Target group
System designers and developers who already have experience with Windows XP.Prerequisites
This course requires that students meet the following prerequisites:
- Proficiency using the Windows Interface
- General Knowledge of Computer Hardware
- General knowledge of the Windows XP operating system
- Some programming experience will be helpful while taking this course but
not required. The course will briefly look at source code in some modules -
however as a student you will not be required to write any code.
- Familiarity with HTML and Visual Basic is helpful, but not required
Course description
After an overview, the participant will get an understanding of the product Windows Embedded Standard. The student is familiar with the components and the architecture and will be able to compose and to configure a customized Windows Embedded Standard from a device data base. He learns how to create an image. Questions concerning the proper quality assurance and the hereby involved testing will be covered thoroughly.Tools to be used are the Target Designer, the Component Designer, the Target Analyzer, the Device Update Agent , the SDI, and the Component Database Manager.
The whole course is completely accompanied by practical exercise:
The Windows Embedded Standard Command-Line Tool (XPECMD) is a command-line utility that provides a powerful, scriptable interface to the Component Management Interface (CMI), which is the basis for all of the Windows Embedded Standard tools. By using the XPECMD, it is possible to build the complete image generation process. In doing so, you may store the image generation process into the version control system.
Participants are invited to bring their own hardware for the labs. According to our experience, the probability to take home a complete prototype image is more than 90%. In either case, the problems of the customer device are being disclosed. A short specification of the own devices:
- Ethernet/TCP-IP interface
- IDE interface, DiscDrive > 10 GB + CD-ROM, target,
- Boot device, e.g. Flash etc, including appropriate (!!) cables, adapter and drivers.
- Keyboard, mouse
