Windows CE

Windows CE is an open, scalable, 32-bit operating system (OS) that integrates reliable, real time capabilities with advanced Windows technologies.

Windows CE allows you to build a wide range of innovative, small footprint devices. A typical Windows CE-based device is designed for a specific use, often runs disconnected from other computers, and requires a small OS that has a deterministic response to interrupts.

Windows CE also offers reliable core operating system services to support the most demanding real-time embedded designs across a breadth of devices. For example, embedded developers can now enable low-latency, bounded, deterministic system performance with hard real-time operating system (RTOS) kernel support. The Windows CE platforms real-time performance has been validated in a variety of factory-floor implementations. With support for the .NET Compact Framework, Extensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Passport and Instant Messaging, Windows CE enables embedded developers to easily create rich personalized experiences that span devices, PCs, Servers and Web Services. This support, combined with the rich multimedia and Web browsing capabilities in Windows CE, results in smart .NET-enabled devices.

BSP - Board Support Package

Creating a BSP is the initial development activity required for building any Windows CE-based device.

The low-level startup sequence and hardware platform functions are commonly known as a Board Support Package (BSP), in Windows CE.

A BSP is the software that implements the device drivers for a standard development board (SDB). A BSP contains source files, binary files, or both.

BSP can be used to rapidly bring up an operating system on an SDB and evaluate the features of the operating system.

The expanded Board Support Package (BSP) support in Windows CE covers the full range of supported microprocessors. Expanded BSP support allows you to quickly:

Evaluate Windows CE operating system features on your platform

Bring up the operating system on your custom hardware

Cut down on your time-to-market

Back light LED driver for Automotive Instrument cluster

When LED's are used for backlighting in instrument cluster, there may be a chance that every LED's will have different luminance resulting in an uneven brightness over the cluster. This particular design will avoid this luminance differences and have a constant brightness for all the LED's in the cluster.


TFT based Automotive Instrument cluster

The vehicle instrument cluster is required to provide drivers with a large and wide range of information, with desired looks that match a vehicle's design. TFT clusters will gradually replace the classical ones.

In TFT clusters the user can select the type and aesthetics of cluster with simple GUI controls. Our current projects includes the range 3.5”, 5.7”,6.2” & 10.4”
