ethernet port, an SD Card socket, sound and HDMI out video. A lower cost version ($25) removes the Ethernet port and 1 of the USB ports. Pretty cool. You can find out about the Pi at www.raspberrypi.org.
They’ve been pretty hard to get one of these devices but with the help of a kind soul across the pond, I’ve managed to get hold of one. While the Pi organization is has various versions of Linux running on the device, I’m going to develop a Windows Embedded Compact (Windows CE) Board Support Package so that I can run WEC on the device. It should be an interesting project that I’m going to document my work here in the blog. We’ll see how it goes…
How did it go with that BSP?
Hey Doug, I wondered how you’d got on with the BSP development? Was it relatively straightforward?
hi im interessted in bsp for wince
any success on porting windows ce on raspberry pi?
I’m working on the BSP. Slow going as I have other work to do. However, I’ll be posting more on the topic soon.
Doug, this sounds like a great project and I’m very interested in your BSP once it’s complete.
sup Doug, are you still on developing for the Pi?
