Hi Denis,

I am an unfortunate developer stuck with WindowsCE at work! Don't know
if the following is of interest to you, but for the sake of the
record....

I recently manage to build our WinCE/Arm project (pure C++) with Qtc
and Qbs, and I'm looking forward remote deployment and remote
debugging too (If only i could showcase this, i might convince the
team to switch to QtC, and then why not, switch to Qt for embedded
dev!)

The product I'm working on has - in dev mode - MS active-sync and FTP running.
I haven't tried to write a QtC plugin for this (yet), but i've noticed
that QtTest has all you need for doing this kind of things [1] [2]
By the look of the remote Linux code [3], writing a remote windows
plugin is certainly not an easy task, but given that there's no
OpenSource solution for this, everything, even the most basic, would
be very welcome indeed.

My 2 cents,
Chris
