[U-Boot-Users] U-Boot WinCE booting support?
Hi,
I'm wondering what may be needed to boot WinCE (6.0) images from U-Boot. Searching the web leads to some pages that mention booting WinCE is possible. But my understanding is that some additional patches are necessary and the official U-Boot doesn't support this currently.
Does anybody have experience with this? Any hints appreciated.
Thanks.
Best regards, Stefan

It is my understanding that:
MS Windows CE (6.0) typically starts with the assumption that Eboot has setup the MMU for it. To fix this problem, the MMU code could be moved from Eboot to the early OEM code in the CE kernel.
The NK.nb0 raw file would be easier to boot (than the proprietary NK.bin file) via U-Boot. In my experience, the NK.nb0 file is not much larger than the NK.bin, though that can vary greatly, especially if the kernel contains a lot of empty space.
Sincerely,
