  • Windows XP for Embedded Applications
    Windows XP for embedded applications Written by: Patric Dove, Advantech Corporation, Industrial Automation Group The embedded version of Windows XP is a componentized version of the well-known Windows XP Professional operating system. Instead of everything being wrapped tightly into a single package, XP Embedded breaks the OS down into more than 10,000 individual components, allowing developers to create systems that have the functionality and familiar features of XP. One of the most attractive features of XP Embedded is that it is much smaller than XP for desktop systems — so small, in fact, that it can fit on a 512 MB CompactFlash® card, and still leave room for system applications and data backup. The CompactFlash card resists vibration and shock for reliable storage and can be replaced easily for fast system upgrades. Also of great interest for the embedded system developer are XP Embedded’s choices of boot methods, its wide range of communications options, and the array of tools available for system configuration. XP Embedded uses the same application programming environment as XP, which makes application development quick and easy, and allows the same application to run on desktop and embedded machines. And it has improved code protection for critical kernel structures, file protection and more. Suggested industrial applications for XP Embedded include human-machine interface (HMI) panels, process automation systems, industrial robots, inspection systems, Soft programmable logic controllers (Soft PLCs), remote control devices and factory monitoring systems. Accordingly, many Advantech systems are compatible with XP Embedded. A few of the many possible consumer and commercial applications of XP Embedded would include set top boxes and terminals such as kiosks and ATMs.

For example, you can customize a client shell to expose selected functionality of the device. You can also enable remote administration on your device, add multiple languages, and add multiple user accounts. Exam objectives in this chapter: ■ Create a custom shell component ■ Configure multiple user accounts ■ Configure security ■ Add support for multiple languages ■ Add support for remote administration Before You Begin To complete the lessons in this chapter you need the following: ■ Windows Embedded Studio for Windows Embedded Standard 2009 installed. ■ Completed Chapters 1–5. 177 178 Chapter 6 Adding Windows Functionality Lesson 1: Create a Custom Shell Component Windows Embedded Standard 2009 provides several shells, such as Explorer shell, Task Manger shell and Command shell. You can extend the functionality they provide by creating a custom shell that reflects your application and OS design functionality. For example, if your device monitors a car’s engine at a service garage, the display may need to present gauges that show engine condition and buttons to operate the device. Because the use of embedded devices is so specific, it is preferable that the user not be able to start applications, access the file system or interact in the way they usually do with regular Windows XP client based computers.

  • Managing Windows Embedded 8 Devices with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager
    Managing Windows Embedded 8 Devices with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Version 1.0 January 2013 Introduction Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager helps you to empower people to use the devices and applications they need to be productive, while maintaining corporate compliance and control. It accomplishes this with a unified infrastructure that gives a single pane of glass to manage physical, virtual, and mobile clients. It also provides tools and improvements that make it easier for IT administrators to do their jobs. With Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, Windows Embedded 8 devices can be managed like any other IT asset. However, when a write filter is enabled on the device there are a few different scenarios to consider when managing the embedded device. This paper will focus on these scenarios. First, let’s take a brief look at what a write filter is and why it is used. A write filter intercepts writes to protected volumes, and redirects the writes to a different storage location called an overlay, which is discarded upon restart. By redirecting attempted writes to an overlay, write filters can make a write-protected volume appear to function as a writeable volume. This embedded functionality enables building of stateless (or semi-stateless) embedded devices, ensuring they are returned to the same known state on a restart for a predictable and reliable user experience. An additional benefit is the reduced wear on write-sensitive media such as compact USB flash devices. Types of Write Filter ■ Enhanced Write Filter (EWF). EWF intercepts writes to protected volumes at the sector level.
