After you create the PKCS #7 file, Ciroots.p7b, to hold your certificates, you add it to your OS image.

To add the Ciroots.p7b file to your OS image

  1. Move the Ciroots.p7b file to the FILES folder of the project or platform for your OS design.

  2. Build your OS image.

The Windows Embedded Compact build system automatically picks up the Ciroots.p7b file during the Build Release Directory (Buildrel.bat) and Make Binary Image (Makimg.exe) phases of the build, and replaces the empty Ciroots.p7b file that comes with Windows Embedded Compact 2013.

For information about building an OS, see Design an OS.

After you build and deploy your OS image that now includes the Ciroots.p7b file, your signed applications are ready to run on your device under Security Loader.
