I am an IT engineering student and I am currently working on embedded system project and I want to know if Phidget SBC supports Windows Embedded because in the product specifications I found that its default OS is Debian Linux. If it is possible, does Phidget SBC3 run Windows Embedded 8/Windows Embedded 8.1 ? Thank you.

We have a rich interactive application build on Adobe AIR platform which runs on Windows 10. We want to make this available on our Microsoft Surface Hub with minimal changes?
I couldn't find any related information in internet.
Dos Microsoft Hub run on Windows 10? Please share a bit more info so I can help.
If it does, then the app should run without issues. If it doesn't but it comes with a Windows Store, then you can change your AIR app to be added in Windows Store and download from there.
I am trying to get started on application development for my Motorola MC32N0 device running Windows Embedded Compact 7.0.
This tutorial explains that I need a Board Support Package (BSP), however I am unable to find this on the Zebra website. Is a BSP available for the Motorola MC32N0, and where can I find it?
Another question, during the installation of Platform Builder 7.0 I used a trial license key. Now if I deploy the build output to my device, will it replace the OS that is already installed, or will it just deploy the application?
I am new to Windows CE, but have a background in web development and WinForms.
For C/C++ application development, Visual Studio 2008 and the Motorola SDK will suffice.
BSP's on the other hand are for developers working on low-level code such as the kernel OAL and device drivers. Platform Builder 7.0 is a plug-in to Visual Studio 2008 that enables building and debugging BSP code, and is not required for application development either.
If you only intend to develop C# applications, you may not even need the Motorola SDK, but could target just a generic Windows CE device in Visual Studio.
Anybody knows how to use Isolated Storage tool for Windows Phone 8.1 WITHOUT using Command with ISETool.exe.
Some previous Isolated Storage Tools like IsoSpy, ISE, Windows Phone Power Tools that works with GUI are very user friendly while coding.
Are there any tools available like them?
IsoStoreSpy has been recently updated to support Windows Phone 8.1
No,windows provides only these 3 non command-line tools.
IsoStoreSpy is best tool that i have ever used.you can use it without visual studio.just you need windows 8 OS and xap installed on device/emulator.
There's no emulator for Windows 8, so in order to develop metro apps I must install the release candidate on a device and run Visual Studio there, right? That's what this page seems to suggest, but I just wanted to double check.
Yes, Windows8 is required.
However, VM can be used. For example, I'm running Win8RP/64 and VS2012RC in Oracle VirtualBox on Win7/64.
NOTE: For developing Metro Style App, you should NOT install VirtualBox Extension Pack.
Yes, you need Windows 8 to develop Windows 8 Metro style apps.
Metro Style apps rely on a new set of APIs which are implemented only in Windows 8 through the the Windows Runtime (WinRT).
There is no emulator for Windows 7 and not even for Windows 8... Windows 8 has a simulator which in practice is just a Remote Desktop session to the same machine. It is not an emulator.
While Windows 8 is not in its final version, what I recommend is to install Windows 8 in a VHD (virtual hard disk) and boot your PC directly to the VHD. It is faster than running virtual machines (because only the disk is virtual, all the rest is real hardware) and you can keep your Windows 7 intact.
This is what I've been using since Developer Preview. I have a dual-boot configuration being one for the Windows 7 that is booting from the regular disk partition, and one Windows 8 that is booting directly from the VHD on disk.
Metro UI style is just a design approach and some guidelines. You are free to implement such interface using Visual Studio 2010 as well as 2008. Using C# and WPF everything is possible. But, indeed, new Visual Studio has a set of Metro style components (WPF) with which your development process will be much more quicker.
The only thing you can't use at OS other than Windows 8 - is WinRT subsystem.
Almost all of the development tools needed to build Metro style applications can be run on OS's other than Windows 8 (Visual Studio and the package creation tools require Windows 8). So it should be possible to set up a build environment using msbuild.exe (or even make/nmake) that will compile and link metro-style applications on an OS other than Windows 8.
However some parts of development MUST be done on Windows 8 - the tools for some of the steps of development will only run on Windows 8.
I need to install the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 package that works with Visual Studio 2005 because I need to upgrade an old driver that runs under CE 6.0. I understand that Microsoft does not support this CE package any longer and, in fact, they no longer provide the installation files for CE 6.0
Where can I get the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 installation files??? They can be in an ISO file or whatever format is available.
I'm not sure if I understood your question right. By package you mean BSP (Board Support Package)?
If you are new to CE, you will need a brief explanation before get started.
The Windows CE 6.0 itself doesn't have exactly installation files. The runtime system is built through a toolkit called Platform Builder. As "input" for platform builder, you select which components your runtime image will have (including drivers) and as "output" is created a binary image of your system. You may transfer your runtime image to the device with a few different methods.
Regarding drivers, they usually are distributed through BSPs. BSPs are built by the device maker so you could check the device manufacturer site for BSPs, but you can give a try first on the supported packages search (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/downloads/board-support-packages-for-windows-embedded.aspx).
You can get the Platform Builder Toolkit with a Microsoft Authorized Embedded Distributor or through a MSDN subscription (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/how-to-buy-windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx). The Platform Builder for CE6 comes with a copy of VS2005.
Windows CE6 is currently at R3 (released in 2009) and it is supported (mainstream support) at least until 2014 (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/windows-embedded-roadmap.aspx).
I strongly recommend you to take a look at least on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/develop/windows-embedded-ce-6-for-developers-overview.aspx. I'm not much experienced with CE6 (few months) but my personal experience says that it's a long path to code drivers for CE.
