Hi all

I am new to the platform builder. When i do Sysgen it will create both
Nk.nb0 and Nk.bin. I am always using Nk.nb0 as OS image file.
My question is :
What is the difference between Nk.nb0 and Nk.bin.
Thank you

nk.nb0 can be writen raw to ROM, while nk.bin must be processed first.

If you are using your own Bootloader (not the standard WinCE bootloader
'eboot') you have to port part of the features of eboot to your code.

Basically you have to parse nk.bin in chunks. Each chunk has CRC information
and the address in RAM where it should be placed. (nk.bin is not really
compressed, just packed)



You have good information within PB help. The eboot code
(Wince500\platoform\xxx\bootloader) is also a good reference.



We have sometimes used a reduced version of eboot as an extension of our own
bootloaders to have better relationship with PB.



regards,
