Run-Time Image Configuration Files (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The Make Binary Image tool (Makeimg.exe) calls several applications and batch files, which use image configuration files to create a run-time image. For more information about Makeimg.exe, see Make Binary Image Tool (Makeimg.exe).
The following table shows the run-time image configuration file types.
File type |
Description |
|---|---|
Defines the modules and files to include in the run-time image. |
|
Defines the RAM file system directories, files, and links for a run-time image created during a cold boot. |
|
Defines the databases to include in the object store of a run-time image created during a cold boot. |
|
String file |
Defines locale-specific string replacements for text that is visible to a user in .reg, .dat, and .db files. Each line in the .str file must end with a carriage return (CR) to enable correct processing. |
Specific run-time image configuration files apply to your hardware platform; others apply to the OS designs that contain Windows Embedded Compact-based modules and components.
Regardless of scope, you can use IF and ENDIF conditional blocks and environment variables in any run-time image configuration file to modify the resulting run-time image. For more information about environment variables, see Environment Variables.
