Hi-

I'm new to the embedded world, but have a lot of computing experience,
and I'm having some troubles. I'm trying to install a custom version
of CE6 to a PDA I purchased (the Dell Axim x5) via the platform
builder on VS2005. I'm not having any luck at all. Does anyone know
a website with a good tutorial, the Microsoft site was of no use.

Thanks

-Dan

You can't do that. Only the OEM can create an image for a specific piece of
hardware. Dell no longer makes WM devices, and they certainly have no
created any WM 6 images for their old devices.

OK, well how would I go about doing it on a development board. Is
there a website somewhere that explains all this?

You need Platform Builder and a BSP for the board. Platform Builder has
pretty good documentation of how to generate a build and get it to the
device. The eval board OEM should be able to provide info as well
(everyon'e system is a little different in the bootloader, so the process
can change somewhat from target to target).
