Romimage.exe is a locator application that creates Windows Embedded CE binary image (.bin) files, usually limited to a single file called Nk.bin. This means that Romimage performs the following actions:

  • Reads Ce.bib to determine which %_FLATRELEASEDIR% binaries and files to include in the final run-time image.
  • Assigns physical memory addresses to these binaries and files.
  • Creates the run-time image Nk.bin.

For more information about Ce.bib, see Make Binary Image Tool.

Romimage.exe supports multiple XIP regions; for example, multiple RAMIMAGE sections. To fill these sections, include the names of the files and the address of the section where the file should be placed. To do this, add the section name as a suffix after the file path declaration.

Each specified section generates a separate .bin file. For example, NK generates Nk.bin and XIP2 creates Xip2.bin.

Each .bin file, when loaded into ROM, is a separate XIP region, as shown in the following example.

NK 80200000 00E00000 RAMIMAGE
      XIP2 81010000 000E0000 RAMIMAGE
      RAM 81300000 00D00000 RAM
      player.exe $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\player.exe XIP2 SH
