Tutorial Step 9: Creating an SDK

  • Article

After you have customized your platform, and booted and debugged the OS, you can use Platform Builder to create an SDK for your platform. Developers can use this SDK to create applications based on the platform that you created. In this step, you create an SDK for Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++® 4.0.

To create and export an SDK

  1. From the Platform menu, choose Configure SDK.

  2. When the Export SDK Wizard appears, choose Next.

  3. In the Product name for MSI installation box, type MyCEPCPlatformSDK.

  4. In the Manufacturer name box, type MyCompany, and then choose Next.

  5. Verify that the eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 support check box is selected, and then choose Next.

  6. On the final page, choose Modify the SDK configuration settings when this wizard closes.

  7. Choose the License File tab, and then select the Append End User License Agreement check box.

  8. In the End User License Agreement Path box, type the location and name of a text file that you want to use as a sample End-User License Agreement (EULA).

    - or -

    Choose Browse, select a text file that you want to use as a sample EULA, and then choose Open.

  9. Choose the CPU tab, and then, in the Configuration list box, verify that you have selected a build configuration for your SDK. If you have not selected a build configuration, choose Edit, and then select a build configuration for your SDK.

    Selecting a debug configuration may help prevent errors from occurring when you build your SDK. For the purposes of this tutorial, select a debug configuration.

  10. Choose OK to close the window.

  11. From the Platform menu, choose Build SDK.

    While the SDK is being built, the Export SDK Wizard dialog box displays build information.

  12. To close the dialog box, choose OK.

  13. When the build is complete, choose Done.

    Your SDK is in the Mycepcplatform_sdk.msi file in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\MyCEPCPlatform\SDK.

You have completed this tutorial, successfully created and debugged a custom run-time OS image and a simple application that runs on a CEPC, and successfully created an SDK for your platform.
