Windows Embedded Compact 7 RTM is available for download from Microsoft. Windows Embedded Compact 7, the next generation Windows Embedded CE is aimed at the embedded devices market and can be used to build a broad range of small footprint devices with real-time capabilities. Link Type Windows Description; Download.exe: 32-bit x86: 7-Zip for 32-bit Windows: Download.exe: 64-bit x64: 7-Zip for 64-bit Windows x64 (Intel 64 or AMD64).

Windows Embedded Compact 7 (formerly known as Windows Embedded CE 7.0) is the seventh major release of Windows Embedded CEoperating system. Windows Embedded Compact 7 is a real-time OS, separate from the Windows NT line, and is designed to target enterprise specific tools such as industrial controllers and consumer electronics devices such as digital cameras, GPS systems and also automotive infotainment systems. Windows Embedded Compact is designed to run on multiple CPU architectures and supports x86, SH (automotive only),^[2]^[3] and ARM. During development, a Microsoft employee working in this division claimed that Microsoft was working hard on this release and that it shares the underlying kernel with Windows Phone.^[4] Microsoft officially confirmed this and said that Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 with some features borrowed from Windows Embedded Compact 7, thus making it a hybrid solution.^[5] Windows Embedded Compact 7 was released on March 1, 2011.^[6]

New features[edit]

Windows Embedded Compact 7 contains these features:^[7]

Silverlight for Windows Embedded: Allows developers to develop application and user interfaces in Silverlight using Microsoft Expression Blend
Internet Explorer for Windows Embedded: A web browser similar to that of Windows Phone 7 with integrated Adobe Flash v10.1 support
Touch support: Windows Embedded Compact 7 recognizes touch and gesture input types
CPU support: Works on dual core CPUs in symmetric multiprocessing mode
Platform support: Runs on x86, SH4 (automotive only)^[2]^[3]MIPS and ARMv7 platforms

This WindowsÃ??Ã?Â® Embedded CE 6.0 180 day evaluation toolkit gives you powerful tools for building a broad range of small foot print devices that need a componentized, real-time operating system.

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 helps device makers be successful and provides developers with a complete portfolio of tested, selectable OS components. In addition CE 6.0 provides source code access and compatibility with several processor architectures.

Customers who already have projects using previous versions of the OS will be excited to know that this 6th generation of CE features a re-designed kernel.

This re-design enables running a larger number of more complex applications and helps provide a richer end user experience. The CE 6.0 kernel supports over 32,000 simultaneous processes each with 2GB of virtual memory space. Other CE 6.0 improvements include a new file system that supports bigger storage media, larger file sizes and removable media encryption, plus much more!

CE 6.0 enables new device scenarios for the home, work and the field that can easily consume media, share presentations, and connect to cellular networks.

Developers can customize and build a broad range of small foot print devices with real-time capabilities using Platform Builder, a powerful embedded-specific tool, that works as a plug-in within the familiar development environment of MicrosoftÃ??Ã?Â® Visual StudioÃ??Ã?Â® 2005.

This free, downloadable version of the Evaluation Edition allows you to easily access the tools and board support package applicable to your device design so you can begin evaluating Windows Embedded CE 6.0 today.
