Development Kit for Windows XP Embedded

 

Arcom's SBC-GX533 Development Kit for Microsoft Windows XP Embedded features a fully licensed XP Embedded operating system pre-loaded and configured on a 1Gbyte CompactFlash card, meaning you do not need to use Windows Embedded Studio. The operating system image is a comprehensive build of Windows XP Embedded supporting most of the onboard features as well as the rich feature set of the XP operating system. The Development Kit offers a ready-to-run, rapid application development environment which really does save engineering time.

What is Windows XP Embedded?

Windows XP Embedded enables rapid development of the most reliable and full-featured connected devices. Windows XP Embedded is the componentized version of the leading desktop operating system, enabling rapid development of the most reliable and full-featured connected devices. Based on the same binaries as Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded enables embedded developers to individually select only the rich features they need for customized, reduced-footprint embedded devices. Building upon the proven code base of Windows 2000, Windows XP Embedded delivers industry-leading reliability, security, and performance along with the latest multimedia Web browsing capabilities, and device support. Windows XP Embedded also incorporates the latest embedded-enabling capabilities such as headless support and flexible boot and storage options. In addition, Windows XP Embedded contains a completely redesigned tool set, called Windows Embedded Studio, which enables developers to rapidly configure, build, and deploy smart designs.
