XIPSCHAIN (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

XIPSCHAIN enables the creation of Chain.bin and Chain.lst.

  • Chain.bin is a small .bin file in a format understood by boot loaders that describes the location in ROM of all XIP regions.
  • Chain.lst is a text that lists all XIP regions to load. In the file, the kernel is denoted by a plus sign (+). Chain.lst can be used to load all XIP regions into ROM before jumping to the start address. The address following the equal sign (=) is the location of the chain in ROM. It should match the FIXUPVAR that points to the chain location like pdwXIPLoc.

The following code example shows how to use XIPSCHAIN.
