Industry Trends

Devices• Devices continue to be more connected (At home, work, and in the

field)

• OEMs need to incorporate larger number of more complex applications into the embedded device

• Deployed Devices need to grow in functionality; applications from a variety of sources can create a richer end-user experience

• Devices need to work “Better together” with other devices and technologies

Developers• Device life cycles are shrinking in the consumer space

• Developers are getting asked to do more in less amount of time

• Device differentiation continues to shift towards the application

• Investments in hardware and software platforms need to be able to be used in multiple products.

• Scalable

• Footprint scales with functionality selected

• Wide variety of CPU support

• Runs on x86, ARM, XScale, MIPS and SH4

• Supported

• 10 year support policy from Microsoft

4.2 5.0


Key Benefits Of Windows Embedded CE 6.0

Key Benefit How

Quickly Enable new exciting device scenarios

• Windows Embedded CE 6.0 introduces new technologies that help improve existing devices and also enable device makers to enter new markets by creating new types of devices

• Certain categories of devices are getting commoditized, many device makers are looking to enter new markets where they can apply their existing competencies.

Helps to lower upfront costs and lower risk; leading world class support

• Windows Embedded CE 6.0 uses a volume-based royalty licensing model where the device maker purchases runtime licenses only when their device starts shipping.

• “Try before you buy” periods and tool kits allow device makers to truly evaluate before making a purchase decision.

Helps to Achieve a rapid time to Market and control development costs

• Windows Embedded CE 6.0 provides device makers with OS Components, source code and a familiar integrated development environment (IDE) to quickly build and test both the OS and applications for the device.

Innovate and Create

Differentiated Devices

• Windows Embedded CE 6.0 helps open up new device design opportunities and new markets for device makers and partners.

• CE 6.0 helps developers create devices that enable a rich customer experience, and can handle increased functionality.

• Help you can code faster

• Updated Compilers

• Improved performance from CE 5.0


Tools & Editors in Platform Builder For CE 6.0

• Tools• Integrated into Visual Studio 2005• Updated catalog functionality over previous versions

• Better visibility to developer-selected components and system-selected dependencies

• ARM Device emulator integrated into Platform Builder• New ARM debugger transports supported

• Faster: DMA KITL for device emulator. • Better: Does not have to emulate Ethernet or serial.

• Postmortem debugging• The debugger can open .kdump files and view them in Platform Builder• You now have better visibility of what happened during your device crash.

• New USB download transfer• Runtime image viewer

• Static analysis tool for nk.bin files

• Editors• Intellisence: Code Faster with Auto complete for functions & variable names.• Syntax highlighting• Graphical Reg File editor

• Provides an easier way to edit Reg files over previous versions• Improved Catalog editor

• Create and edit catalog files easily


Compilers and Documentation in Platform Builder For CE 6.0

• Compilers • Visual Studio 2005 Compilers (v8)

• Improved conformance• Improved code generation

• Supports safe SEH for security compliance

• Allows pluggable C Run-Time support

• Pluggable Floating Point support

• PREfast support for ARM, MIPS, x86 and SH

• Reference• Documentation integrated with Visual Studio 2005

• Helps to speed access to reference information


CE 6.0 Operating System

• Re-designed Operating System

• More simultaneous processes and more virtual memory accessibility per process

• Features

• New and updated components device makers expect to build upon their existing CE projects

• File System & Memory Map

• Allowing new exciting scenarios

• Porting Applications

• What will the OEM’s experience be


Re-designed Operating System

• 32K processes & 2GB VM per process

• Devices can provide a rich user experience

• Devices can run a wide variety of more complex applications• Enhanced Flexibility with kernel mode and user mode

• Key, low level OS components, such as GWES, File System manager & device driver manager are now in kernel space for improved performance.

• Developers can put the driver in Kernel space or User space depending on their design goals

• Support for ARM v6 CPUs

• Support for common ARM Core in addition to MIPS, SH & x86• Hard real time capabilities maintained


Operating System Features

• Microsoft ported all the key components from the previous versions of CE

• Customers can easily port projects to this new version

• Commonly asked characteristics for this release

Enforced fixed process slot model

due to the way virtual memory

manager worked

(All slots were always there)

New virtual memory managerdoes not operate

in a process slot model

(You create the process when

you need it)

Process slots occupied lower 2GB VM, this

enforced a fixed size per

process to fit 32 processes

New Virtual memory manager

assigns 2GB of VM to each

process

Before Now


Implementation Of CE 6.0

•Porting applications

•Native

•Well-behaved applications (Win32-compatible) work with little to no changes

• Re-use your existing investments

•“App compat” tool helps assess issues

• Apps using CE 5.0-specific tricks may be problematic

•Managed

•.NET CF 2.0 included• .NET applications will be easily

ported

•Source code

•Shared source program

•New code made available: New Kernel, Filling the gaps from CE 5.0 with around 20 components*

•More code included in the program: 100% of the Kernel & 100% of device manager

•Premium source program

•Easier process to access code from many countries*

•More code included in the program*

*final list and number will be available at launch


BSPs And Drivers

• BSPs• Quickly port your BSP

• Feedback from early adopters is very promising• Key BSPs were included in the Beta

• Developers have actually started porting even before the final version was out• More BSPs being released later

• Microsoft working actively with Silicon Vendors and 3rd parties, check the BSP website for updates

• Beta presented at MEDC• Training of developers took place many months before the final version was out,

ecosystem ready at launch

• Device Drivers• User Mode and Kernel mode Driver Model

• Minimal effort to port existing drivers • DMA Abstraction Layer

• Helps to Improve driver performance• USB OTG “On The Go”

• Your device can be a USB host or USB device• USB Function Composite client

• Allows the USB Device to perform multiple functions simultaneously• USB Function Alternate Interfaces support

• When the device is about to start transferring data, the host side client driver can change the interface to allocate higher bandwidth

• USB Function Printer Client Driver• This lets your CE Embedded device be a printer
