New Windows Embedded CE Trainers

MPC Data has increased its team of Microsoft-approved trainers for Windows Embedded CE. Two more technical leads from our Windows Embedded engineering team have successfully completed the official Microsoft ‘train the trainer’ process, and passed the relevant examinations.

Having more approved trainers improves our ability to deliver both public Windows CE training courses and to respond to customer requests for either standard or tailored on-site training courses.

MPC Data has been offering a wide range of Windows Embedded training courses for several years now. More details of our full portfolio of training packages can be found here....

Vector Floating Point (VFP) support under Windows Embedded CE - new white paper published 10/12/2009

Vector Floating Point (VFP) support under Windows Embedded CE - new white paper published

Many industrial control and graphics processing requirements involve significant number-crunching. Popular ARM11 and Cortex A8 microprocessors, such as the Freescale iMX51 and TI OMAP3 family include a Vector Floating Point (VFP) co-processor. By utilizing the VFP, device manufacturers are able to perform complex real-time floating-point calculations which would be impractical with a purely software implementation.

To help OEMs integrate VFP support into their Windows Embedded CE devices, MPC Data have published a new white paper on their web site describing how the ARM VFP can be readily supported under Windows Embedded CE 6.0.
