The OEM Adaptation Layer
Layer
between the kernel and the H/W
Coded
by OEMs to adapt Win CE to their own
platforms
Linked
with processor-independent code provided
by MS to build the kernel
Set
of functions related to system startup, interrupt
handling, power management, profiling, timer, and
clock

Board Support Packages
The following table shows the elements that are contained in a
board support package (BSP).
Element
Description
Boot loader
During development, downloads the
operating system (OS) images.
OEM adaptation
layer (OAL)
Links to the kernel image and supports
hardware initialization and management.
Device drivers
Support peripherals on-board or are
attached at run time.
Configuration files Once created, a BSP can be reconfigured
through environment variables and .bib
and .reg file modifications.

Windows CE Boot Loaders
The boot loader is a utility that is an integral part of the OEM
device development process and, in some cases, the boot loader
is also included in the final OEM product. The general purpose of
the boot loader is to place the OS image into memory and then
jump to the OS startup routine. The boot loader can obtain the OS
image in a number of different ways, including loading it over a
cabled connection, such as Ethernet, universal serial bus (USB),
or serial. The boot loader also loads the OS from a local storage
device, such as Compact Flash, or hard disk. The boot loader may
store the OS image in RAM or in nonvolatile storage, such as
flash memory, electrically erasable programmable read only
memory (EEPROM), or some other storage device for later use.
