4. WindowsCE.NET system customization process:
The development process of Windows CE can be roughly divided into:
* The generation of platform NK.BIN is accomplished through the following steps:
(1) OAL, Driver, shell customization;
(2) customization of system modules;
(3) Bootloader customization.
* Application development, completed by the following steps:
(1) The establishment of the SDK's release, installation, and online debugging environment;
(2) Development of intermediate modules;
(3) Development of application interface.
* The product can be generated in two forms (1) The application is distributed separately from NK.bin;
(2) The application is integrated into NK.bin for distribution.
The specific process can be seen in the following figure (Windows CE.NET OS Build Flow):

Lottery industry applications:
Industry Overview With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, and the country's adjustment to the gaming industry's policies, the lottery industry is becoming a fast-growing and highly-focused industry. An emerging technology that integrates IT technology and information and communication technology into one, the computer lottery system came into being. The computer lottery system has a very wide range of applications in welfare lottery, sports lottery, soccer lottery and other fields.
The system's core control equipment, lottery machines, is mainly used to complete lottery sales, data uploads, and acceptance awards. Therefore, there is a high requirement for system stability.
Solution The main task of the lottery vending machine is to sell lottery tickets, print vouchers and complete important data uploads. There are many external control devices.
It is generally necessary to connect printers, scanners, card readers, and customer-side displays. The four serial ports can fully meet the needs. In terms of important data processing, the data is uploaded to the data center through the network; at the same time, the data is backed up locally to the CF card so that in the event of communication failure, the data can be uploaded via the CF card to ensure the successful draw.
In response to user needs, Viva Technology has launched the NOVA-4898+EB2810 integrated system. Successfully applied to the lottery industry, the operating system uses Win CE.NET, and the application program can be developed by users in the VC++ environment.

WindowsCE.NET application in GPS field:
With the development of science and technology, the trend of civilian use of GPS is increasingly expected. As the chip miniaturization technology matures, the GPS chipset has made great breakthroughs in reducing the size or power consumption. In this way, high-tech has taken the GPS into people's lives.
Now that there are websites dedicated to providing electronic map services, users can obtain electronic maps near designated locations simply by entering addresses, intersections, and important landmarks. Even if they match related databases, they can even find restaurants, theaters, and parking lots. Wait for the complete information. Some electronic map service networks, in addition to supporting basic queries, also launch thematic search services, such as querying museums and tourist attractions. Some automobile manufacturers have also developed GPS systems into satellite safety protection systems to protect the owner's personal and property safety. The hidden buttons on the car allow the service center to monitor and alarm, and the functions of the on-board GPS system are simply Instruct the road to be raised to the level of security protection. Weida Power provides a safe and reliable hardware platform for your GPS system, allowing you to easily enjoy the convenient services brought by high technology.
★ GPS positioning principle To locate a car, you need at least three satellites. The speed of the car can be calculated by the data change of three satellites. At this time, the satellite needs to be equipped with a satellite receiving system. The satellite receiving system is usually a satellite receiver. , Car PC, display screen, etc.. Due to the particularity of the use of the environment, the car PC must have certain requirements. For example, the size can not be too large, the car on the space is limited, the system can not be installed too large volume; Practicality is stronger, requires the operation Simple and fast. Currently, more Windows PCs are used in on-board PCs; The reliability is higher. Because the car runs on the road, the vibration is great, and all-weather operation, the on-board PC must be able to adapt to these conditions, and the on-board PC must require scalability. And compatibility is better and other conditions. Therefore, using a series of superior performance products such as WAFER-5825 of Weintech Industrial can solve these problems.
