Software Specifications
IA260 WinCE ready-to-run embedded computers are network centric / head-less computers that
are designed to be programmable for embedded communication applications. The software
features of the IA260-CE are listed below:
Application Development Environment
To make the IA260-CE easy to program, its Windows® CE environment provides the following
common, popular application development features that make programming as convenient and
easy as in a PC environment.
y C Libraries and Run-times—Compared to the C libraries and run-times used on a desktop
PC running Windows®, the C libraries and run-times on an IA260-CE are a subset of the
WIN32 APIs. They support full ANSI C run time, standard input/output library, standard
input/output ASCII library, and standard ASCII string functions. In addition, they support
C++ compiler exception handling and Run-Time Type Information (RTTI) equivalent to
desktop C++ compilers.
y Component Services (COM and DCOM)—The Common Object Model (COM) is an
operating system-independent, object-oriented system for creating binary software
components that can interact with other COM-based components in the same process space, in
other processes, or on remote machines.
y Microsoft® Foundation Classes (MFC)—MFC is a comprehensive class library and
complete object-oriented application framework designed to help build applications, COM
components, and controls.
y SOAP Toolkit—SOAP is an XML-based protocol for object exchange and remote procedure
calls. Microsoft® Windows® CE 6.0 provides functionality similar to the SOAP Toolkit
version 2 on a desktop computer. The SOAP Toolkit provides a layer that allows COM
objects to use SOAP as the transport protocol for remote procedure calls and to interact with
Web services.
y Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework 2.0 with service pack 2—Offers a choice of
languages, Microsoft® Visual Basic® and Microsoft® Visual C#, and eliminates the common
problems faced with language interoperability.
