Now i find what I probabbly have to do but do not know how. However I found that I have to make BINFS image for flashing my device from sd/mmc card. When I test rom checksum i get message that NO BINFS FILESYSTEM. The options that are ofer to me are
WINCE by USB
UBOOT by USB
WINCE by SD/MMC
UBOOT by SD/MMC and
format FLASH for BINFS
If someone know now how to make BINFS FILESYSTEM please let me know. My system was win ce net 4.2 core

if you want to build the OS yourself you must be able to select the right drivers for your platform etc.

actually it is very easy to build a core cenet 4.2 system, but it may not be able to boot without the correct drivers and whatnot.

if you want to know the details and support is no longer available from the manufacturer (?!?!) send me a PM.

Contact the manufacturer and ask for an image. It's a pretty new device and they should support it (unless they're out of business).

Dear CMONEX Thanks a lot for your kindness to help me. When I get to bootload mode i can see that i can do it also from sd/mmc card, as from usb. So please help me if you can to make binfs for flash my medion md95900 from sd/mmc. When i connect to usb from the only mode i can get, bootloader mode it needs driver called "SEC S3C2410X Test B/D" so I do not know what is that and when i can found it. I did write to Medion but they are sorry they are under construction or something like that I am little away from west civilisation but if You can help me I will be pleased.
All the best, Marko

Unfortunally not. I have only the possibility to get to bootloader mode and on the back side of my device is written that there was "win ce .net 4.2 core". In the bootloader mode i find options for flashing it from usb or SD/MMC card and the option "format for BINFS" So i think i must find the right flash.

hmm, that's a problem then if you don't have the OS image to copy into your ROM. do you have any idea about the BSP (drivers), what would be needed for the device?

maybe someone else with the same device can copy the OS from the rom...

I have tried to get to bootloader mode and i found option "format for BINFS" so I did it by mistake and now I can not start my device so I can only get to bootloadr mode where i cat find options "wince from usb" or "wince from sd/mmc card". So I think I could flash it if i found right software. On the back on my device was writen: win ce .net 4.2 core but I can not find it to downlosd
I do not know what is BINFS and how can I prepare image for sd/mmc for flashing
