  8. New Technologies Enabling New Embedded Scenarios

  9. New Technologies Enabling New Embedded Scenarios

  10. Windows Embedded Developer Experience • Same development tools as desktop • Visual Studio 2010 • .Net 3.5 • WPF, WCF • Silverlight/Expression Web • Directx, Direct 3D • Porting applications and drivers to Quebec • Sysinternals suite for dependency analysis • Windows embedded toolkit • Support for embedded developer scenarios

  11. Windows Embedded Developer Experience • Embedded device scenarios • Read-only devices • EWF, EWF HORM, FBWF, registry filter • Public APIs • Boot from removable media • USB, CD, DVD • Custom shell support • Light-weight management • Device update agent

  12. Windows Embedded Developer Experience • Hardware and bios support • 64 bit • UEFI support • Drivers for latest embedded platforms • Intel, VIA • Design goals • Minimal image size for 512 M flash • 512 M of RAM • Fit for embedded x86 and x64 processors

  13. Agenda • Objectives • Microsoft windows embedded value for embedded devices • Quebec product goals, scenarios, technologies • The technical concepts • Windows developer technologies • Embedded operating system building blocks • Image building tools • Building an image • Deployment • Servicing

  14. Quebec Image Building Concepts EEF Package Feature Packages Update Package Embedded Core (Bootable) File Based Write Filter Internet Explorer Language Packs/ Driver Packs 3rd Party Software Installer Operating System Updates Image Assembly and Configuration on the device Embedded Operating System

  15. Quebec Operating System Image Building Process • Select hardware platform, peripherals, form factor • Application and driver dependency analysis • Every image is built on the device using • The embedded core • Needed feature packages • Device role • Application dependency requirements • Language packages • Driver packages • Embedded enabling features (e.g., FBWF) • Operating system updates • Third-party software and drivers

  16. Embedded Core • Collection of functionality needed for • Booting • Kernel • Boot-critical drivers except for SCSI adapters) • Win Logon, Net Logon, LSA • File system (NTFS, UDF) • Command shell • Servicing stack • Networking • RPC • Minimal platform for application and driver testing • Language neutral

  17. Feature Sets And Packages • Feature set is an operating system functionality area • Windows Media Player • Internet Explorer • Network security • Feature set is composed of 1 or more packages Additional plug-ins to browser (hotmail, feeds, rating, administration kit) Internet Explorer Accessories Package • Advanced rendering, graphics and multimedia The basic browser application Internet Explorer 8 Feature set Internet Explorer Engine Package Internet Explorer Basic Package MSHTML rendering and editing Windows Internet API • Internet Explorer Core Package

  18. Feature Sets And Packages • Order of 60 feature sets • Few hundred packages • Each package is signed and serviceable by Microsoft • Configurable settings for each package in the feature set • Binaries and resources in the package can not be removed post install • Removed resources can come back through servicing • Feature packages can be installed on the image post-build

  19. Driver And Language Packages • Driver packages are created based on driver INF • Printer drivers are split further based on manufacturer • About 600 packages inbox • Language-neutral • Language packages consist of MUI resources and fonts • Used for localizing operating system image • ENG, JPN, Chin-traditional, Chin-simple, GER, ITL, FRE, SPN • Target is parity with Windows 7 • Language and driver packages can be installed post build

  20. Quebec Embedded Developer Toolkit • Quebec image build tools • Image Builder Wizard (IBW) • Installs Quebec interactively or unattended • Image Configuration Editor (ICE) • GUI tool to create image configuration and distribution shares for image configuration • Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) • Installs M feature sets to an offline or online Quebec image • Windows PE 2.1 • Windows operating system with limited services, used for initial image installation

  21. Quebec Embedded Developer Toolkit • Sysprep • Removes system-specific data from an embedded Windows image • Supports application plug-ins • Windows Deployment Services (WDS) • Used for remote installation of images on devices • Additional tools for managing languages packs, drivers, and servicing

  22. Quebec Image Build Experience • Wizard experience • Interactive build on the device • Suitable for fast prototyping • Product evaluation • Advanced experience • Image configuration on developer machine • Unattended image build on the device • Advanced embedded development scenarios • OEM

  23. Wizard ExperienceBuild an image for a kiosk interactively WIM Sysprep, DISM • Bootable media with • Windows pre-installation environment (WinPE 2.1) • Image Builder Wizard • Quebec Ecore and feature sets • Boot device in WinPE • Run IBW • Select drivers, features, languages • Logon • Install custom software • Generalize master image using Sysprep • Capture image into WIM using DISM • Deploy WIM 1 2 3

  24. Advanced ExperienceBuild an image for a kiosk Image Configuration Editor (ICE) WIM • unattend.xml • Features • Drivers • Languages • OS updates • Custom SW • SMI settings Sysprep, DISM Using ICE create image configuration in unattend.xml Create bootable Media with: Winpe, IBW, Quebec wims, Unattend.Xml • Master device • Boot device using WinPE • Run setup with unattend.Xml • Generalize master image using Sysprep • Capture image into WIM using DISM • Deploy WIM 1 2 3 4
