HOWTO: Add Support for Windows CE Services to an Embedded Windows CE Platform

ID: Q238933

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder, version 2.11
Microsoft Windows CE, version 2.11 Embedded ToolKit (ETK)

SUMMARY

This article describes the steps needed to add support to a Windows CE embedded platform created with Platform Builder for Windows CE Services.

The default Windows CE configuration does not include any support for Windows CE Services. To add support for Windows CE Services a number of files and registry entries must be added to the device.

The following must be added to the Project.bib file. This file is located in %_PROJECTROOT%\Oak\Files.


MODULES
;  Name            Path                               Memory Type
;  --------------  ---------------------------------  -----------
   repllog.exe     $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\repllog.exe     NK
   rapisrv.exe     $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\rapisrv.exe     NK
   rra_stm.dll     $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\rra_stm.exe     NK
   pegobj.dll      $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\pegobj.exe      NK
   aafobj.dll      $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\aafobj.exe      NK

This action will add the following files to the OS image:

Repllog.exe
Rapisrv.exe
Rra_stm.dll
Pegobj.dll
Aafobj.dll

The following must be added to the Project.reg file. This file is also located in %_PROJECTROOT%\Oak\Files.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services] "Version"=dword:00020000

When Rapisrv.exe is started on the Windows CE device it will attempt to make a connection to the host computer using the connection specified in the control panel communication applet.
