Use Release Directory Modules (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
A release directory module is a module that Windows Embedded Compact 2013 loads from the release directory instead of from the OS run-time image. You can modify and test such a module without having to rebuild the OS image. For some modules, you do not have to reboot your device.
Platform Builder maintains a list of release directory modules. For information about how to add modules to the list, see Add Release Directory Modules.
If you designate a module that is loaded and unloaded from memory to be a release directory module, you can update and test the module without having to reboot the device.
You can also have multiple release directories that Compact 2013 searches in the order that you specify. For more information, see Add Alternate Release Directories.
