Delve into the fundamental tools and techniques for Windows Embedded CE - and get ready to deliver the next innovation in smart, connected devices. Covering the newest version of the technology - Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 - and led by two embedded-development experts, you'll get the hands-on instruction and pragmatic reference you need to begin building a wide range of small footprint devices.
This book examines the architecture, built-in programming tools, drivers, and build process, and shows how to take advantage of the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Software Development Kit (SDK). Whether new to programming with Windows and Windows Embedded, or already working with the platform, you'll find the best practices and real-world guidance you need to get productive quickly.
Discover how to:
- Install the development environment and toolset;
- Apply the device-planning practices that help optimize development time & resources;
- Exploit the unified build system, including batch files & console utilities; - Use - or create - board support packages for hardware-specific code;
- Dig into driver infrastructure, classes, and development processes;
- Design & configure a custom run-time image;
- & more.
