By configuring your run-time image to support a flash media device, you enable your operating system to input and output data to flash media.

To complete this procedure, you must develop a flash media driver (FMD) for your device and add support for that driver to your run-time image.

Once your have configured your run-time image to include your FMD, you can then build your run-time image to support your flash media device.

Steps

Step Topic

1. Develop an FMD for your flash media device.

2. In the Platform.reg file for your run-time image, set the appropriate registry information for your FMD.

The following code example shows registry information for a run-time image that supports an FMD.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\<your driver name>]
  Dll="<your dll name>"
  Prefix="DSK"
  \\you can also include settings specific to your driver

3. To have Filesys.dll automatically load your FMD, set the appropriate registry information in the Platform.reg file for your run-time image.

The following code example shows registry information for a run-time image that automatically loads an FMD block driver.

{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\<your driver name>]
  DriverPath=drivers\builtin\<your driver name>
  LoadFlags=dword:2
  BootPhase=2
  Order=0

The LoadFlags value can be set to 0, 1, or 2. A value of 1 indicates synchronous loading, a value of 2 indicates Asynchronous loading, while 0 is the default value and indicates Asynchronous loading.

The BootPhase value can be set to 0, 1, or 2. A value of 0 indicates that the FMD is loaded prior to the initialization of the locale. A value of 1 indicates that it is loaded prior to the mounting of a user-hive. A value of 2 indicates that it is loaded after the mounting of a user-hive.

4. Build your run-time image.

If your run-time image builds with no errors, you have successfully configured your run-time image to support a flash media device.
