How to Add Power Management to an OS Design (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
You can add support for power management to an OS image to reduce power consumption on a target device and preserve the file system in RAM during the reset, on, idle and suspend power states. By adding power management to your OS design, you can also improve overall OS power efficiency and enable the OS to coexist with applications and drivers that do not support power management.
You can track your progress in the following table.
| Step | Topic |
|---|---|
1. Create an OS design for a specific board support package (BSP). |

2. Add the Power Management (Full) or Power Management (Minimal) catalog item to your OS design from the Platform Builder catalog. The Power Management (Minimal) catalog item implements all the required power management application programming interfaces (APIs). These APIs are not fully functional. The Power Management (Full) catalog item fully implements the entire power management framework. All APIs and features are fully functional. For more information on power management, see Core OS Services. |

4. Build your run-time image. If your run-time image builds correctly with no errors, you have successfully added power management to your run-time image. |
