Custom Transport Creation (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

You can create a custom transport for Platform Manager. To create a custom transport, you must first create the files for the transport. For information about creating the files for a custom transport, see Creating Custom Transport Files.

You can use the Transport API to design your transport. The Transport API contains functions and interfaces that are required to create the desktop side and the device side of the transport for Platform Manager. For more information, see Transport API.

After you write the code for your transport, you can build the files for the development workstation and the target device that are associated with the transport. For more information, see Building the Desktop-Side and the Device-Side File.

After you have developed and built a custom transport, you can add the device side of the transport to the run-time image for your target device and add the desktop side of the transport to the software development kit (SDK). For more information about how to create and add a custom transport, see Custom Transport Layer Additions to an SDK.

Note   Core Connectivity replaces Platform Manager and provides a connectivity infrastructure that is similar to the infrastructure that Platform Manager provides. Use the Core Connectivity API. Do not use the Platform Manager API except in existing code that does not need to be compatible with future releases of Windows CE. For more information about Core Connectivity, see Core Connectivity Infrastructure.
