Lesson 4: Deploying a Run-Time Image on a Target Platform
Having solved all build issues and successfully generated a run-time image, you are ready to deploy Windows Embedded CE on the target device. There are several ways to accomplish this task. The method you choose depends on the startup process you use to load Windows Embedded CE on the target device. There are several ways you can start a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 run-time image. You can start an image directly from ROM, in which case you must deploy the run-time image on the target device by using a ROM tool. You can also use a boot loader, and then either download the run-time image every time the device starts or store the image in persistent memory for reuse. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 comes with generic boot-loader code that you can customize according to your specific needs. It is also straightforward to implement a third-party boot loader. Essentially, Windows Embedded CE can accommodate almost any start environment, and makes it easy to download new run-time images quickly and conveniently during the development cycle and for release to the end user.
After this lesson, you will be able to:
? Decide how to deploy a run-time image on a target device.
? Configure Platform Builder to select the correct deployment layer.
Estimated lesson time: 15 minutes.
