How to Create an Enterprise Web Pad
The Enterprise Web Pad configuration provides a starting point for creating portable devices primarily intended for accessing the Internet. To create an Enterprise Web Pad, you can use the New Platform Wizard that includes a pre-configured option, or you can build a custom platform by selecting the appropriate features for your device.
The New Platform Wizard creates an Enterprise Web Pad image that includes a set of components for a variety of devices. Once you have created your initial Web Pad, you can customize the configuration by adding components from the Platform Builder catalog or by adding customized features, files, or drivers that you develop. For more information about default components for this configuration, see Enterprise Web Pad Features.
Hardware and Software Assumptions
- Your Platform Builder installation includes a CEPC x86 board support package (BSP).
- You have a CEPC already configured. For more information about configuring a CEPC, see How to set up a CEPC and How to Use the IDE to Create, Customize, and Build a Platform.
