Windows Embedded CE operation system
Do you need to update older Windows CE versions? Besides our support for older WinCE versions, we also offer extensive experience in the conversion of complete customer projects or platforms from WinCE to Embedded Linux. Your advantage is that we know both operating systems very well. We are happy to consult you and help you with the implementation.
By using the open, operating system independent .net core environment, it is often possible to move a WinCE application ( if created under .net ) into a Linux environment without any problems. Our specialists also consult and help you with this or other operating system specific porting.
