Creating a Gateway OS Image for a CEPC

  • Article

The following procedure shows how to create an operating system image by using the New Platform Wizard and selecting the Gateway from the list of available configurations.

By default, the IP firewall is configured in the gateway device. This firewall provides enhanced security for the gateway device and also provides enhanced security for devices on the private side of the gateway. For information about the default settings and changing these settings, see Customizing the Gateway.

The following list shows the tasks you can do to customize the IP firewall that is provided with the gateway configuration:

  • Provide a user interface for configuring the firewall. For information about the firewall functions that you can use, see Firewall Functions.

    Code samples of the IP firewall are located in the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Sdk\Samples\Firewall directory.

  • Provide a logging service to log events. For information about the logging functions that you can use, see IP Firewall Logging Reference.

    A code sample that shows how to use firewall logging capabilities to detect port scanning is located at %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Servers\Oak\Gateway\Admin\Adminfwhook directory.

To create an OS image for a CEPC

  1. In Platform Builder, from the File menu, choose New Platform.

  2. When the New Platform Wizard appears, choose Next.

  3. From the list of available board support packages (BSPs), select CEPC: X86, and then choose Next.

  4. From the list of available platform configurations, select Gateway.

  5. In the Platform Name box, type the name of the platform, then choose Finish.

  6. After reading the security considerations, choose Next.

  7. On the New Platform Wizard - Step 7 page, choose Finish to close the New Platform Wizard.

  8. After reading the special feature notification, choose Close.

    Platform Builder generates the initial platform files for both a debug and a release configuration, and then returns control to the IDE.

Next, you can perform the optional steps to customize the platform or you can proceed to configuring the registry. See Customizing the Gateway or Configuring the Gateway Registry.
