Creating a New Package

To create a new package, click the New Package link at the top of the main CED window. The Intel® EMGD Package Page appears.

Description

Package File Name

Enter a name for the package. This is a required field and the name must be between 1 and 50 characters and may contain spaces.

Configurations

This block shows the configurations that are available to be packaged. Each package consists of one or more configurations, each of which is associated with a specific chipset.

 

To select a configuration, click the check box next to the configuration name. You can select all available configurations by clicking Select All located below the Configurations block and clear all configurations by clicking Clear All.

 

The Configuration Name column shows the name of each configuration and the Chipset column shows the chipset associated with each configuration.

 

In the Config ID column, you must enter a configuration ID for each configuration. The configuration ID must be a number between 1 and 15. By default, the Package Editor automatically assigns the next available configuration ID when you select a configuration. You can change the default configuration ID by clicking in the edit box and entering a different value.

Default Configuration

The Default Configuration list box allows you to select a default configuration from the configurations you selected in the Configurations block.

For single configurations the default is the one selected in the previous option. For multiple configurations, the default is the first one selected in the Configurations list. To have no default configuration, select None. See also Universal INF Configuration.

Target OS

This block allows you to select one or more operating systems and Video BIOS for the package. For each target you select, CED produces a configuration file for the selected OS or Video BIOS platform. Please see the following section for settings on the Target OS:
