TwoChipHCG Development Kit
Product Overview
Take your product from concept to reality with the
Philips' TwoChipHCG
TM
* Development Kit. This hard-
ware platform allows you to focus your attention
on the software and system integration issues. The
TwoChipHCG Development Kit includes everything
you need to test software, analyze various peripheral
controllers and control the basic functions of your
Microsoft Windows CE
-based system.
To expedite your product design, the latest version of the
Windows CE operating system is preloaded in the systems'
Flash memory, as well as complete software drivers and the
OEM Adaptation Layer (OAL). Also included, is Philips'
unique V.34bis (33.6Kbps) software modem which allows
you to efficiently test communication applications.
Serial ports, an infrared transceiver, Concentration
Highway Interface (CHI) port, Pager port, PCMCIA slots
and a parallel connection offer you an array of options for
connecting various peripherals or attaching to your work-
station to easily upload and download code. Philips also
supplies the electronic schematics for this reference design.
When combined with the development kits modular-
based layout, you are able to quickly isolate those
sections that can be simply copied and those that need
to be modified.
Microsoft Windows CE
The Software Development Kit (SDK) and the Device
Driver Kit (DDK) are part of the Microsoft Visual C++
development system. These software tools allow you to
develop applications and device drivers. Philips gives you
a complete set of standard drivers: LCD display, IrDA,
serial, PCMCIA, power management, audio in/out, key-
board, touchscreen and modem drivers, interrupt service
routine, booting code, plus RTC and timer with source
code upon completion of a sublicense contract and
ownership of Microsoft's OEM Adaptation Kit (OAK).
Features and Benefits
The TwoChipHCG Development Kit has numerous fea-
tures and benefits when compared to other platforms:
s
Low board component count and advanced power
management features show how a high level of integra-
tion makes it easier to fit into tight footprints and
reduce the power consumption to absolute minimums.
s
Easily accessible test points and a range of connectors
allow power-load testing under multiple conditions
with various I/O options.
Philips' TwoChipHCG Development Kit provides a complete system that
features a high level of integration and superior performance. Not shown
is the v.34bis (33Kbps) modem which is implemented and controlled
through software. The actual Development Kit shipped may differ slightly
in appearance than the board shown in the photograph.
s
Board modularity and electronics schematics give
designers an easy path for present and future develop-
ment. Design blocks and sub modules can be isolated
and tested individually.
s
Philips' Handheld Computing's Systems Support Team
designed the development system and can assist you
with questions regarding this reference design.
With Philips supplying the hardware abstraction layer,
device drivers and a complete reference design, and
Microsoft supplying the Visual C++ toolchain, Windows
CE SDK, DDK, EDK and OAK, you have a complete set
of dynamic tools for creating your next successful product.
