Application Transport Services (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

The application transport services allow you to establish a connection between an application running on a development workstation and a target device. eMbedded Visual C++ uses application transport services to connect to a target device.

For information about connecting a development workstation to a target device, see Configuring a Core Connection to a Target Device.

The following transport services are available:

  • Ethernet Kernel Transport
    The Ethernet kernel transport establishes a kernel-level connection to a target device over an Ethernet connection.
    Typically, the Ethernet kernel transport uses the target device you select for the Ethernet download service. If you do not want to use the target device you selected for the Ethernet download service, select a different target device.
  • Serial Kernel Transport
    The serial kernel transport provides a kernel-level connection to a target device over a serial port. In the settings for this kernel transport, you can specify, for example, the communications (COM) port to use and the baud rate for the connection.
  • USB Kernel Transport
    The USB kernel transport provides a kernel-level connection to a target device over USB. You do not need to configure this transport.

OEMs can extend the built-in application transport services with custom transports.
