Many PUBLIC directories contain an OAK (OEM Adaptation Kit) directory. An OAK directory contains OS component files such as development tools, .lib files, and source code that are used to customize drivers and components for implementation.

Directory Types within OAK

All OAK directories contain one or more of the following directory types.

Directory

Contents

FILES

Files can include .reg, .bib, .db, artwork, and localized strings for supported languages.

INC

Header files that support the module.

LIB

Libraries required to build module components.

The libraries are in directories with the following formats:

  • Cpu\CHECKED
  • Cpu\DEBUG
  • Cpu\RETAIL

Do not include your libraries in this directory.

To modify project-specific files, copy the files into your project tree and build the project; then, to correctly link to the appropriate library, update the sources file for the corresponding module.

LOCALIZE

Reserved.

SAMPLES

Code samples.

TARGET

Processor-specific applications and DLLs that make up module components.

The .dll and .exe files, with their associated .pdb and .map files, are in directories with the following formats:

  • Cpu\CHECKED
  • Cpu\DEBUG
  • Cpu\RETAIL

Do not store custom components in this directory. It is for module components only.
