Devices Panel (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Devices panel specifies the target device and CPU/OS version details. If you have software development kits (SDKs) for a Windows Embedded CE powered device, you can specify them for your plug-in. You can also specify whether your plug-in uses the .NET Compact Framework.
The following table describes the elements in this panel.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
Name |
Specifies the name of the selected device configuration. This name must be unique among all device configurations in this .cebundleinfo file. |
Remote path |
Specifies the path on the device to which device-side binaries are deployed in the selected device configuration. The actual deployment path is in a subdirectory with a globally unique identifier (GUID) value. |
Platform |
Select the platform that you want to use for the selected device configuration. The list displays smart devices that you have installed on your system. These smart devices also appear in Visual Studio when on the Tools menu, you click Options, click Device Tools, and then click Devices. Note The Minimum OS Version and Maximum OS Version boxes are disabled if Platform is set to anything but N/A. |
Minimum OS version |
If you set Platform to N/A, specify the Minimum OS Version that the selected device configuration supports. Allowed values are 4.20, 5.00, 6.00, and None. |
Maximum OS version |
If you set Platform to N/A, specify the Maximum OS Version that the selected device configuration supports. Allowed values are 4.99, 5.99, 6.99 and None. With Minimum OS Version, this setting specifies an inclusive range of operating system versions. For example, to have a device configuration support Windows CE .NET 4.2 or later, set Minimum OS Version to 4.20, and Maximum OS Version to None. Or, to have a device configuration support only Windows CE .NET 4.2, but not Windows CE 5.0, set Minimum OS Version to 4.20, and Maximum OS Version to 4.99. |
CPU |
If you set Platform to N/A, select a CPU for the device configuration using the available list. This list displays CPUs that are officially supported by Windows Embedded CE 6.0, plus an entry for the .NET Compact Framework, which is CPU-agnostic. Note that some CPU variations supported only in earlier versions, such as MIPS16 and SH3, are not listed here. If you select .NET, this means that the device configuration is running .NET Compact Framework version 1.0. |
Packages included |
Specify one or more device packages to be included in the device configuration. The list of device packages shown here comes from the Device Packages Panel. Any device packages that are highlighted are included in the selected device configuration. |
