Memory Layout (Boot Loader) (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

Windows Embedded Compact supports a 4-GB virtual address space. This address space is divided into areas for the boot loader, the OS, and a place to pass information between the boot loader and the OS.

To define this address space, you will need to modify the boot.bib configuration file (which may also be called eboot.bib, for Ethernet boot loaders, or sboot.bib, for serial boot loaders). This boot loader .bib file is typically located in:

  • Platform\<BSP Name>\Src\Bootloader\Eboot
  • Platform\<BSP Name>\Src\Bootloader\Sboot

For a description of the contents of .bib files, see Binary Image Builder (.bib) File.
