I have installed the emulator, but apps which work on my WinCe 6.0 device (arm) do not work in the emulator. I also tried to build an app with Lazarus, which does not work in the emulator, I still have not tested in on he real device.
Лазар 3,0 32 bit (sometimes 64 bit); FPC3,2,2; rev: Lazarus_3_0 on Win10 64bit.

When I try to start the app in the WinCe 5.0 emulator a message 'project1' is not a valid Windows CE application.
When I run in on the real WinCE 6.0 device it tries to run, but shows hundreds of unhandled exceptions.
I made a stripped app. I will report when I try in on real HW (Mstar2531 CPU). Again hundreds of unhandled exceptions.
The app is nothing but a window with a button on it. The exe is here (until 02.I.2014).

Actually none of the apps from ceFFM runs in the WinCE 5.0 emulator.

What exactly emulator do you use? It is definitely not the emulator from the post of @pcler.

Too bad, it does not work on my HW. What could I have done wrong?
Edit: I just found that s.o. else cannot run his apps on the same processor.

Just a silly try.
Compress your application wiht upx. (upx391w\upx.exe project1.exe)

http://upx.sourceforge.net

No, app is now 3 times smaller but it still shows ten (hundreds) of unhandled exceptions EAccessViolation....
So, under these circumstances an emulator becomes useless  :'(
I have left Target Processor= Default, I wonder if some other value could do, but this goes to another thread.

Here I found a working emulator. of Windows CE 6.0, processor ARM920 (whatever it is).
Apps from ceFFM  run on it but the (my) app that I have attached does not. It does not even show an error message in the emulator... simply nothing.

Testing your project with your emulator is not possible!!!!

I shall tell you why:
at first!!!-> In the emulator you see a button on the right corner.
When you click on that , you see that your applications has been started as much you clicked!!!!
But you can't see nothing >:(

The cause:
You have created an default applications with form position poDesigned.
But the screen of the emulator is not so large. So The application start out of the boundaries of your screen.

Change your form position to for example poScreenCenter. You can change this in the object inspector.

Below I give you mine build options:
Target os wince
target cpu family  arm
target  processor standard

Something I've in mine original applications, but not in this test application is :
compiler options-> additions and overrides -> LCLWidgetType:=wince

I advise you to do that also.

Then you see the result as in the attachment.

Now you can try it on your physical device, but please, before uploading make a hard or soft reset on that device.

I don't have your device, but i HAVE a motorola with windows ce 5.0 and on that lazarus build programs works almost the same as on a windows mobile based device.

Remark the following. When you got somewhat further in developing for your device. Don't forget to upx your program. For 2 years ago there became a sort of a bug in the wince compiler for lazarus regarding network connection or keyboard input that could crash your application on your device. This is device specific (not brand but appearantly exact the same devices could crash one, but the other doesn't bother) Fortunately by using upx everythings works correct.

Cheers

Thanks, now it works in the emulator!!!
But it still does not work on the real device.

You probably mean default?

Something I've in mine original applications, but not in this test application is :

compiler options-> additions and overrides -> LCLWidgetType:=wince



I think mine is the same.


Now you can try it on your physical device, but please, before uploading make a hard or soft reset on that device.
 


I switch off and and on. I have no idea how to make anything more.


 
 

Fortunately by using upx everythings works correct.
UPX does not help, just filesize is smaller.
Could you upload binaries of an app of yours, so I could try if it runs on my device?
