Which alternatives to Windows Embedded Compact 7? Need help for a OS migration? Contact us. Hardware compatibility One might think the best option is to go straight to WEC, to gain as much time as possible before the next blow… but we must keep in mind that with WEC , Microsoft removed the support for any ARM architecture before ARMv7.
Thus, it is very likely that the hardware architecture of the device would not be compatible with WEC which would imply a significant hardware redesign Alternatively, one might consider the migration to completely different Operating Systems. Windows CE to Android Migration and what else? First, the upward compatibility of the application framework is very limited. NET Framework. There is an extensive number of hardware platforms and architectures supported and full flexibility for OS porting and customization, which allows smooth and efficient OS migration, with probably no risk of HW incompatibility.
The current level of market adoption along with the current organization of the open source community allows for a high level of confidence regarding the longevity of the technology. The most challenging part relates to the application migration, but for which there are possible solutions as detailed later on in this article. However, in these cases, there is a very high probability of complete redevelopment of the application due to limited compatibilities between the application framework.
NET applications on non-Microsoft environments. Mono is the open source version targeting primarily Linux based environments while Xamarin is a commercial solution focused on Android or even iOS. This framework allows cross-platform compatibility and is a good way to minimize the migration effort as most of the pre-existing.
However, it might not be a good fit when there are performances challenges, since it obviously introduces an additional intermediate layer that will impact the overall system performance Qt This application framework has significant market traction for embedded applications and is probably one of the best solutions on the market for cross-platform interoperability.
However, its compatibility with multiple OS architectures such as Linux, Android, QNX, Windows and Windows CE allows having an iterative approach with some potential parallelization of the efforts: As a first step the existing. Net application can be migrated to Qt to execute on the existing Windows CE based device, which allows validating the solution and removing all risk before moving forward with the complete OS migration.
Thanks to its cross-platform interoperability, the same Qt application running on the Windows CE-based device would run with the new OS. This solution is also a good possibility when considering migrating first the device to Windows Embedded Compact 7, and later on to another OS, as the Qt-based application will be compatible with all the different OS technologies.
Why should I install the Microsoft Download Manager? In this case, you will have to download the files individually. You would have the opportunity to download individual files on the "Thank you for downloading" page after completing your download.
