Emulator Support for an SDK (Windows CE 5.0)
You can enable Emulator support in your SDK by adding support for the Emulator board support package (BSP) to your OS design. By supporting the Emulator in the SDK, you can create a virtual hardware platform that an application developer can use to test an application.
When you configure and build an SDK with Emulator support, you enable software on the application development workstation that behaves like a hardware platform. For more information about the Emulator, see Emulator.
When you configure an SDK, you can do the following:
- Specify whether to use a release or debug configuration of your OS design for the Emulator.
- Specify a screen resolution for the Emulator.
- Include one or more skins for the Emulator to simulate the appearance of the hardware being emulated. For more information about Emulator skins, see Emulator Skin.
- Allow the Emulator to use the Ethernet card on the development workstation by selecting the Ethernet support check box on the Emulation tab in the SDK Settings dialog box.
- Allow the application developer to configure the Emulator's port settings by selecting the Ports available to be configured check box on the same tab.
- Use host-key combinations to provide special functionality in the Emulator. Using these key combinations, the application developer can control Emulator operation completely, including buttons on the skin.
