PCI Bus Driver (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The PCI bus is a common technology used on many embedded devices. All modern desktop computers have PCI expansion slots for peripheral devices, which replace the ISA slots used in the past. In embedded systems, PCI devices can also be embedded into system motherboards. PCI bus support makes it possible to include a wide variety of inexpensive PCI devices on embedded hardware platforms.
Like a PC Card, PCI has Plug and Play and power management features. The same device driver can be used in ISA, PCI, and direct system bus designs.
