Booting to Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

As the POST completes, the splash screen clears, and a series of custom
pre-boot firmware utilities start executing.
• If the Blue splash screen does not appear, or the operating system does
not start, refer to Chapter 5 for troubleshooting information.
The first pre-boot utility ensures that a CF Card and USB Hard Drive are
installed, since these are required components for Windows Embedded CE
6.0 R3.
Next, pre-boot Firmbase applications FlashCE and Platform Update
execute. Flash CE checks the CF Card for an NK.BIN file, then Platform
Update checks the CF Card for the BIOS binary file.

• The message 'NK.BIN not found on CF,' appears on the first line. This
message is produced by FlashCE and is a simply a statement that the
upgrade file is not present.
•
•
• The prompt 'Loading Windows CE' appears, followed a series of dots
that move from left to right across the screen as Windows Embedded
CE 6.0 starts up.
•
• After several seconds, the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 desktop
appears. The Operator LED stops blinking and turns solid white.
• If a POS Application is already installed, it starts after the desktop
appears. If no application is installed, the CAL starts and presents a
password screen. See the 'Starting the Windows CE Workstation for
the First Time' section.

If the NK.BIN file is present on the CF Card, the message
'Updating the Operating System - Please Wait' appears on the
display.
If the BIOS Binary file is present, the message 'Updating the BIOS,
please wait.' See chapter 3 for more information about updating the
BIOS.
Each dot represents one block of data read from the NK.BIN file.
