Hello there guys,

I have a question about the Diamond. How hard will it be to create your own OS for the Diamond? I'm not talking about a full OS, but just for testing purposes only. Like displaying Hello World on the screen. I've adjusted some ROM's, changed the boot screen, played with some applications etc. but i'm looking for a source to display Hello World on the Diamond screen. Just for fun. I know ASM and C and i'm just looking for a good source to brick my Diamond :P

Where to start?

Greetings,

S

Anyone? I'm not talking about writing your own app, but to start a code after the SPL!

Reading linux/android thread would give you a good start?

That's not an OS, that's learning to write a simple application. The starting point is reading a primer on writing code for Windows CE (The core component of Windows Mobile X). There are several books available on the topic. You'll need an appropriate C compiler, etc. Some books might even include one.

I think that many simple application developers use rapid development tools. Visual Basic kind of things, but for CE. There are several about.
