Ethernet Boot Loader (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

The Ethernet boot loaders provided by Microsoft are typically made up of BLCOMMON, Eboot, and network drivers. The code implemented by OEMs also makes up part of the boot loaders. The following illustration shows the architecture of a typical Ethernet boot loader.

The BLCOMMON, Eboot, and network drivers are code libraries designed to be reusable and portable. They implement common boot loader functionality and make development of new boot loaders easier.

Samples of code implemented by OEMs are provided for board support packages (BSPs) that ship with Windows Embedded CE 6.0. You must customize the sample codes for the hardware platform.
