The CoreExpress-ECO evaluation kit is now available with two new board support packages (BSPs).

Windows CE

The CoreExpress-ECO Evaluation Kit comes with a full featured Windows CE 6.0 system running directly from IDE. DOS is no longer necessary for loading in between. This significantly reduces the required start-up times.
This complete BSP covers all functions of the CoreExpress-ECO , including 1280x800 graphics output on LVDS, audio, Ethernet, serial, USB and SD card support. The documentation for installing and running the system from several IDE boot media is provided, too.

QNX

In collaboration with QNX, LiPPERT developed a board support package for QNX Neutrino, supporting Fastboot IPL. With this BSP, an embedded system boots blindingly fast, in a mere 4 seconds, directly into the graphical application.
This behaviour greatly improves user experience and satisfaction.
The BSP comes with full support for video output on LVDS, audio, serial, Ethernet, and USB. The QNX IPL bootloader replaces the standard BIOS and initializes all features of the CoreExpress-ECO evaluation kit. In addition the customer's application may be added to any boot device like USB or IDE, starting a QNX 6.4.0 system instantly.

The CoreExpress-ECO's BIOS is now capable of booting from SDHC ports. Booting from SD cards is hence possible.
