        Microsoft has released a Windows CE 4.2 BSP (board support package) for AMD's Alchemy Solutions DBAu1500 development board, according to an announcement today by AMD. The DBAu1500 development board is based on the Alchemy Au1500 processor. As a result of Microsoft's release of this BSP, the entire AMD Alchemy Solutions processor family is now certified on Windows CE 4.2, AMD said.




        The new BSP includes source code for a boot loader for initializing and customizing hardware, device drivers, and a corresponding set of configuration files, and provides the ability to configure the package to select desired peripherals, operating system features, file systems, and memory types, AMD said.

        The Au1500 contains a MIPS32 CPU core and is available at speeds of 333MHz, 400MHz, and 500MHz, with power dissipations of less than 400 mW, 700 Mw, and 1.2 W, respectively. On-chip functions include a PCI bus controller, two 10/100 Ethernet Controllers, USB Device and Host controllers, two UARTS, an AC-97 controller, general purpose I/O, and a PCMCIA controller
