Emulator Support for an SDK (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

You can enable Emulator support in your SDK by adding support for the Device Emulator board support package (BSP) to your OS design. By supporting the Device Emulator in the SDK, you can create a virtual hardware platform that an application developer can use to test an application.

When you configure and build an SDK with Device Emulator support, you enable software on the application development workstation that behaves like a hardware platform. For more information about the Device Emulator, see Device Emulator.

When you configure an SDK, you can do the following:

  • Specify whether to use a release or debug configuration of your OS design for the Device Emulator.
  • Specify a screen resolution for the Device Emulator.
  • Include one or more skins for the Device Emulator to simulate the appearance of the hardware being emulated. **
  • Use host-key combinations to provide special functionality in the Device Emulator. Using these key combinations, the application developer can control Device Emulator operation completely, including buttons on the skin.
