SUMMARY

For any embedded device that requires the use of an operating system, bootloader code is one of the lowest levels and most challenging to develop.

Because the bootloader is the first piece of code to run on the device during power-on, there aren’t other codes already launched or running in the background to help access the system hardware and file system. As a developer, you need to have a thorough understanding about the hardware and operating system to develop efficient and quality bootloader codes.

As a development tool, with the primary objective to deliver efficient and effective development tools to help simplify your tasks to develop solutions for the Windows Embedded Compact platform, the Platform Builder for Compact 7 provides the necessary tools and resources to simplify your developer efforts, including a full range of quality bootloaders to support different development scenarios.
