Generally, the kernel and drivers are built into a ROM file and can't be
separately updated. You need to start at a more basic level and figure out
what you want to update and whether it's possible to do it, then figure out
the mechanism.

Hello,

we had investigated that thing some 1.5 years ago and also looked at
pre-requisites and then skills needed to have that whole thing working. It
would be useless to have just your platform supporting device management
with no skilled personnel to manage them at customer site or for a customer.

And yes, this feature is intended, imho, for tuning existing software on the
device, perhaps updating customer apps, but not to replace/delete/add
components to Windows CE5 itself. So for applications, which run on top of
Windows CE5, and are not a part of the nk.bin, your might find that tool
useful.

Thanks for your comments. We will develop a board, where the final
customer will have the possibility to add custom drivers (USB
printer, ...) if he can get some. So this device mangement client
solution might be interesting to deploy a driver on several devices. I
looked for the price, and this seems to be huge (about 280$ the
license for 5 devices !!!).
