3 Windows Embedded Windows Embedded Standard 7 Changes from WES 2009 Building Blocks Embedded Enabling Features Image Building, Deployment, and Servicing Q&A

4 Windows Embedded Standard 7 What is Windows Embedded?

5 A specialised products portfolio, With an adapted licensing, Supported by a specialized partner ecosystem Distributors System Integrators (SI s) Independent Software Vendors (ISV s) Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV s) The Embedded Device is defined as Single purposed, dedicated Hardware + Operating System + Application

6

7 Windows Embedded Products 32-bit, real-time, Very small footprint, multitasking OS Runs on x86, ARM, MIPS and SH4 32/64 bit, componentized version of Windows XP Pro/Win7, x86/x64 Embedded license use of Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista, Windows 7 desktop OS Built on Windows Embedded Standard for the POS market Embedded license use of Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008

8 Windows Embedded Standard 7 What is Windows Embedded Standard 7?

9 The next generation of Windows Embedded Standard operating systems Leverage the latest technologies of Windows 7 Toolset enables OEMs to build devices with highly customized Windows 7 based operating systems Modularized Windows 7 features Localizable for many markets Full Win32 API and.net application compatibility With Embedded Enabling Features (EEFs) Write Filters (EWF & FBWF) boot from read-only media USB Boot Custom Shell Headless Operation error message capture No Activation

10 Modularized not Componentized Less granularity (~700 packages) Smallest deployable image 520 MB (Embedded Core) Typical Image size 1 GB All Image creation uses a running target device New Windows 7 Client technologies Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) support 32-bit and 64-bit processor support

11 Target Designer replaced with Image Configuration Editor (ICE) Component Database / Repositories replaced by Distribution Shares FBA replaced with Windows Setup and Image Builder Engine No Custom Components and no Component Designer

12 Target the Next-Generation Devices Use the latest Rich Interactive User Experience Graphics Performance Enhancements Smart Power Management Improved Security and Reliability of Win7 32-bit and 64-bit Support Enhanced Networking Capabilities Increased Interoperability and Compatibility with Server Infrastructure 12 Microsoft Confidential

19 Windows Embedded Standard 7 Embedded Enabling Features

20 When you use "regular" OS versions Zurich Airport Cinema Neufahrn, Munich 020

21 Without auto reboot 021

22 Without message box interception 022

23 It can become a big issue!!!

24 and can cause image problems! (not only for Microsoft) 024

25 This is not the type of publicity you want! Live Concert!

26 Create a reliable and customized device experience Registry Filter and Write Filters USB Boot & Hibernate Once Resume Many (HORM) Custom Shell & OEM Branding Message Blockers (Dialog filter/suppression and Message Box Auto Reply) 26

27 Enables building Reliable Embedded Systems Protects Disks against Write Operations Enables Stateless Device Scenarios Minimizes Flash Wear Allows Boot from Read-Only Media Protect Systems against Sudden Power Loss Improves Boot Time through HORM 27

28 Read Data (On-disk) Application Write Data (Overlay) Read Data (overlay) Read/Write Overlay Protected Volume Volume 28

29 Composite File System Directory A* Directory B Directory C File 1 File 3 Write Filter Cache Directory A* Directory C File 2 File 3 Modified Directory New Directory Deleted File New File Protected Volume Directory A Directory B File 1 File 2 29 Microsoft Confidential

30 Functionality EWF FBWF Overlay RAM RAM Write Through Capability None File and Folder Write Through Commit Commit whole overlay File Commit Only HORM Yes No NTFS Support Full, plus FAT Subset Relative Protection Memory Utilization Optimization Higher Protection (Lower in I/O stack) No Less Protection (Higher in I/O stack) Yes (can free memory when files are deleted) Configuration Limited Runtime Config Full Runtime Config 30

31 31 Features Persists Registry Keys for systems protected by Write Filters Limited Scope Supported scenarios TSCAL licenses and Machine Domain Account Secret Persists keys in System (HKLM) hive only Not to support changing configuration with writer filters Works with both EWF and FBWF

32 Combination of EWF and Hibernation Reboot every time from the same hiberfil.sys Significant Boot Time Improvement Limitations: EWF RAM or RAM-REG only on the boot partition All mounted partitions must be EWF protected Unprotected volumes must be dismounted 32

33 Enables support for booting Windows from Removable USB Mass Storage devices Designed to work with Write Filters (EWF & FBWF) Does not support: paging crash dumps hibernate 33

34 Allows developers to create a custom branded Embedded OS from boot to shutdown The image shows no sign of windows during normal operation 34

35 Startup Screen Branding Logon Custom Shell Shell Launcher Message Blockers 35

36 Two Components Unbranded Startup Screens This component removes the windows branding from the startup screen. Custom Logon Desktop Background Images This component allows you to replace the startup screen background image. 36

37

38 Two Components Command Shell & Shell Launcher These allow you to set your custom application as the default shell while retaining the run key functionality. 38

39 Two Components Message Box Default Reply This component will block all messageboxes by applying its default response. Note: Not supported on 64bit systems. Dialog Filter This is a configurable component capable of hiding all windows. 39

40 Windows Embedded Standard 7 How to Build

41 Two ways to build : 1. Wizard Experience Image Builder Wizard (IBW) Installs a Standard 7 image on the target device interactively Suitable for fast prototyping and product evaluation 2. Advanced Experience Image Configuration Editor (ICE) Advanced embedded development scenarios OEM customizations

42 Build an image interactively Bootable media with WinPE Image Builder Wizard IBW Distribution Share Target Device boots into WinPE Runs IBW Select drivers, features, languages Logon Install custom software Sysprep, ImageX DISM Generalize master image using Sysprep Capture image into WIM using ImageX Deploy WIM 1 2 3

43 Build a complete custom image Image Configuration Editor (ICE) on Development PC Unattend.xml Features Drivers Languages OS updates Custom SW SMI settings Using ICE create image configuration unattend.xml Create Bootable Media with: WinPE, IBW with specific DS, Unattend.xml Master device Device boots into WinPE.. And Runs IBW with unattend.xml Sysprep, ImageX DISM Generalize image using Sysprep Capture image into WIM using ImageX Deploy WIM

44 Configure an image From scratch (tick box selections) Based on a template Deploy an image Using a preconfigured answer file from ICE Using a captured WIM

45 45

46 46

47 Automate Image Builder Wizard dialogs Add Features and packages as in IBW Configure Image Settings Script installation of 3 rd party applications Perform Dependency Analysis Merge, Import, and Export Templates Create Deployment Media Create answer files for system settings e.g.. OOBE, Sysprep, logon

48 ICE can create Media creation disks IBW Disk with Full Distribution Share Regenerates the IBW Disk using a specified distribution share (the whole DS) WinPE Disk Bootable light weight OS Utility disk containing TAP, Diskpart, and ImageX IBW Disk from Answer File Creates an IBW Disk and a configuration set of a specific image for easy deployment (part of the DS only)

50 Windows Embedded Standard 7 Deployment and Servicing

51 Embedded OS on Platform Use Sysprep to generalize (clone) the image Use ImageX or Image Builder Engine to install/ deploy Image Online/ Run-time Customizations Use ImageX to capture image to a WIM file

52

53 Main Types of Device Servicing: Manual servicing (Deployment Image System Management (DISM) Online and Offline, windows update standalone installer) Automatic Servicing (WSUS, automatic updates) Servicing through Management (Config Manager, Ops Manager, 3rd Party) Windows Update 53

54 54

55 Build devices with a custom Windows-based operating system Delivers the power of Windows 7 in a componentized and customizable form Features specific to Embedded Scenarios (Embedded Enabling Features) Localizable for many markets Win32 and.net application compatibility Large developer and partner community Enterprise server and tools integration Off-the-shelf hardware and drivers (x86 and x64) Sample device types: Kiosks, thin clients, point of service, automation, gaming, medical imaging, DVR, headless devices
