Creating an .sld file for Microsoft Windows XP Embedded Systems

Microsoft Windows XP Embedded* operating systems require the use of an .sld (system level definitions) file. The following steps detail how to create such a file for Intel^® EMGD from your custom iegd.inf file that you created using CED.

1. Run Component Designer.

2. In the File menu, select Import.

3. In the Choose File for Import dialog, select Setup Information files (*.inf). in the File of type drop-down list.

4. Select iegd.inf from installation directory.

5. In the Inf Processing Options dialog, select Automatic in the Parsing Options dialog and click OK.

6. Click Start in the Import File dialog box. Close the dialog on completion. There should not be any errors.

7. If there are no errors, Save the .sld file.

8. Run Component Database Manager and import the .sld file created above.

Note: Multiple versions will be created.

9. To move the binaries, copy the Intel^® EMGD/driver files into the root repository:

\Windows Embedded Data\Repository

10. In Target Designer, all Intel^® EMGD files are found under Hardware\Devices\Display Adapters and can be selected by dragging and dropping into your build.
