IDE Driver Dependencies (Windows CE 5.0)

The integrated development environment (IDE) driver dependency model is layered on top of the command-line driver dependency model.

To understand the IDE dependency model, you must be familiar with the command-line dependency model. For information about the command-line dependency model, see Command-Line Driver Dependencies.

A workspace can have more than one board support package (BSP) in it. For most Catalog items, when you add a Catalog item to your workspace, the IDE adds the Catalog item to all BSPs in the workspace. However, the IDE only adds drivers to the current BSP because drivers are hardware specific.

The IDE indicates whether you can add a specific driver to your BSP by making the item available in the Catalog. Otherwise, the item is grayed out if you cannot add it.
