Note: These files are for boot from uSD (green colored text) and eMMC (blue colored text).
If users just want to create a bootable microSD green colored file is sufficient, they should copy
these files into their microSD card. But if users want to burn both eMMC module and microSD,
they should copy all of these files into microSD card, then follow following instructions:

Note: User can config display and logo setting via eSOM335x.ini files described earlier in
Boot Customization section, before copying these files, there are two eSOM335x.ini file one for
uSD and one for eMMC, therefore setting for them might be different according to user
requirements.

- Copy corresponding files to your microSD card root folder

- Insert your microSD into your development board and power on it.
- If you use eDVK335x Press Boot Key then press RST Key on this development board to

Platform Builder
Platform Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Visual Studio 2008 provide a
graphical user interface for creating Compact 7 OS designs. Platform Builder, included with the
Windows Embedded tools, customizes the Visual Studio integrated development environment
(IDE) and you can build custom embedded OS designs based on the Windows Embedded CE OS.
Platform Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Visual Studio 2008 provide a graphical
user interface for creating Compact 7 OS designs. Together, Platform Builder and Visual Studio
make up a complete integrated development environment (IDE) where you can build, develop,
download, and debug code for an embedded device all from a single environment. So, it is possible
to customize the Windows Embedded Compact Image and write user applications with just one
tool. Platform Builder includes an OS design wizard that makes it easy to select the components
that you’ll need for your OS. These components include redefined Board Support Packages (BSPs)
and design templates containing catalog items for the functionality that your OS can support.

Installation
For install Platform builder follow these instructions:
- Firstly, install Visual studio 2008.
- Open Windows Embedded Compact 7 folder and install it.
- If in installation process, needs to path of any file, select Windows Embedded Compact 7
folder on your PC.

NOTE: If Platform Builder expired after a time, you can change your PC date to a date before
your Platform Builder.

21
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

Configure OS
The process of designing an OS includes creating the initial OS design, and then modifying
and refining the design until the OS has all the functionality and support required for the target
device. A design template is a possible starting point for an OS design. You can begin an OS
design by choosing a design template, or you can begin an OS design by selecting catalog items
individually, depending on the requirements for your device. The eSOM335x come with a
configured project and source code for work with Platform Builder.

- After install Platform Builder, copy WINCE700 content files (from Source folder in net disk
drive URL) to WINCE700 folder that created when Platform Builder installation.

- To build using the Platform Builder user interface (UI), you must create an OS design or open
an existing one. A complete project is created and exist in WINCE700 folder. In this folder
navigate to \OSDesigns\eSOM335xOS and click on eSOM335xOS.sln for open it.

22
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

- The Windows Embedded Compact 7 build system is responsible for building an entire operating
system. Unlike building a software application, building an entire operating system includes a
large variety of components:
 The core operating system (kernel, file system, security features)
 Built-in applications and services (Media Player, Internet Explorer)
 Built-in driver stacks (USB, networking)
 Custom drivers and hardware abstractions (display driver, audio driver)
 Custom applications

The first objective of the build system is to combine all of these components into a single binary
image. An image is typically a single file that contains all of the above components laid out in
memory so that they can be downloaded to a device and then executed by the device. The second
objective of the build system is to allow components to be easily selected and substituted so that
only the necessary components are included in the image.

- Platform Builder gives you several options for building your OS design. You can use the Locale
page to set environment variables that are passed to the build localization tools during the build
process. In this way, you can create an OS design for non-English languages. For add a UI language
for Windows environment right click on eSOM335xOS, then click on Properties, in opened
window go to Locale Tab and click on Language Packs to Build and tick your language checkbox.

- In Catalog Item View you can do additional configuration in this section. In fact, catalog is a
graphical representation of all the available components in the Compact 7 OS. Typically, these
components are not hardware specific. Each OS design has a set of catalog items associated with

23
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

it. By selecting catalog items, you can include or exclude OS functionality. When you exclude
components, they are not built by the build process or included in the final image. Catalog Items
View consists of 3 section:
o BSP
o Core OS
o Third Party
Your initial catalog item selections are simply a starting point for your OS design. You can add
and remove catalog items throughout development.

- With click on Core OS, the hierarchy list of all available catalog items is shown that you can
configured for your customized OS. Device Driver , .Net Compact Framework, Fonts, … are
components can be modified depending on the user needs. Select a catalog item to add it or clear
the check box to remove the catalog item. Some of these items dependent on another items, be
care for deselect these options. Selected catalog items are explicitly included. A green box next to
a catalog item( ) indicates that another catalog item depends on it; the catalog item with the
green box will be included as long as its dependent item is included.

24
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

Add Language
for adding another language to your OS through Platform Builder, in catalog item tab in Core OS
section click on International, then click Language, list of world language opened, and user can
tick them upon their project needs. Some language needs to ticked Unicode Script Processor for
Complex Scripts check box to support Unicode’s in your device.

Shell and User Interface

in this section you can select your Windows UI. Standard Shell is selected for Windows UI by
default. You can deselect this, if you do not need to any Shell, then embed your application for
running it after OS booting.
Note: Smart Devices Library depend on Standard Shell. For remove Shell, you should
remove catalog item “Smart Devices” as well as “Standard Shell”.

25
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

By default, two types of virtual keyboards is ready for user interface, users can customize virtual
keyboard through select/deselect them in User Interface as shown on below figure:

26
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

BSP
Many drivers are developed for the eSOM335x and users can include or exclude them into their
projects. List of drivers are included in BSP source as shown in following figure:

BSP catalog in Third Party section containing hardware-specific drivers and other routines that
allow a particular operating system to function in a particular hardware environment. Users can
select/deselect any hardware driver according to pinMux document and their project requirements.
For example, users can enable UART1. The eSOM335x has 5 UART, by default UART1 is
reserved for debug, but users can enable this port for other application with tick UART1 check
box.

The pinMux document is associated to pads config file ( bsp_padcfg.h ) existed

Source\WINCE700\platform\eSOM335x\SRC\INC folder.

27
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

Another option in BSP directory is Debug Program over Ethernet option that it is if selected,
users can deploy and debug application from Host PC to their boards.

File Systems and Data Store

The WINCE registry holds the data of applications, drivers, user parameter configurations and
other configuration settings. There is two possible ways to provide for registry persistence in a
Windows CE system:
 Hive Based Registry: Save the changes to the registry in files on a disk.
 RAM Based Registry: Saves the changes to the registry in RAM.

In RAM-based method if the power supply of the Board is powered off the registry data based
on RAM will be lost, In Hive-based method, all changes saved in system and that is not lost when
the power is turned off. The registry can also be used for system initialization like auto launch an
Application.

28
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

Adding file or application to OS Structure

If you want to embed an application in your BSP, follow this instruction:
- Open WINCE700\platform\eSOM335x\FILES folder and paste your file here.
- Open platform.bib file and write your program name in this file, in example
AutoLaunchProgram.exe is added to this file in line 158 as shown in following figure:

- By default, Windows folder is your board path, therefore most of applications exist in this
folder, that means, after calling, Windows can find them. In addition, users can add another path
to OS, if users want to add folders to in their BSPs via Platform Builder, they can open
platform.reg file in WINCE700\platform\eSOM335x\FILES folder and write their paths instead
of “Path1” and “Path2” as shown in following picture, then in platform builder after all
modifications, build new OS. In this way, in new NK image, new path is added to Windows and
users can check this in Loader section of Registry Editor.

29
eSOM335x Quick Start Guide

Build OS
- After all catalog items was modified as your requirement, save project and right click on
eSOM335xOS in Solution Tab and click on Build eSOM335xOS.

- Build routine is a time-consuming process. When you build using the IDE, Platform Builder
links and copies all necessary OS components, builds the platform, builds subprojects, copies files
to the release directory, and makes the run-time image. After Build succeeded, navigate to below
Folder:
WINCE700\OSDesigns\eSOM335xOS\RelDir\AM33X_BSP_ARMV7_Release

You should see NK.bin file created by Platform Builder. You can copy and replace this file with
old NK.bin file and reboot your device with modified OS.
Restore Platform Builder to Factory Setting
For restore item catalog settings to factory setting, copy original file in
eSOM335x\Source\WINCE700\OSDesigns\eSOM335xOS on your CD and paste and replace in
Platform Builder installation Drive:\WINCE700\OSDesigns\eSOM335xOS
