Creating a File for the Boot Loader StartUp Function (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

In the process of developing your boot loader, you must create a file called Startup.s. Startup.s will contain your implementation of the boot loader StartUp function.

To create a file for the StartUp function

1. Navigate to %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\MyPlatform\Src\Bootloader\Eboot.

2. Create a file called Startup.s.

   Because of its low-level nature, the new Startup.s file must contain code written in assembly language. The following code example is specific to the ARM hardware platform. Your code may vary. For more information about the hardware platform used for this example, see Boot Loader Design.

   OPT   2             ; Disable listing 
   
   INCLUDE kxarm.h     ; This defines the WinCE/ARM Calling Sequence Specification
   
   OPT   1             ; Reenable listing
   OPT   128           ; Disable listing of macro expansions
   
   STARTUPTEXT
   LEAF_ENTRY StartUp 
    nop               ; *** This routine will be filled in later ***
   END
