3. Mobile Panel with Windows XP Embedded
3.1 General Information
Windows XP Embedded is the most modularized version of the Windows XP Professional
desktop operating system and makes it possible to quickly develop reliable and advanced
embedded devices. Windows XP Embedded is based on the same binary files as Windows XP
Professional and is optimally tailored to the hardware being used. In other words, only the
functions and modules which are required by the respective device are included. Windows XP
Embedded is also based on the same reliable code as Windows XP Professional. It provides
industry with leading reliability, improvements in security and performance, and the latest
technology for Web browsing and extensive device support.
The Windows XP Embedded version available from B&R has been developed for Mobile Panel
BIOS devices and is only available with a Mobile Panel BIOS device.
3.2 Requirements
The Mobile Panel device must meet the following criteria to run the Windows XP Embedded
operating system.
• Mobile Panel device with BIOS
• At least 128 MB RAM
3.3 Installation Procedures
Windows XP Embedded is usually preinstalled at B&R Austria on a suitable Compact Flash card
(256 MB). The Mobile Panel device is then automatically configured after it has been switched
on for the first time. This procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, and the device will be
rebooted a number of times.
A short guide to creating individual Windows XP Embedded images and a suitable Target
Designer export file for Mobile Panel BIOS devices can be found on the HMI Drivers & Utilities
CD-ROM (model number 5S0000.01-090 for version 1.49 or higher) or directly downloaded from
