Guys, I need to monitor some windows CE 3.0 devices for memory usage, threads used, system performance etc.

I have been looking for software that will let me monitor and log as many parameters as possible to a text file, but I can't seem to locate any suitable software. I have software that will show me threads, memory usage updated per second etc, but nothing that will let me output the results to a log file for later analysis.

Can you guys recommend any good Windows CE system monitoring software that will let me do this? Thanks.

So, no suggestions then? :)

Anything would be of help - including what apps you would use for CE 4.2, 5.0 etc.

None at all? What about for Windows CE .net (4.2). Anything available that does system logging for that OS?

Or actually...is there a PPC program that can do what you want? PPC programs can run on HPC platforms with a few tweaks.

Really? What kind of tweaks? You have me very interested now......

Hoo boy...where to even begin. The tweaks involve hex-editing executables of PPC programs, and patching DLLS on the HPC. Of course, you have to be savvy with extracting cab files from the setup files of various programs to be able to install and extract the executable in the first place, since you can't install a PPC program onto an HPC through AS.
