CEDevice

The [CEDevice] section is optional and describes the platform for which your application is targeted. All keys in this section are optional. If a key is nonexistent, Windows CE does not perform any checking. Windows CE also does not perform any checking if a key has no data. The exception is UnsupportedPlatforms; if this key exists but there is no data, the previous value is not overridden.

[CEDevice]
[ProcessorType =[processor_type]]
[UnsupportedPlatforms = platform_family_name[,platform_family_name]]
[VersionMin = [major_version.minor_version]]
[VersionMax = [major_version.minor_version]]
[BuildMin = [build_number]]
[BuildMax = [build_number]]

processor_type

Value that is returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType. For example, the value for the SH3 CPU is 10003 and the MIPS CPU is 4000.

platform_family_name

List of platform family names that are known to be unsupported. If the name specified in the [CEDevice.xxx] section is different from that in the [CEDevice] section, both platform_family_name values are unsupported for the microprocessor that is specified by xxx. That is, the list of specific unsupported platform family names is appended to the previous list of unsupported platform family names. Application Manager will not display the application for an unsupported platform. Also, a user will be warned during the setup process if the .cab file is copied to an unsupported device. For example:

[CEDevice]
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1      ; pltfrm1 is unsupported
[CEDevice.SH3]
UnsupportedPlatforms =              ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported

major_version and minor_version

Numeric value that is returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMinor and OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMajor. The .cab file is valid for the currently connected device if the version of the currently connected device is less than or equal to VersionMax and also greater than or equal to VersionMin. For Windows CE Japanese-language devices, set VersionMin and VersionMax to 2.01.

Note The supported Windows CE OS versions include 1.0, 1.01, 2.0, 2.01, and 2.10. When you use these numbers, be sure to include all significant digits.

build_number

Numeric value returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwBuildNumber. The .cab file is valid for the currently connected device if the version of the currently connected device is less than or equal to BuildMax and also greater than or equal to BuildMin.

The following code example shows three [CEDevice] sections: one that gives basic information for any CPU and two that are specific to the SH3 and the MIPS microprocessors.

[CEDevice]                           ; A "template" for all platforms
UnsupportedPlatforms = pltfrm1       ; Does not support pltfrm1
; The following specifies version 1.0 devices only.
VersionMin = 1.0
VersionMax = 1.0

[CEDevice.SH3]                  ; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .cab file specific to SH3 devices.
ProcessorType = 10003           ; The SH3 .cab file is only valid 
                                ; for the SH3 microprocessors.
UnsupportedPlatforms =          ; pltfrm1 is still unsupported
; The following overrides the version settings so that no version
; checking is performed.
VersionMin =
VersionMax =

[CEDevice.MIPS]                  ; Inherits all [CEDevice] settings
; This will create a .cab file specific to "MIPS" devices.
ProcessorType = 4000             ; The MIPS .cab file is only valid 
                                 ; for the MIPS microprocessor.
UnsupportedPlatforms =pltfrm2    ; pltfrm1 and pltfrm2 are 
                                 ; unsupported for the "MIPs" .cab file.

Note To create the two CPU-specific .cab files for the setup .inf file in the previous example, you must run the CAB Wizard with the /cpu  sh3  mips parameter.
