Chapter 1 Introduction
Microsoft® Windows® CE 6.0 is an open, scalable, 32-bit operating system (OS) that allows you
to build a wide range of innovative, small footprint devices. A typical Windows® CE-based
device is designed for a specific use, and often runs disconnected from other computers, or
distributed as a front-end to a centralized host. Examples include enterprise tools, such as
industrial controllers, communications hubs, point-of-sale terminals, and display devices, such as
HMI, advertisement appliances, and interactive panels.
Moxa’s IA260 ready-to-run embedded computer provides Windows® developers with an
excellent Windows® CE solution. Moxa’s extensive experience in kernel development on
embedded small footprint communication devices provides the intense technological skills
required while porting the Windows® CE 6.0 kernel.
