Creating a WPA-enabled Wireless Run-time Image for a CEPC (Windows CE 5.0)

  • Article

After typing the IP address for your WPA-enabled access point in the Web browser address bar, the configuration page appears in the Web browser window. You are now ready to configure your access point

To create a wireless run-time image for a CEPC

  1. On the development workstation, open Platform Builder, and then complete the New Platform Wizard. The following list shows the choices to make in the New Platform Wizard:

    1. Type CETEST in the Name field.
    2. Choose the CEPC: X86 BSP.
    3. Choose the Enterprise Web Pad design template.
    4. On the Applications & Media page, choose Next.
    5. On the Networking & Communications page, under the Local Area Network (LAN) node, select the Wireless Local Area Network (802.11) and Wired Local Area Network Catalog items, and then choose Next.
    6. Read the security warnings, and then choose Next.
    7. On the Completing the New Platform Wizard page, choose Finish.

  2. In the Workspace window of your OS design, verify that the following Catalog items appear.

    Catalog item Environment variable Location in Catalog
    Wireless LAN (802.11) STA - Automatic Configuration and 802.1x SYSGEN_ETH_80211 Communication Services and Networking\Networking - Local Area Network (LAN)
    Network Utilities (IpConfig, Ping, Route) SYSGEN_NETUTILS Communication Services and Networking\Networking Features
    Extensible Authentication Protocol SYSGEN_EAP Communication Services and Networking\Networking Features
    NTLM SYSGEN_AUTH_NTLM Security\Authentication Services (SSPI)
    Schannel (SSL/TLS) SYSGEN_AUTH_SCHANNEL Security\Authentication Services (SSPI)
    Microsoft Certificate Enrollment Tool Sample SYSGEN_ENROLL Security
    Windows Internet Services SYSGEN_WININET Internet Client Services\Internet Explorer 6 for Windows CE Components
    CISCO Aironet 340/350 PCMCIA WLAN Card BSP_NIC_PCX500_PCMCIA Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices
    Intersil Prism2 WLAN PCMCIA Driver BSP_NIC_ISLP2NDS_PCMCIA Device Drivers\Networking\Local Area Networking (LAN) devices

    If one of these Catalog items is missing from the Workspace window, locate the item in the Catalog and drag it to the Workspace window.

    For information about creating a new OS design, see Creating an OS Design.

    Note   The following WPA-enabled wireless LAN adapters work with the Intersil Prism2 WLAN PCMCIA Driver:

    Name Model
    Microsoft® 802.11b Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520
    Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card WPC11 ver.3
    Note   Version 4 does not work with this driver.

  3. To copy the certificate enrollment tool, Enroll.exe, to your CEPC when you download the image, you must edit the Project.bib file in your OS design. The following list shows the changes to make:

    1. In the Workspace window, on the ParameterView tab, open the project-specific directory for your OS design.
    2. Add the following statement to the FILES section in the project.bib file: 
      enroll.exe     $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\enroll.exe          NK

    Note   You can also edit the Project.bib file manually by navigating to the %_WINCEROOT%\PbWorkspaces\<OS Design Name>\WINCE500\CEPC_x86\Oak\Files directory in Windows Explorer, and opening the file from there. Be sure to save the file before you close it.

  4. To build the CEPCTEST run-time image, from the BuildOSmenu, choose Sysgen. Make sure that the Copy Files to Release Directory After Build and Make Run-Time Image After Build options are checked on the Build OS menu.

    The time required to build the operating system (OS) depends on the number of Catalog items included in the OS design. You can observe the build process on the Build tab and by looking at the status icon at the lower right of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

  5. Configure a connection from PBHOST to the CEPC. For more information about configuring this connection, see Configuring a Connection for Downloading and Debugging.

  6. If you have not previously created a Boot Floppy Disk for the CEPC, do so now. For more information, see Creating a Boot Floppy Disk for an x86 SDB.

  7. To download the OS image to the CEPC, from the Target menu, choose Attach Device.

    If the download does not start within a few minutes, restart the CEPC. After the download is complete, the user interface (UI) of the platform you just created appears on the CEPC.
