Книга: Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Exam Preparation Kit

Chapter Review

Windows Embedded CE provides a variety of tools, features, and APIs that you can use to ensure optimal system performance and power consumption on your target devices. Performance tools, such as ILTiming, OSBench, and Remote Performance Monitor, can help identify performance issues within and between drivers, applications, and OAL code, such as deadlocks or other issues related to thread synchronization. The Remote Kernel Tracker enables you to examine process and thread execution in great detail, while relying on structured exception handling, which Windows Embedded CE supports natively.

Windows Embedded CE is a componentized operating system. You can include or exclude optional components and even replace the standard shell with a custom application. Replacing the standard shell with an application configured to start automatically lays the groundwork for enabling a kiosk configuration. Windows Embedded CE runs with a black shell in a kiosk configuration, meaning that the user cannot start or switch to other applications on your device.

Regardless of the shell, you can implement power management functions in your device drivers and applications to control energy usage. The default Power Manager implementation covers the typical needs, but OEMs with special requirements add custom logic. The Power Manager source code is included with Windows Embedded CE. The power management framework is flexible and supports any number of custom system power states that can map device power states by means of registry settings.
