Chapter 20. Deploying a CE 6.0 Device
In the preceding chapters, we covered the CE development environment, tools, how to develop applications using the VS2005 IDE, and sample applications. For most of these chapters, we used the emulator to work through the exercises. In some of the chapters, we worked through the exercises with the eBox-4300 target device, using a DOS-based boot loader.
While the DOS-based boot loader is a great tool for the development process, DOS is a commercial product and requires a separate license to be distributed as part of another commercial product. In this chapter, we will show how to deploy a CE 6.0 device using the BIOS Loader to eliminate the need for booting to DOS and using the DOS-based boot loader to launch the CE runtime image.
We will work through an exercise to build and deploy a CE 6.0 device, using the eBox-4300 as the target device with the BIOS Loader to eliminate the need to use DOS. In addition, we will work through an exercise showing how to clone the sample code under the _WINCE600\PUBLIC directory to the OS design for customization.
We will use the Windows Network Projector (WNP) OS design template to build a Windows Network Projector CE 6.0 device and use the BIOS Loader as the boot loader to launch the CE runtime image when the device power is on. We will also work through an exercise to clone the WNP sample application to the OS design in order to customize the WNP application.
The CE device created through the exercises in this chapter ...
