You can create a software development kit (SDK) for a specific Windows Embedded Compact 2013 target device or product platform. The SDK contains the required application development files for the OS components, board support packages (BSPs), and subprojects that you included in your OS design.

To create a new SDK

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the SDKs folder, and then click Add New SDK.

  2. In the SDK Property Pages dialog box, on the General property page, in the SDK Name box, enter the name for your SDK.

  3. In the Product Name box, enter the product name for this SDK.

  4. In the Product Version boxes, enter the version number for this SDK.

  5. In the Company Name box, enter the name of your company.

  6. In the Company Website box, enter the URL for your company’s website.

  7. (Optional) You can set other properties for your SDK on the Install, License Terms, Readme, CPU Families and Additional Folders property pages.

  8. Click OK.

  9. In Solution Explorer, when you see your SDK appear under SDKs, right-click your SDK, and then click Build.

    The build process can take several minutes. When the build is finished, the path of the SDK installation package appears in the output pane.
