• Redesigned for Windows Embedded CE 6.0• Still supports real time• Supports 32,000 processes with 2GB/process

• Source access can help use the best of those core functionalities

• The Device Driver Manager

• Loads device drivers and their interfaces

• Source access can help debug hardware

• The File System

• Manages reading and writing files

• Source access can help can improve file system performance

New with Windows Embedded CE 6.0

• Many Device Drivers

• USB ActiveSync/Modem Class Driver, USB fn Printer, WiFi Driver and many many more

• With Source access, drivers can be modified to quickly start a new driver for a similar peripheral.



Shared Source Diagrams

• Much more code available than previous examples

• Shared Source diagrams make it easy to discover all of the code that is available(msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/ce/sharedsrccode/)

QFEs no longer break Shared Source Code

• QFEs (Quick Fix Engineering) are updates that Microsoft release to fix bugs in Windows Embedded CE.

• Historically QFEs would update the OS binaries without updating the Shared Source Code. This would break debugging and modifying functionalities for developers.

• Since CE 5.0 if a QFE modifies “In the Box” Shared Source, the QFE will not only provide an updated binary but also the updated version of the “In the Box” Source code.

• Since CE 5.0 if a QFE modifies Premium Shared Source, the QFE will update the binary and the updated Premium Source Code will be available on CCP within the current quarter.

Page 15



Even More Source Code…

Shared source programs drive a growing community of developers to build additional drivers and application for use with Windows Embedded CE:

(msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/community/community/communityprojects/ )

• USB Webcam Driver

• Phidgets Driver

• Wifi Driver

• MPEG 2 Demux

• Bluetooth Wrapper

• Gumstix BSP

• OpenSSH

• LSP Samples

You can use those projects in your devices, take the source code as a starting point for a new projects and contribute your

modifications to the community if you chose to do so.
