Flash Drivers Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement a device driver that interfaces to flash memory.
For more information, see Flash Drivers.
For more information about how to add or remove catalog items, see Design Your First OS.
Hardware and Software Requirements
- Requires flash memory on the hardware board.
Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables
The following table describes the catalog items and associated SYSGEN variables you can use to implement a flash driver for your OS.
| Catalog item | SYSGEN variable | Description | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|
Flash MDD |
SYSGEN_FLASHMDD |
Provides a driver that manages flash memory. This catalog item supplies the model device driver (MDD) layer. |
Requires a platform-dependent driver (PDD) layer. |
Intel StrataFlash NOR Driver |
SYSGEN_MSFLASH_STRATAD |
Provides a flash driver for Intel StrataFlash NOR flash memory. |
Requires Intel StrataFlash NOR flash memory on the hardware board. |
Sysgen Variables
The following table describes the catalog items and associated SYSGEN variables you can set to add flash drivers to your OS.
| SYSGEN variable | Description | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|
SYSGEN_MSFLASH_RAMFMD |
Provides a sample flash RAM media driver. |
None. |
SYSGEN_MSFLASH_FASLD |
Provides a storage driver that supports Spansion Flash memory devices on the CEPC x86 standard development board (SDB). |
Requires Spansion Flash memory on the hardware board. |
SYSGEN_MSFLASH_SDNPCID |
Provides a storage driver that supports PCI NAND Flash memory devices on the CEPC x86 SDB. |
Requires PCI NAND Flash memory on the hardware board. |
