Kernel transfer independence layer (kitl) Analysis of Windows CE 6.0 (1)

 

The Kernel Independent Transport Layer (KITL) designed by the Windows CE operating system is mainly used to facilitate various debugging services, by separating the communication service protocol from the hardware transmission communication layer, it reduces the trouble of designing the hardware transmission layer, so that developers do not need to understand how data is transmitted to different communication devices, use different types of hardware transmission ports and Platform
The remote tool of Platform Builder is used to remotely debug the target device. At the same time, KITL is also an essential tool for the Kernel Debugger (Kernel Debugger.

KITL serves as a communication service between a development workstation (usually a PC) and a target device. It is composed of desktop (PC) components and target device components. on the desktop end, it is a dynamic link library (CeConnDll. dll), in order to enable KITL to use the API functions defined in the dynamic link library, the dynamic link library must be registered in the registry of the desktop system (in the installation of Platform
Builder system ). In Windows CE 5.0, KITL, OAL, and Kernel (Kernel) are compiled in an executable Kernel, while in Windows
In CE 6.0, KITL is compiled as an independent module (kitl. dll), and KITL initializes the call process and
The connection method of Builder has also changed.

The following describes how to port the KITL function of Windows CE 5.0 to Windows CE 6.0 and how
The call sequence and compilation process of KITL in CE 6.0.
