Is their someting like Windbg available for Windows CE?

All I want to do is read out the DbgPrint information.

Thanks,

Tom Rixom

Hmm, you might have realized there's something called Windows CE
Platform Builder (PB). It comes with online documentation - give it a
try!

IIRC, PB can use serial (COMx) and Ethernet (maybe also others) for
communication to the target device.

I am not looking to debug... I was just looking for a
tool to read out the Debug Zones/DBPPrint messages like
DbgView or WinDbg.

Can the platform builder do this?

My target device is a HP 5555.

Yes. As far as I know, it is the only way to connect to the debug message
stream from a CE device.

However, most production CE devices spew very little information to the
debug port. Is this your own driver?

You might want to take a look at microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder.

From what I know, PB really contains the WinDbg analog, but it cannot be used
on stock Pocket PCs due to lack of necessary wiring to do this and possibly the
lack of KD support in CE binaries burned to Pocket PC.

You can use Emulator though (also included in PB).
