PHYTEC kits offer a true rapid development solution by providing all the necessary ingredients to jump start embedded designs; including: a Single Board Computer module and carrier board, color LCD with integrated touch, Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 OS demo image, binary BSP, and all the contents required to enable users to successfully set-up target hardware and build and load a Windows Embedded CE binary image with Microsoft Platform Builder.

The customers’ positive out-of-box experience with PHYTEC kits underscores the relative ease of implementing Windows Embedded CE on actual target hardware. Adeneo is the official partner of PHYTEC America for all Windows Embedded CE developments. Combined, PHYTEC and Adeneo offer a robust solution and the key starting points for OEMs needing to have a complete Windows Embedded CE solution up and running under very short development time constraints

According to Thomas L. Walker, Director of PHYTEC America: "With the demand for more connected experiences, device requirements will continue to change quickly and grow in complexity as devices become more service-oriented. With the enhanced built in connectivity in Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 PHYTEC will be able to offer improved production ready, off-shelf hardware and BSP software to OEMs who need to have a complete Windows Embedded CE solution up and running under very short development time constraints."
