  21. Modifying a Platform • Choosing a Reference Configuration • Directory Structure of Platform Builder • Platform Settings • Modifying Configuration Files • Building a Selected Component

  22. Choosing a Reference Configuration • Microsoft provides eight reference configurations • MINKERN: Memory-minimal version of Windows CE • Memory, process, and file management • Heap and memory allocation • Registry and databases • MININPUT: Minimal version of Windows CE • User input • Native driver support (keyboard, display)

  23. Choosing a Reference Configuration (continued) • MINCOMM: Minimal version of Windows CE with communications • Data communication : IRDA, Serial, TAPI, • Networking: TCP/IP, PPP, WinInet, Secure Socket • MINGDI: Minimal version of Windows CE with graphical device interface support • MINWMGR: Includes most of the main modules and components • Window management, graphics, and drawing support • COM support • Communication

  24. Choosing a Reference Configuration (continued) • MINSHELL: Nearly complete version of Windows CE • Command processor (similar to CMD.EXE) • Task manager • MAXALL: Includes most modules and components • Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) • Pocket Word, Pocket Internet Explorer • IESAMPLE: Sample version with Internet Explorer 4 • MAXDX: DirectX

  25. Directory Structure of Platform Builder • The Platform Directory • The Public Directory • The SDK Directory • The Others Directory

  26. The Platform Directory • Hardware-specific files • Location: %_WINCEROOT%\Platform • Each directory represents a Windows CE–specific platform adaptation • CEPC for x86 reference platform • ODO for Hitachi reference platform • ODODub for ODO with dial-up boot loader • SDB8XX for Blue Planet reference platform • Place your platform-specific files in this directory

  27. The Public Directory • Platform-independent set of components and configurations • Location: %_WINCEROOT%\Public • Three types of subdirectories: • Module and component subdirectories (Common, Wceshellfe, Wceappsfe, IE, MSMQ) • Reference configuration subdirectories (Minshell, Maxall, etc.) • Custom configuration subdirectories

  28. The SDK Directory • Location: %_WINCEROOT%\SDK • Contains tools and library to support Platform Builder • Processor compilers (x86, SH3, Arm, MIPS) • Development tools • Remote tools

  29. The Others Directory • Location: %_WINCEROOT%\OTHERS • Contains: • Run-time libraries (VB, MFC, ATL) • Platform Manager component • ATL and MFC Samples • Device driver test tools

  30. Platform Settings

  31. Modifying Configuration Files • .BIB files • .REG files • .DAT files • .DB files

  32. The Configuration Files: .BIB Files • Indicate module/component to be included in the image • Text files with four types of sections: • The FILES section: Memory reservation for static data files • The MODULES section: Specifies object module to be loaded in memory ;Name Path Memory Type ----------------------------------------------------- Tahoma.ttf $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\Tahoma.ttf NK SHU Taskman.exe $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\Taskman.exe NK

  33. The Configuration Files: .BIB Files (continued) • The MEMORY section: Platform memory information • The CONFIG section: Define other image information (compression, ROM size) • Name Start address Size(bytes) Type • ----------------------------------------------- • NK 8C800000 00800000 RAMIMAGERAM 8C050000 007AFFFF RAM

  34. The Configuration Files: .REG Files • Define default registry settings • COMMON.REG, IE.REG, MSMQ.REG, WCEAPPS.REG, WCESHELL.REG - registry settings for Windows CE modules • PLATFORM.REG: platform-dependent registry settings (device drivers entries) • PROJECT.REG: Application entries, autolaunch • As a .reg file in Windows NT • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Init • “Launch10”=“shell.exe” • “Launch20”=“device.exe”

  35. The Configuration Files: .DAT Files • Define folder structures of your image • COMMON.DAT, IE.DAT, MSMQ.DAT, WCEAPPS.DAT, WCESHELL.DAT • PLATFORM.DAT • PROJECT.DAT • Example: • Root:-Directory(“Program Files”) • Directory(“\Program Files”):-Directory(“My Projects”) • Root:-Directory(“My Documents”) • Directory(“\My Documents”):-File(“MyFile.doc”)

  36. The Configuration Files: .DB Files Define default image databases • COMMON.DB, WCEAPPS.DB, WCESHELL.DB • PLATFORM.DB • PROJECT.DB

  37. Building a Selected Component

  38. Lab B: Fine -Tuning the Build Process

  39. Understanding the Build Process • Overview of the Build Process • Step 1: System Generation • Step 2: Compile and Link Phase • Step 3: Building the Flat Release Directory • Step 4: Making an (NK.BIN) Image

  40. Overview of the Build Process COMMON DCOM DIRECTX IE MSMQ SCRIPT SERVERS WCEAPPSFE WCESHELLFE ..\cesysgen\ddk ..\cesysgen\oak ..\cesysgen\sdk Step 1. System Generation Step 2. Compile & Link ..\platform\.. Step 3. Build Release Directory C:\WINCE300\PUBLIC\ pc2MinKern\RelDir\ X86_Debug> NK.BIN Step 4. Make Image

  41. Step 1: System Generation (CESYSGEN.BAT) Complete header files (.h) System-specific header files SYSGEN.BAT Complete system libraries Linked libraries Module definitions (.def) Specific .def files Cesysgen.bat

  42. Step 2: Compile and Link Phase • Compile source code (directories and subdirectories) • Process • Uses DIRS files to determine which subdir to compile • Uses SOURCES files to determine which files to compile • Calls NMAKE.EXE to compile and link object modules • Creates a binary file into a “target” folder for .exe, .dll (ex : Target\Shx\Sh3\CE\Debug) • Creates a binary file into a “lib” folder for .lib(ex : Lib\Shx\Sh3\CE\Debug)

  43. Step 2: Compile and Link Phase (continued) • DIRS file • Lists subdirectories to build • Subdirectories can contain DIRS files Example : • DIRS =\ • Display \ • Mouse \ • Keyboard \ • Ethernet

  44. Step 2: Compile and Link Phase (continued) • SOURCES file • Provides build.exe information, i.e., which file to compile, which type of module to build (.exe, .dll, .lib) Example: • TARGETNAME = Kbdmouse • TARGETTYPE = Dynalink • DLLENTRY = DllMain • TARGETLIBS = \ • $(_COMMONSDKROOT)\Lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\Coredll.lib • INCLUDES = $(_COMMONSDKROOT)\Inc • SOURCES = \ • ioport.cpp \ • vgaports.cpp \

  45. Step 3: Building the Flat Release Directory • Copies all platform files in the release directory • Copies all binaries in the release directory • Build all Platform Builder Projects (pbp) at the end of this step

  46. Step 4: Making an (NK.BIN) Image • Merges release folder files to make the Windows CE image • Process • Merge configuration files:All .bib files => CE.BIB (Windows CE files to be combined)All .reg files => REGINIT.INI (entire default registry)All .dat files => INITOBJ.DAT (directories, file location)All .db files => INITDB.INI (default databases) • Compress reginit.ini in a binary registry file (DEFAULT.FDF) • Replace resources in .exe and .dll for language adaptation • From ce.bib, combine binaries and files into a Windows CE image (NK.BIN)

  47. Adding Components to the Platform Builder Catalog • Creating a Component File • The CECInfo Block • The ComponentType Block • The Implementation Block • The BuildMethod Block • Adding a Component File to the Catalog

  48. Creating a Component File • List of blocks in a text file that describes components to be included in the catalog • Four types of blocks: • CECInfo Block • ComponentType block • Implementation block • BuildMethod block

  49. The CECInfo Block • Information about CEC file • Example: CECInfo ( Name(cepc) GUID({1850C9B1-98A2-11d3-993F-00105AC7264F}) CECVersion(3.00) Vendor("Microsoft") Description("CEPC components") )

  50. The ComponentType Block • Component information to be associated with it • Example: • ComponentType ( • Name (“OAL”) • Description(“OEM Adaptation Layer”) • Vendor (“Vendor name”) • GUID( “{B3509B44-F1E4-11D2-85F6-004005365450}”) • Implementations( • Implementation( • … • )
