BSP Wizard Overview

Windows CE provides board support packages (BSPs) for several retail hardware reference platforms that represent a range of supported microprocessors. For a list of supported BSPs, see Board Support Packages. To view the sources to any of these samples, see the %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\BSPName directory.

The BSP Wizard is an IDE tool that guides you through the process of creating a BSP based on Windows CE. Depending on your development stage, you can use the BSP Wizard in different ways to help you in different aspects of creating a BSP. However, the BSP Wizard is typically used to generate a .cec file for your BSP, which creates a definition for the BSP in the IDE Catalog. In addition, you can use the BSP Wizard to copy your files to the appropriate location and import your new .cec file into the Catalog.

You can perform the following operations with the BSP Wizard:

If you are creating a new BSP for Windows CE, Platform Builder provides an infrastructure that lets you use a number of common driver libraries, which include microprocessor-specific drivers, support libraries, and device drivers. For more information about creating a new BSP, see How to Create a Board Support Package.
