Public Common OAK Directory (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/5/2010
The OAK directory contains component files, such as development tools.
The OAK directory contains the following directories.
| Directory | Contents |
|---|---|
Bin |
Tools that build the run-time image and are in directories specific to each type of hardware platform. For example, the tools for an i386-based workstation are in Bin\I386. |
Catalog |
Files that include Catalog information, including some default Catalog item files and design templates. |
Cpulibs |
Files that provide libraries for each type of CPU and are in directories specific to each type of CPU. |
Dbgpub |
Files that can be used when debugging. |
Demos |
Sample application files. The following files are in this directory:
|
Drivers |
Device Drivers. The platform-independent portion of device drivers in this directory are sometimes linked with the platform-dependent portions of drivers for each platform to create the final driver. You do not need to modify the platform-independent portion of the drivers. The source code is supplied for reference. The Calibrui, Fatui, Netui, Oomui, Startui, and Waveui directories include customizable portions of the Windows Embedded CE user interface (UI). The source code is included so you can modify it if you want to customize the UI for your platform. |
Files |
Files used to build the OS image, initial directory structure, initialized databases, and initialized registry. This directory also contains the Intltrns directory, which contains files that include localized device-specific strings for supported languages This directory also contains the following files:
|
Inc |
Header files required to build demos and platform-independent portions of device drivers. |
Lib |
Libraries required to build platform-dependent GWES components and system components, such as Gwes.dll and Nk.exe, which are the platform-dependent portion of the device drivers. The libraries are in directories with the following formats:
An example is Sh4\Retail. Do not include your libraries in this directory, except for driver libraries, because you have been supplied with the source code for the platform-independent portions. If you rebuild platform-independent portions of these drivers, the library that results is included in this directory. Before you modify the platform-independent portion of a driver that Microsoft supplies, copy the source code to your project and then build that project. The project library should be in Public\Project\Oak\Lib. You must also modify the sources file in the code for a specific platform. |
Misc |
Files common to all development projects, including the Windows Embedded CE Build Environment tool (Wince.bat), which configures the build environment. |
Notify |
UI portions of Windows Embedded CE APIs that manage user notification for devices with a UI. The source code is included. |
NotifyM |
UI portions of Windows Embedded CE APIs that manage user notification. These APIs are for devices without a UI. Stub functions are provided that enable notifications to be used to launch applications on trigger events or at a scheduled time, even on devices without a UI. The source code is included. |
Target |
Applications and DLLs that make up the Windows Embedded CE OS and components. The .dll and .exe files, with their associated .pdb and .map files, are in directories with the following formats:
Do not store custom components in this directory. It is only for Windows Embedded CE OS components. |
Tktest |
Files for implementing tests of the Tiny Kernel OS design. |
Tools |
Source code files for development and deployment tools that run on a desktop computer running Microsoft® Windows NT®. The Signfile subdirectory contains source code files for Signfile.exe, which is a tool for embedding digital signatures in Windows Embedded CE executable files. |
Utils |
Utilities for measuring interrupt latencies and benchmarking. |
Wtl |
Header files that are part of the Windows Template library. |
