  • Shared Source Code in Windows Embedded CE 6.0

    NetConsulate Article on Windows Embedded CE 

    Shared Source Code in Windows Embedded CE 6.0

     Author: Sanjaykumar Buragute. ,  NetConsulate Software Private Limited. 

    web: www.netconsulate.com   |   www.embeddeduniversity.com   |   www.embeddedcommunity.org

    Abstract

     Understanding and using shared source code is important for development of better Windows Embedded CE 6.0 based devices in less time. Microsoft provides over 3.9 million lines of source code for Windows Embedded CE 6.0. This article gives overview of Source code availability in Windows Embedded CE 6.0

    Introduction

    Access to source code is crucial for development of embedded systems. Many embedded developers are aware that Open Source Embedded operating systems like Embedded Linux provides access to it source code. For the benefit of embedded developers, Microsoft also has been providing source code for Windows Embedded CE since Windows CE 3.0 ( Year 2001).  With release of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 in year November 2007, Microsoft has made available 3.9 Million lines of Source code under different source code access programs.  Shared Source Vs. Open Source

    Microsoft uses term-shared source than open source. It indicates that source code is owned by Microsoft and is shared with you.With Open source code access available with open source RTOS like embedded Linux you are allowed to access source code, you can change source code but you must give changed source code back to community. So source code of Intellectual property developed using open source has to be given back to community. This is what your management may not like. But with Microsoft’ shared source access when you develop software by modifying shared source of windows embedded CE you need not give it back to the community or even Microsoft ! So your intellectual property rights and confidentiality is preserved.

    Advantage of Source code Access for Embedded Developers.
    •  You can develop better devices:

    Developers who need to differentiate their device software from other similar devices in the market and wants to give best look n feel to the device that matches particular device category. For example if you are developing internet appliance type device whose purpose is solely to browse internet, then in that case instead of using standard internet explorer, you can modify internet explorer browser and develop your own browser with new look n feel and use new browser as a shell in your device. You may also want to my modify some operating system components so that your device is optimized for intended application.

    •  You can better Debug your device

    Having access to source code , you understand working and internals of operating system and you can step though the Microsoft source code to better debug you device and application.

    •  Reduce  development Time

    Using source Code you can actually reduce time to develop your device. For example by jump starting with source code of driver which closely matches your device type you can reduce development by leveraging existing code.

     Embedded developers need access and rights to use source code to develop successful devices in less time. By studying source code developers can understand how particular module in operating system works internally and fine-tune his/her own source code. This understanding of how system works inside help in troubleshooting windows embedded CE 6.0 device.

    Shared Source Programs

     Currently shared source code for windows embedded CE is available under two programs

    •     In the Box shared Source Code
    • Premium shared source code
     

    In the Box Source Code

     The “In the Box” Shared Source code is available to any developer using the licensed version of Windows Embedded CE whether they use the evaluation copy of the software or the full packaged product. The source code available “In the Box” covers code sample code like drivers but also “Private” Shared Source code such as the kernel, the device manager and much more.
    • You can Reference, Debug, Modify and Share the In the Box source code.
    developers can look at the Shared Source code for their reference, which means that they can see exactly how a component works. This can help them get a deeper understanding of Windows Embedded CE and its inner design.
    • developers can debug their devices and applications all the way down to the Shared OS code. With Shared Source, the OS is no longer a black box and they can dive into it to better troubleshoot the device.
    • Developers can edit and modify Windows Embedded CE Source code. You can modify it to tailor a component to a specific device’s use but they can also innovate on top of the existing code and add new functionalities. customers can redistribute their commercial derivatives with their device and they can do so without having to give it back to the community.
    • If you decide to do so,you can share their code modifications with customers, partners or/and other developers under the specific requirements of the license granted.
     Premium Shared Source The Premium Shared Source program is available to qualified OEMs and Partners in eligible countries. It covers the Premium source code which is different than the Shared Source code available in the box. The premium shared source code includes more Windows Embedded CE components such as the Networking stack. The Premium Shared Source program has two different licenses:
    • The Premium Derivatives license and
    • The Premium Redistribution license.
     With the Premium Derivatives program, licensees can use the code for Reference and Debugging as defined before.  And with the Premium Redistribution program, licensees can use the code for Reference, Debugging and Modifications.

    Premium shared program is available in the 34 countries

    The partners eligible for the programs are • OEMs the purchased over 5k > run-time licenses in 12 months • Windows Embedded Gold System Integrators. • Premier Joint Development Partners • Silicon Vendor Partners with a certified BSP for Windows CE • Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals  Premium Derivatives Details: Unlike the “In the Box” Shared Source code, the Premium Shared Source code, is available to eligible customers and partners via Microsoft Code Center Premium (CCP). Code Center Premium is a Microsoft’s secure web-based repository that enables access to the Windows Embedded CE Premium Source code from any location. The service provides just-in-time access and the ability to browse, search, reference and download Windows CE Premium Shared Source code through a smart-card-based, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection  Premium Redistribution Details The access via Code Center Premium is the same as the Premium Derivatives program.  As mentioned before, the rights granted are: Document, Debug and Modify In addition to creating derivatives for debugging purposes, licensees can create and redistribute commercial derivatives.
