How to Create a Run-Time Image with Multiple XIP Regions (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

Windows CE allows you to create multiple execute in place (XIP) regions in one single run-time image. XIP regions are areas where an application can execute code directly from read-only memory (ROM) rather than having to load it from random access memory (RAM).

With a multi-region run-time image, you have finer control over the run-time image layout, you can control region updates, and you can decide on a per-region basis how the OS will access that region when it pages its parts at run time.
