Hello.
With the growing sizes of SD and microSD Cards it is (or will become) more important to have a good and reliable filesystem to store the big amounts of data.
Well, on Windows Mobile there is only support for FAT and FAT32, and as commonly known, they don't belog into categories like reliable.
Microsoft just introduced a new Filesystem called exFAT, which has quite a lot of advantages. Sadly, it is not supported in the latest Version of Windows Mobile.
When I searched the internet, I found that Windows CE6.0 R2 came out, which contains support for exFAT. There are also a lot of resources free to download, which should help porting exFAT to Windows Mobile 6.5
Windows CE 6.0 Evaluation Toolkit:

Windows CE 6.0 R2

Windows CE 6.0 R3
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=bc247d88-ddb6-4d4a-a595-8eee3556fe46
Maybe it is possible to port, maybe not. I can't tell, but maybe a developer here finds that interesting enough to take a look at it.
The drivers written for Windows CE 6.0 are written for running on CE 6.0 kernel that has a completely new architecture, as it is much more optimized for speed etc etc etc.....
Our devices are running CE 5.2 Kernel.
We'll have support for exFAT when Windows Mobile 7 will be released.
Windows Mobile 7 will run on 6.x or 7.x CE Kernel, where the exFAT FS drivers are / will be available.
*sigh* ... ok

They've mixed everything up...
Yes, Windows CE 6.0 is out. Hovewer Windows CE is not Windows Mobile.
WM Screenshots that recently float all over the Web is the screenshots of Windows Mobile "Crossbow". Crossbow is more of Windows Mobile 5 Second Edition, since it uses all WM5 internal architecture.
Windows Mobile that will use CE 6.0 "Yamazaki" kernel (and therefore will be numbered Windows Mobile 6.0) is codenamed Windows Mobile "Photon", and its still in the beginner works, long way to go, at least, before Crossbow goes out.
BTW did somebody promise even Crossbow firmware upgrade for Universal?

Some people have seen Universal running Crossbow.
Currently nothing can be promised as they are under NDA.
Hi
How about installing a linux based mobile os on to a Windows mobile (XDA Stealth).
OpenMoko is designed to run on ARM processors and so is windows mobile, so I think technically it is possible to do so.
I am probably going to work around that. Just wanted to know if anyone had already done that.
About openmoko http://wiki.openmoko.org
Thanks
Kunal Deo
It is possible
Just found out on handhelds.org that it is possible to install linux on HP IPAQ.
Hi can you please tell me more about the openmoko on our windows mobile device whats the steps to get it to run? and what files or needed any links thanksI went to thehttp://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Why_Openmokobut its too confusing for me to understand it lol
Microsoft has just unveiled a bunch of updates and bug fixes for the Windows CE 5.0, 6.0, and NavReady operating systems. The Windows CE 5.0 July 2008 update will do the following :-
Fixes a problem that occurred with DHCP when a device has more than one network adapter (KB954904)
Fixes problems with mounting certain SD cards, and with corruption of the transaction-safe FAT (TFAT) file system when power is turned off while writing
Fixes a problem with the flash adaptive layer (FAL), wherein it sometimes incorrectly reported that a flash device was full even though some free sectors are still available
Provides SQL Compact 3.5 SP1 functionality as a "catalog item" in Platform Builder, for potential addition to devices
As for the Windows CE 6.0 July 2008 updates, it will perform the following :-
Fixes a rounding operation in the software clock that sometimes caused system time to randomly jump forward by several seconds
Adds a "check for NULL pointer to resolve some issues"
Allows limiting resource calls on kernel threads in a PSL (program static library) context
Fixes a DEBUGCHK in DEBUG KERNEL that could cause a device to halt during booting if a USB hard disk was attached
Addresses a memory leak in the Windows CE 6.0 shell
Provides SQL Compact 3.5 SP1 functionality as a "catalog item" in Platform Builder, for potential addition to devices.

I have bought a PSION WORKABOUT PRO 3 unit, with the Windows CE 5.0 Operating System and I would like to swap the OS with Windows Mobile 6.1 ( Classic or Professional ).
I tried to install the file 7527_WM61_PRO_WWE_MULTI_5.0.798_A150l.img, from the SD-MMC card, wich I
renamed it with 7527.img; and I received this message : " this unit has not been authorized to used this image "
May someone help me with technical support ?
Hi mandibula, you will find the answer to your question on Psion's community. I am unable to post the external link but search for "Change the OS from Windows CE to Windows Mobile in WAPRO 3" on google and you will find the exact post.
You have to buy the license for Windows Mobile and the device has to be updated by Psion.
lol someone beat me to it
