Updating from older SDKs
Older SDKs did not have unified names. With the following SDK version the new naming convention has been applied:
- CE 5 SDK 6.0
- CE 6 SDK 2.0
- CE 7 SDK 2.0
- CE 8 SDK 2.0
In case you want to migrate your project to one of the new SDKs, some renaming in the *.sln and *.vcproj files has to be done. Toradex provides a command line tool that does this job for you. Run the tool and provide the path to one of your projects as a parameter. You get the tool from here.

Description
Building an embedded operating system image is only part of the process for releasing a final product - Testing and diagnosis tools should also be an integral part of the release process - an operating system image may appear to be running just fine, but how do you really know that there aren't any issues lurking unseen within the operating system image - it's possible that your processes could corrupt heaps, orphan CriticalSections and do other nasty things, but how do you find out this has happened ?
This video shows the use of CEDebugX, a new (and extremely cool tool) that ships with the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 SP1 update.
Note that in the video I'm creating a KDump file, if you are running a debug image (or have the kernel debugger in your release image) you can run CEDebugX directly from the Windows CE Command Prompt against the operating system image without needing to create a kdump file.
