interacitve shell (command line interface)

Question

Hi,

I am coming from the other RTOS background, vxWorks from WindRiver.

In vxWorks, Wind Shell provides developer a command line interface for debugging purpose.

It can interpret most C language expressions; it can execute most C operators and resolve symbolic data references and subroutine invocations.

Does WINCE 7 has similar tool provided for developer ?

Hi Wong Kiung,

You will want to ensure the following Sysgens are in your image if you want to have the command shell included.

In your final product, you would remove these sysgens.

Sincerely,

Answer 3

Hi IoTGirl,

Thanks for your reply.

But I can't call a C function in the Target Control Shell.

Windows CE>printf("hello world\n")

Unknown command.

Windows CE>

But I can call a C function in the Wind Shell.

->
-> printf("hello world\n")
hello world
value = 12 = 0xc

That is correct.  IoTGirl pointed you at the tool that is available and some documentation about it.
