Board Support Package


Currently our BSP is built using Visual Studio 2005. I would like to update this to use VS 2010 at the very least, preferably 2012. I have not been able to find anything that will allow me to do this. I tried to upgrade the project to VS 2008, but it failed to load the project. I was wondering if anybody had some ideas or could at least point me in the right direction.


Solution

  • Visual Studio 2008 does support the Platformbuilder Plugin and creating Applications for Win CE, however the import wizard is not perfect, you may need to change some settings by hand.

    Visual Studio 2010 does not support creating BSPs or applications for Win CE.

    Visual Studio 2012 will support creating of BSPs and applications for Windows Embedded Compact 2013. It also includes a new faster version of the .Net Compact Framework.
