Import a Dependencies List into a Custom Module using Module Designer (Standard 8)
7/8/2014
Learn how to import a dependency list into a custom module for Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) by using Module Designer (MOD).
Custom modules, a new feature in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8), allow you to easily and automatically deploy custom software and device drivers to your embedded device. Using Dynamic Dependency Analyzer (DDA), you can analyze your applications to help dynamically determine dependencies, and then output that list into a file that you can import into a custom module in Module Designer (MOD).
Prerequisites
- You have installed Windows Embedded 8 Standard Toolkit (Standard 8 Toolkit) on a development computer.
- You have a dependencies .txt file that DDA created.
To import a dependencies list into a custom module using Module Designer
In Module Designer, open an existing custom module or create a new module, and then click Dependencies in the navigation pane.
Click Import Dependencies List. The Load a Dependency List dialog box appears.
Browse to your dependency .txt file, and then click Open.
In the Dependency Scan Results dialog box, dependencies that were successfully resolved are shown on the Mapped Dependencies tab. To choose which modules to use to fulfill dependencies, select the check box next to each module.
Any dependencies that could not be resolved are shown on the Unmapped Dependencies tab. Review these and resolve them as necessary.
Click OK to add these dependencies to your module.
