Build Windows Embedded compact 7 Development Environment

《 Windows Embedded compact 7 initial experience It briefly introduced the establishment of its development environment. After one year, the project was recently planned to be officially imported in, so it was necessary to set up its development environment again. Because it cannot coexist with the CE development environments of all previous versions, it was previously installed in virtual machines. To be used in projects, the performance of virtual machines is far from enough, so it is best to install dual systems. It is quite convenient to install the dual system on Windows 7, and it takes about half an hour to complete.

As the saying goes, the second installation encountered some problems that were not encountered before. After installing the system, install vs2008 first. Because the SP1 downloaded earlier is unknown, download the new one on another machine with a fast network speed. Install common software such as SVN, input method and 360 on the development host, and enable Windows Update. After the system is updated, SP1 is almost downloaded. It takes a long time to start the installation after being extracted from ultraiso. However, I was prepared to install vs2005 SP1. It may take about half an hour to roll back and the installation fails. Again, the same is true. The error prompt cannot be seen ...... The previous installation was successful. What happened this time? Is it related to 360? Sorry. Restart the system and try again. If not, reload the system and make the worst possible. The result was successfully completed! It is suspected that Windows Update is involved. After all patches are installed, they are not restarted. If you install vs2008 SP1 directly, there may be problems. If you download a vs2008 integrated with SP1, the installation will save a lot of time and avoid these detours.

The installation of platform builder7.0 is quite simple. Note that in addition to the debug and retail modes, the checked mode is added in 7.0. If you choose to install one architecture, it will occupy several GB of space, so select as few as possible. In the future, online patching will save a lot of time and space. I chose armv5, 6, and 7 for all arm architectures. After the installation is complete, use Windows Embedded developer Update (wedu) for online updates. This is also a part of pb7.0 improvement. 6.0 and earlier versions need to go to the Microsoft official website to download the year-round patch packages and monthly patch packages of previous years, and they have to be installed in a certain order. Now, 7.0 is not so troublesome.

The Windows Embedded developer update interface is as follows. You can select the version to update.

Due to the limited network speed, it takes two days to download updates. The final offline layout is shown in. I hope it will be useful in the next installation.

In general,Windows Embedded compact 7The establishment of the development environment is relatively simple. Pay attention to the following points.

• install vs2008 integrated with SP1, saving time
• select as few components as possible to save space
• have a fast enough network to truly enjoy Windows Embedded developer Update (wedu) convenience
