Hi Andrea,

we are currently using u-boot (1.2.0) on our ARM9 based platform to boot WinCE 4.2, 5.0 and 6.0 images (.bin). More than this we also changes some part of WinCE BSP to allow passing "kernel bootline parameters" (as much like in linux ;-) ) to configure console output (on serial line) or ip configuration.
Thanks. That's good news.
If you want I can send you the patch: it's a bit "ugly" ;-) but it can be made platform indipendent with ease. Basically it adds a new command (bootwince) which is much like bootm, but "check AND decompress" .bin images and run WinCE. Of course the WinCE image can be started directly RAM (e.g. downloaded via TFTP for debugging pourpose) or from Flash (for stand alone operations).
Yes, please send me the patch. Perhaps we will clean it up and integrate it into the common source.
Thanks.
Best regards, Stefan
