1.1 Software Requirements
• Development machine with Windows XP Professional Operating System
• Target machine with at least 5 GB hard disk
• Microsoft Windows XP Embedded tools Service Pack 2 (needs Service Pack 1 to
be installed first). An evaluation version is available online at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=dacd1722-256b48c5-91c1-af6062340efc&displaylang=en
• Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Feature Pack 2007. Eval version is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9bdf1dea-a37e4d25-83df-aabbaa78914f&displaylang=en
• Componentized version (sld files with repository) of audio, LAN and storage
drivers.
1.2 Detailed setup procedure to build XP
Embedded image with Audio, LAN and
Storage drivers
1. Install the Windows XP Embedded SP2 and Feature Pack 2007 tools on the
development machine
2. The target should have a bootable drive – preferably XP, this is re quired to run
the command tap.exe in the next step.
Or
Refer to the following Microsoft link to run the command –
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa460355.aspx
Target Hardware profile
3. To know the target hardware profile, user needs to run a utility called tap.exe
(available in C:\Program Files\Windows Embedded\utilities assuming C drive as
the XP Embedded tools installation drive)
4. Run tap.exe, this creates a file called Devices.pmq in the same folder
5. Run Component Designer. From the File menu, choose Import. The Choose
File for Import dialog box appears Browse and choose Devices.pmq file and
then click Open
6. Enter a log file name if you want and click Start to import the Devices.pmq file
into Component designer. It usually takes several minutes for the entries in
the Devices.pmq file to be matched with the device drivers available in the
database
7. When finished, click Close. The Devices.sld file appears in the left pane of
Component Designer. From the File menu, Click Save to save the sld file.
8. Close Component Designer. Import this sld file into the Component Database
Manager (explained next)
Import sld files into Component Database Manager
9. Run Component Database Manag er from Start->Microsoft Windows Embedded
Studio.
10. Click on the Import button (from default active Database tab). Browse through
the audio, chipset, LAN and storage components, and select the sld file. For e.g.,
select 945GM.sld file from Chipset/sld/. Note that ‘Copy repository files to
repository root’ message should be checked.
11. Click Import and the copying of repository files to the database proceeds. After
completion, ‘Import Succeeded’ and ‘Changes to the database have been
committed’ messages appear. Click Close
12. Repeat the steps (8-9) for all the available sld files including the Devices.sld
obtained from import of Devices.pmq file
13. A successful import of all the repository files and the components indicates that
the components are available for Target designer through Component
Database Manager.
Build the target image using Target designer
14. Run Target Designer from Start->Microsoft Windows Embedded Studio.
15. From File menu, click New. Enter a name for Configuration Name and click OK
16. In the left-most pane, all components available in the database is listed. Note
that it should also have devices component listed. Right-click on the devices
component and click Add which adds the target hardware profile to the image
17. Now to add the components in the sld file to image, search for all sld-specific
components in the database using the Search box in left-most pane in Target
Designer. For example, to add component from the 945GM.sld file, enter the
string ‘Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU/PM/GMS/940GML/943GML and Intel(R) 945GT
Express Processor to DRAM Controller - 27A0’ in Search box, hit Search. The
searched item is highlighted. Right-click on the highlighted item (in this case
‘Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU/PM/GMS/940GML/943GML and Intel(R) 945GT
Express Processor to DRAM Controller - 27A0 ’) and click Add.

So, in the search box, search for all these components, adding the searched item
one-by-one.
18. Also, search for ‘Device Manager’ component and add it to the image. This
component is required to verify the successful installation of audio, chipset, LAN
and storage drivers once XP Embedded boots up.
19. From the Configuration menu, click Check Dependencies. It takes a while to
complete the dependency check and add all dependent files to the image
configuration. After the dependency check is completed, click Close
20. Resolve any errors. Errors if any, are listed in the Tasks tab in the bottom pane.
So, right-click on the each of the errors (if the errors are more than one), click
Action Select the appropriate component and click Add
21. Note that the Tasks are striked once the action (of adding dependency
components) is undertaken
22. In the middle pane of target designer, where the list of added components to the
image configuration is displayed, find a component named ‘User Account’ Double
click on it and it shows Settings. Clicking on the settings will open User
Account Properties on the right-most pane. In Account Properties, enter a
username and password in the respective boxes, and check Administrator radio
booton for User Type. This will create a windows login screen that would prompt
for a User name and password upon Windows XP Embedded logon.
23. Repeat steps (17-18) (Check dependency and resolve errors) until all errors are
resolved
24. Click on Configuration, click Build target image
25. Set the Build type to Release (automatically selected by default)
26. Set the Destination folder where the built images should go. (Default is
C:\Windows Embedded Images\ where C is the XP Embedded installation drive)
27. Click Build. If check dependency is not done prior to build, a Message is
displayed as follows
It appears that you have not run a dependency
check since the last time you changed this file.
Would you like to run a check right now?
(highly recommended)
Click Yes.
The actual build process takes sometime, after the build completes, click Close.
Save the configuration by clicking Save from the File menu. Close the target
designer by clicking Exit from the File menu.
28. Copy the built XP Embedded image (default from C:\Windows Embedded Images)
to the target hard drive primary partition. The XP Embedded image contains
following files:
ntldr, weruntime.ini, ntdetect.com, boot.ini
and folders:
Program Files, Windows, Documents and Settings
Booting XP Embedded target
29. When XP embedded is booted for the first time, First Boot Agent (FBA) runs
which instantiates all the components before coming up with the Windows XP
Embedded Login Screen
