After you build a run-time image based on the Tiny Kernel design template, you can verify that the run-time image is intact and accessible from the Target Control window.

To verify that the run-time image based on the Tiny Kernel design template built successfully

  1. From Platform Builder, verify that the CEPC is selected as a target device:

    1. From the Target menu, choose Connectivity Options.
    2. In the Target Connectivity Options dialog box, choose the Kernel Service Map tab, and then choose Ethernet for the Download option.
    3. Choose Settings for the Download option, and then select the CEPC from the Active Devices list. You must restart the CEPC because the run-time image does not download until it receives a BOOTME message from the CEPC. The CEPC sends BOOTME messages for only a short period of time.
    4. Choose OK and verify the same information for the Transport option.
    5. Choose OK.

  2. From the Target menu, select Attach Device.

    The Download Runtime Image to CE Device dialog box appears. Perform one of the following tasks:

    • If the image downloads, UI appears on the CEPC. Proceed with the next step.
    • If the the status bar in this dialog box does not show download progress within a few minutes, restart the CEPC. After the image is downloaded, UI appears on the CEPC.

  3. When the run-time image boots successfully, the following information is displayed in the Windows CE Target Control window:

    Welcome to the Windows CE Shell. Type ? for help.
Windows CE>

  4. Type gi proc at the command line. The gi proc command instructs the CE Shell to display information about the processes currently running on the shell.

    If CE Shell displays information for NK.exe, Filesys.exe, and Shell.exe, the shell booted successfully and you are ready to add Catalog items to the OS design.
