Make Run-Time Image Phase (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

During the Make Run-Time Image phase, the files in the release directory are combined to create a run-time image, typically named Nk.bin.

At the beginning of the phase, the project-specific files, which include Project.bib, Project.dat, Project.db, and Project.reg, are copied to the release directory.

Localization tasks performed during this phase include the attachment of resources to executables and string substitutions for configuration files, based on the selected locales. For more information, see Make Binary Image Tool.

After the run-time image is created, you can download it to a target device. For more information, see Downloading a Run-Time Image.

This phase corresponds to the Make Run-Time Image** command on the Build menu.

If you modify the project-specific files, or otherwise modify files in the Release directory, you must run the Make Run-Time Image command before the changes are reflected in your run-time image. For more information, see Building a Run-Time Image.

For information about creating and building a run-time image using the IDE, see How to Use the IDE to Create, Customize, and Build a Run-Time Image.**
