不知道有没有人试过在VMWare中跑过Windows CE。可能有人会问:在VMWare中跑Windows CE有什么意义?Windows CE不是有基于Vritual PC的emulator吗?要做干吗不做一个基于Microsoft自己的Virtual PC的?
简单的答案是,VMWare支持一些Virtual PC(包括Windows CE emulator)不支持的硬件。对我来说,最吸引我的是VMWare支持USB设备。另外根据我的经验VMWare的性能比Virtual PC强。
本文介绍如何针对VMWare支持的硬件,做一个相应的Windows CE BSP。根据VMWare虚拟机的spec,我打算支持的硬件列表如下(SCSI设备、软驱这些用的比较少就算了):

其实从根本上来说,给VMWare用的Windows CE跟普通PC或者Virtual PC的并无多大区别。因此基本做法和一些概念都可以看MSDN里对CEPC的相关介绍。这里只重点介绍一些针对VMWare的不同地方。
给Windows CE用的VMWare虚拟机可以用DOS的。BSP可以直接copy一份Platform Builder带的CEPC BSP做为起始的BSP,然后在此基础上修改。从IDE硬盘、声卡、显卡、键盘鼠标的支持比较简单,用Platform Builder中现成的driver就行了。
比较麻烦的是网卡和USB host controller。
VMWare虚拟的网卡兼容AMD PCnet-PCI II,具体型号是AMD AM79C970A,这个在Windows CE下可实在不好找,自己写一个就太麻烦了。不过在google大法的强力帮助下,我花了很长时间终于找到一个编译好的driver-还是for Windows CE 2.0的(现在想不起来在哪儿找到的了,想要的直接找我吧)。相关注册表设置见附录。
比较头疼的是USB host driver。VMWare中支持的USB host controller是USB 1.1 UHCI controller。Windows CE下有现成的driver,但是直接拿来用的话你会发现不能工作。一番研究后发现问题出在LEGACY SUPPORT REGISTER (LEGSUP)的设置上-VMWare在初始化UHCI controller的时候enable了SMI generation,而且没有把USB中断route到PIRQD上。简单说来就是VMWare对UHCI controller的初始化和Windows CE自带driver要求的不一样(其实是和UHCI spec定义的不一致,UHCI spec定义LEGSUP寄存器默认值是2000h(见5.2.1节),VMWare中是3Bh)。为了能让UHCI controller工作,需要修改UHCI driver的初始化例程,重新编译一个版本。具体修改见附录。
这样,一个支持声卡、网卡、USB设备的VMWare BSP就基本搞定了。
