Chapter 5. Connecting to Target Device

Windows Embedded CE runtime images were generated from the exercise in Chapter 4. To launch these runtime images to the designated target devices, we need to establish connections between the target devices and the development workstation.

The OS design in Chapter 4 was created to support three BSPs. Each BSP is designed to support one particular family of target devices. The OS design was created to generate three different sets of OS runtime images for the three supported BSPs. Each set of OS runtime images consists of one release mode and one debugging mode runtime image.

This chapter goes over the process to establish connections between the development station and the three target devices — the emulator, eBox-4300, and CEPC — and to transfer the OS runtime image from the development station to the target device after each connection is established.

Target Device Connectivity

After the runtime image is generated from the OS design, the development station needs to establish connectivity with the target device to download the image to the device.

The three common connectivity options are

  • Ethernet

  • USB

  • Serial

To work with the emulator, the configuration for target device connectivity provides the device emulator (DMA) option to establish a connection to the emulator.

Connecting to Emulator

As part of the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 installation, the emulator is installed along with the Platform Builder tool when ARM processor support is selected. To use ...
