To enable the target control service, you must first build a run-time image that supports the tool. When you enable Target Control, Platform Builder includes shell.exe, in the run-time image.
By default, a run-time image that supports Target Control includes KITL, regardless of the build options you choose.
When enabled, Target Control runs independently as a connectivity service. For general information about connectivity services, see Core Connectivity Overview.
To enable the Target Control Service
From the Project menu, choose Properties.
In the Property Pages window, select Configuration Properties, and then select Build Options.
In the Build Options window, select Enable KITL, and then choose OK.
Selecting this option enables KITL as a transport layer for communication between the development workstation and the target device for debugging.
From the Target menu, choose Connectivity Options.
Choose Core Service Settings.
Choose the following KITL settings:
- To instruct Platform Builder to boot the target device in active KITL mode, choose Enable KITL on device boot.
- To enable loading files in the flat release directory from the target device, choose Enable access to desktop files.
Choose OK.
