Training - Developing Embedded Solutions with Windows Embedded Compact 7/2013

Dauer: 5 Tage

Kursbeschreibung       

Our course „Developing Embedded Solutions With Windows Embedded Compact 7/2013” is an enhanced and updated version of our highly successful “Windows Embedded CE System Generation and Drivers"-course. After the course the participant is able to compile Microsoft system and third party components such as drivers as well as a hardware-specific Windows Embedded Compact 7/2013 kernel. The participant is thus able to develop an Embedded Compact 7/2013 system driver and to test it by using the platform builder kernel debugger.

After an overview of the component architecture of the CE OS the attendee will be introduced into the essential steps of the build process. All of the important tools of the up-to-date Platform Builder will be discussed, so that the participant will be able to understand all the phases (Windows Embedded Compact 7/2013, cesysgen, buildrel, makeimg) of the build process, to adapt the environment parameters and configuration files for his or her necessities and to perform the build process stand alone. The various download- and debugging- techniques will be mediated. In order to create an adapted kernel, there are kernel specific libraries that are necessary. The creation and the export of these SDK libraries is a topic of this course. Furthermore, the addition of a proprietary application into the kernel will be discussed.

First focus is a profound overview to Windows Embedded Compact 7/2013 RTOS its architecture and components, tools for image generation, the complete build process as well as image generation troubleshooting.

Next focus is a short introduction to the multithreading- and synchronization model of Windows Embedded Compact 7/2013. The differences between Windows 7/8/10 will be covered as well, on demand. The thereof derived real-time behavior will be discussed intensively.

Another focus is the driver programming. An introduction into memory architecture and the Windows Embedded Compact model of the dynamic linking (DLL programming) will be provided. After discussion of the device manager the development of stream drivers will be learned. One completely thread safe device driver will be implemented. Other driver types will be referenced as wellAdditional topics that are covered are the BOOT-Loader, the BSP (Board Support Package) and implementing the power management in the driver.
