x86 Board Support Packages
Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET supports Geode and x86-based platforms. The Advantech PCM-5822 and PCM-5823 Biscuit PC or Lanner EM-350 and EM-351 Embedded Single Board Computers do not include PCI or ISA bus expansion slots, so if you require bus expansion, you should select a PC–based platform or the National Geode SP4SC30 Development Platform. Both the Geode and PC-based platforms run most of the same x86 binaries. The only difference is the amount and type of peripherals supported.
The following table provides details on the sample BSPs included in Platform Builder for the x86 processors.
