Hi, About the issue with WM6.1 I am following another track to fix it. I have installed Platform Builder 5.0(tools used to generate ROM image from WCE sources) with the latest updates available and Armv4i device emulator BSP available here : http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2006/03/01/541634.aspx I have generated a new OS to get the famous kernel nk.exe and its associated map file. Then I have dissasemble the kernel(nk.exe) with dumpbin as shown below :
> cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin > vcvars32.bat > dumpbin.exe /DISASM /OUT:nk-WCE5-disasm.txt nk.exe Second step is to find a nk.exe from a WM6.1 device and this is not the easiest part. I had to browse some websites specialized in "ROM cooking" like XDA-developpers to find it and I thought I had find one but you will see that I am not that confident anymore and it may be a 6.0. So I decompiled it to get a nk-WM6.1-disasm.txt file but on the contrary of WCE5.0 where I had sources and where dumpbin automatically dissamsemble it with functions names I had to do it manually. In addition to this, since I am working with the HTC manufacturer they sent me the .map file of a WM6.1 device. Thanks to this map file I have noticed there was a function called FindRelocInfo ... 0001:00028a60 LoadE32 00039a60 f nk:loader.obj 0001:00028cf4 PageInPage 00039cf4 f nk:loader.obj 0001:00028db8 PageInFromROM 00039db8 f nk:loader.obj 0001:00028ff0 FindRelocInfo 00039ff0 f nk:loader.obj 0001:000290ac PageInFromRAM 0003a0ac f nk:loader.obj 0001:0002935c PageInModule 0003a35c f nk:loader.obj 0001:0002960c PageInProcess 0003a60c f nk:loader.obj ... that's why now I am not sure the nk.exe I have downloaded is from a WM6.1. Or they may be another explanation, the WM6.1 map file I have been given from HTC is from a ROM in Debug mode(KITL) while the one I have dissamble is in Release version. Finally I started to compare it and can actually see some differences in DoImports, LoadModules, ... but since I am comparing a Windows CE 5.0 with a WM 6.0/6 it's not enough relevant. I am writing all these just to say that now if I could have a nk.exe from a WM6.0 rom and another one from a WM6.1 it would be easy to decompile them and to locate differences. Then since we have sources for WCE5.0 we could find what has changed. I already tried to decompile some ROM and unfortunately , I have never managed to decompile the XIP that holds the kernel.exe. So if people reading this ML have some time to loose and wants to help, they could try decompile WM6.0 and WM6.1 ROM and send it here. I think that if playing with PE section gives no result this the way to go.
