Customize the OS Design – Configuration Manager
Using the configuration manager, the OS design can be configured to generate an OS runtime image
in debug or release mode. A debug mode image will provide more detailed debug messages when
the OS image loads and executes applications and modules. The size of an OS image built in debug
mode is generally about 50% larger than an OS image built in release mode, from the same OS
design project. An OS image built in release mode, with KITL enabled, provides sufficient debug
information to support most of the general application development environment. For the purpose
of this guide, we will configure the OS design to generate the OS runtime image in release mode.
From the VS2005 IDE, select
Build | Configuration Manager…
to bring up the Configuration
Manager screen, as shown in Figure 19.

From the
Active solution configuration
selection options, select
ICOP_VDX6326_60B x86 Release
and click the Close button to configure the OS design to generate a release mode image.
Note:
An OS image built in debug mode provides more detailed debug information during the OS startup
and when application and module are launched. To generate an OS image in debug mode, repeat
this step and select the “ICOP_VDX6326_60B x86 Debug” option, and continue to generate the OS
image.
Customize the OS Design – Build Options
The OS design can be further customized by editing the project’s build options.
From the VS2005 IDE, select
Project | MyWinCE Properties…
to bring up the
