KITL Bootstrap (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

The kernel independent transport layer (KITL) bootstrap startup server uses the Windows Embedded Compact Target Control service shell to download and open a file on a device. For more information about the service, see Target Control Debugging.

By default, the KITL bootstrap startup server uses the flat release directory on the development computer for the transfer of files to the target device. After you establish a Connectivity Manager connection to a device, the device recognizes the flat release directory on the development computer as a virtual file system.

The default location of the release directory for your development computer is %PBWORKSPACEROOT%\OSDesigns\<Your OS>\<Your OS>\RelDir.

To connect to a device with the KITL bootstrap startup server, KITL must be available and enabled on the device.
