Hi

Currently I'm trying to run Windows CE 6.0 (Debug Version) on Digi ConnectCore 9M Wi-9M 2443. Everything is fine, Visual Studio 2005 connects with the device and starting to boot up debug version on windows. But at some point it stops at

I've already installed shared folders so Visual Studio can see C:\ymzki folder as my C:\Wince600 folder.

I tried to "push" boot further (F5 key) but then there are another problems with:

Last 4 lines repeats several times (i'm continuing booting up with F5) and then it stops at:

4294785450 PID:400002 TID:f10002 VMProcessPageFault: still looping

And from this place it's infinite loop.

If anyone does have any idea what can be a problem and possible solution? I can paste/send in email full log.

Thanks everyone for any kind of help.

Hi

Have you tried using the "Application Verifier" Tool for Windows CE 6.0 which gives you details of the heap?
According to the log you provided, looks like you are running out of memory( Virtual Space).

Regards,
Sree

Yes, You were right. Hardware I work with doesn't have too much memory. I've made new and "clean" image of WinCE without any custom drivers, apps etc and it works. 

VMalloc throws me an errors during debug when I try to run some bigger programs from SD Card. It asks me to free some memory in order to run application. But I can handle my debugging without it. 

Thank you very much for reply.
