  @AGG Hi, for an Atom processor, I would recommend to use the ATOM BSP rather than the basic CEPC one. You can find it on Adeneo's Web site: www.adeneo-embedded.com/.../show

  @AGG Well let me point you to some online training material, as explaining the full process would make for a full article :-). So take a look at MSDN, there you will find all the training material you need to get started with CE: msdn.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx -Olivier

  @AGG It seems your eboot is configured to use fixed IP address (it seems to be using an IP address already used on your Network) and also seems to be confiured to boot an image from the Network, not from local storage. usually the CF card is seen as an IDE drive from which you can boot. You can setup the BIOs of the x86 machine to boot from this IDE drive. Let me recommend you to prepare your CF card using the tool diskprep referenced in this previous blog post, it will allow you to prepare the CF card to boot your nk.bin file: blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-setup-a-virtual-machine-to-run-windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx -Olivier

  @Akash follow the instructions in my previous comment for CF boot, you should be good. For the Ethernet driver, the RTL driver should be available in the catalog. you might need to change the regitry settings for it. -Olivier
