Creating a Gateway Run-time Image for a CEPC (Windows CE 5.0)
The following procedure shows how to create an OS design by using the Gateway design template.
By default, the IP firewall is configured in the gateway OS design. This firewall provides enhanced security for the gateway and also provides enhanced security for systems on the private side of the gateway. For information about the default settings and changing these settings, see Customizing a Gateway.
The Gateway design template provides a user interface that enables users to configure the gateway and firewall. The following list shows the tasks you can do to customize the firewall that is provided with the gateway design template.
Provide a separate user interface for configuring the firewall. For information about the firewall functions that you can use, see IP 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\Samples\Logging\Logger directory.

In Platform Builder, from the File menu, choose New Platform.
When the New Platform Wizard appears, choose Next.
On the Workspace Name And Location page, in the Name box, type the name of the workspace, and then choose Next.
On the Board Support Packages (BSPs) page, from the list of available board support packages , select CEPC: X86, and then choose Next.

In the Catalog , expand the Device Drivers node, navigate to Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Network, and then choose the appropriate device driver for your private network interface card. For a list of available drivers, see Network Drivers.
Note You must add a separate Catalog item for each type of network adapter that is installed on your CEPC. However, it is not necessary to add a separate Catalog item for each network adapter, as long as the network adapters are the same type.
Next, you can perform the optional steps to customize the OS design or you can proceed to configuring the registry. See Customizing a Gateway or Configuring the Gateway Registry.
