I don't know that much about WinCE, but I think software isn't portable between platforms even on the same chip architecture (eg, ARM). You'd need an SDK or appropriately configured cross-compiler, and those can probably only be (easily) supplied by the device manufacturer. You could just try this: http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Compiling_Navit_for_WinCE/WinMobile I don't know how you'd execute the program once you had it compiled. If you can identify the hardware well enough you may be able to run Linux on it, and after that you can compile anything that runs on Linux. Pull the cover off and look for some markings on the main board and plug them in to Google. Next, try the markings on the biggest chips on the board. If you're lucky someone will have already done it and there will be instructions. You're probably not going to be able to get any of these things working though. Most of the time messing with these dinky embedded systems takes a good deal of knowledge and often an oscilliscope and/or soldering iron. -- Sam Couter | mailto:s...@couter.id.au OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I think you are confusing atmel and arm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture Although a quick google says the atmel chips in freerunner uses an ARM instruction set. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
