2.1.2 Using Platform Builder
The platform builder can be used to create customized embedded platforms. By default a number of embedded hardware platforms are available which includes embedded platforms for microprocessors like:
a) ARM processors.
b) MIPS processors.
c) SHX processors.
d) IntelX86 processors (Used for debugging the application on desktop environment).
Platform builder is essential for creating customized embedded platforms which are hardware specific and not compatible to the processors mentioned above.
Introduction to the platform builder will help to port the application to some customized embedded platforms in future. The steps to do the customized platform design are specified below:
Platform builder helps the programmer to create customized embedded platforms:
1. Using platform builder with the desktop based Windows CE emulator.
2. Using platform builder with a Windows CE PC based hardware development environment.
3. Creating and adding features to the platform thus made by the platform builder.
