You may configure a valid IP address in your network for proper function. * The Flash disk (directory "NAND Flash") is a build in storage place for persisting your files. * Changes to registry can be persisted by executing the tool SaveRegistry.exe You will find it in the Windows directory. * Use the autostart and autocopy features for starting your application automatically or setting up your device on every boot. * RS-232 port is available under COM1, when debug messages are disabled. Look inside the manual for further details. * Battery backed up RTC * Direct Draw Display drivers * Backlight PWM driver * Audio AC97 driver * Synchronization between the OS and Redboot (UserRegMon) * eMMA (enhanced MultiMedia Accelerator) driver * Touch AC97 driver * GFVersion driver * GPT driver * GF-Tools * .NET Compact Framework 3.5 = Changes = - improved Touch Driver - removed system Clock changes in start-up (CPU clock is now running with 400 Mhz) - added reset support - fixed Nand-Flash Pointer-Mapping bug - set backlight to 100 % brightness as default value - fixed ethernet exception on startup - fixed ethernet ip-config with new redboot V1.8.9072 - removed telnet login - fixed discovery service = Known Restrictions = - USB-Phys sometimes has errors on init. This seems to be happend in 1 of 10 cases. Messages on debug port are shown. - AC 97 Audio is supporting only Playback and is working with fixed Sample Rates of 48Khz. Everything is resampled to 48Khz - Nand Flash Clocking is not configured in OS and is adopting from Redboot - Video Playback seems to be slowed down with 5,7' VGA Display - No Video Codecs are available at all. Therefore no Video-Acceleration - ActiveSync doesn't work. A device is detected on PC-Side but with Error. - Power Management doesn't adope values from registry on start-up. This leads to suspend even if it is disabled. Therefore Display and Backlight is removed from PM. - selected icons are flickering - The SDK does not work on machines, where only Visual Studio 2008 is installed. On Machines with VS 2005 and VS 2008 it will install. OS V1.0.0 27.02.2009 * Minimum needed Redboot version is >=V1.7.8347 * QFE-support up to 02/2008 = Supported Features = * Direct Draw Display drivers * Backlight PWM driver * USB driver (high speed OTG host/device (ActiveSync), high speed) * USB Keyboard/Mouse/Mass Storage driver * SD-Card Support * Audio AC97 driver * Synchronization between the OS and Redboot (UserRegMon) * NAND-Flash Support * eMMA (enhanced MultiMedia Accelerator) driver * Ethernet driver * Touch AC97 driver * GFVersion driver * GPT driver * GF-Tools * QFE-support up to 02/2008 * Included .NET Compact Framework 3.5 = Changes = first public release = Known Restrictions = - USB-Phys sometimes has errors on init. This seems to be happend in 1 of 10 cases. Messages on debug port are shown. - AC 97 Audio is supporting only Playback and is working with fixed Sample Rates of 48Khz. Everything is resampled to 48Khz - Nand Flash Clocking is not configured in OS and is adopting from Redboot - IP-Addresses are not synced with redboot yet - Windows are changing CPU Clocks / devider for its needs (could make System instable) - Touch driver is loosing pen if there is a continued moving over the screen (but its not detected as pen-up!) - battery buffered RTC ist not supported yet - Video Playback seems to be slowed down with 5,7' VGA Display OS V0.0.0 12.12.2008 * Minimum needed Redboot version is >=V1.7.8347 * QFE-support up to 02/2008 = Supported Features = * Direct Draw Display drivers * Backlight PWM driver * USB driver (high speed OTG host/device (ActiveSync), high speed) * SD-Card Support * Audio AC97 * Synchronization between the OS and Redboot (UserRegMon) * NAND-Flash Support * eMMA (enhanced MultiMedia Accelerator) driver * QFE-support up to 02/2008 * Included .NET Compact Framework 3.5 = Changes = second developement release - fixed ugly Display initialization - added support of Display Settings via registry - added AC97 Audio Playback - added Nand-Flash Support - added UserRegMon - added Backlight PWM driver - added SD-Card Support - added OTG Driver Host/Device and also Active Sync - added Direct Draw Display Driver - fixed Display-Setting for VGA Display (wrong Clk transition) - added Hive-Based Registry Support - added support of ATAGs from Redboot = Known Restrictions = - Power-On State is instable with some Nand-Flash types. This can be workedarounded through pressing the reset button on Neso (only with specific NAND flash types) - USB-Phys sometimes has errors on init. This seems to be happend in 1 of 10 cases. - AC 97 Audio is working only in Playback mode and with fixed Sample Rates of 48Khz - Nand Flash Clocking is not configured in OS and is adopting from Redboot OS V0.0.0 BETA 24.10.2008 * Minimum needed Redboot version is V1.7. * QFE-support up to 02/2008 = Supported Features = * Display drivers * USB host driver (high speed) * QFE-support up to 02/2008 * Included .NET Compact Framework 3.5 = Changes = first Beta release = Known Restrictions = - Power-On State is instable in the first HW revision which can be workedaround through pressing the reset button on Neso
