Backward compatibility of Windows CE

Question

I have Eboot application for Windows CE 5.0

I have to port it to Windows CE 4.2

Is it possible? Is Windows CE backward compatible with versions?

 

Answer 1

The Windows CE APIs are backward compatible.
For Driver/OAL code this is not necessarily true. There are significant changes between Windows CE 4.2 and 5.0

Backporting EBOOT is still possible.

Answer 2

How can I port Driver and OAL code to Windows CE 4.2 ( from 5.0 ) ?

Kindly give your suggestions.......
