FREE WORKSHOP – Windows Embedded Compact 7

Arrow Electronics, Microsoft and TI invite you to attend a free hands on workshop where you will be able to learn how to use the Microsoft tools to build and deploy the recently announced Windows Embedded Compact 7 OS.  This product will be released early in 2011, and the workshop gives you a chance to explore the “Customer Technology Preview” version.

You will get the Compact 7 OS running on the latest “BeagleBoard-xM” running 1GHz version of the ARM Cortex A8 processor from Texas Instruments.

Our partners MPC Data will provide expert training and answer all your technical questions.

Attendees will be able to purchase a special offer bundle including the Microsoft Platform Builder Toolkit, and the BeagleBoard-xM development board pre-loaded with Windows CE6.0, and a free upgrade to Compact 7 as soon as Microsoft release to manufacture.
