Ericsson Mobile Platform

Hi
I would like to know whether a C code written on a Win CE platform can
be ported(with little or no mods) to a Ericsson Mobile Platform. Also
is there an Library Support provided with SDK of Ericsson Mobile
Platform ?
I'd be happy to get some pointers on this.

Thanks

I don't think you can port C code from WinCE to Ericsson (which is Symbian OS deep inside) without effort, mainly because it uses more C++ style (a very specific one).

And what do you mean under 'Library Support' there?

Hi Alex
By Library Support, I meant that does it have a set of pre-written functions (header files) which can be re-used in my code.

To be more clear, my application running on Win CE, uses certain functions and so wanted to know if there is a concept/provision of static and dynamic libraries in EMP. Any thoughts on these ?

static libraries and dlls are supported, i.e. you can develop some components as dlls and link against them. but those dlls you might want to load at runtime - it is called ECOM and is rather some exotic way type, because it has the one and only exported function. so the whole concept is similar to WinCE, but there are a lot of differences. In general, it is much closer to Smartphone stuff rather than to Windows Mobile

Hi Alex
I wanted to know which handsets running on EMP platform support WiFi. Secondly, which are the tools availavble for devloping applications on EMP platform.
Thanks

WiFi - it depends on vendor, not OS
Tools - well, recently it is CodeWarrior for Symbian OS, but it is under rerplacement by Carbide.c++. Its Express edition is free (but without debugger), Developer and Professional ones are also available. you can download all stuff from Nokia's website

Thats right. The issue is that I can have a C application which I can use to monitor the WiFi signal strength, now I need to port it on a EMP which has a Symbian OS.

well, I think it'll be quite different creature under Symbian OS
