Research of key technologies in a Windows CE-based monitoring and control system

This paper describes a Windows CE-based intelligent system that integrates control and monitoring in one platform. The overall structure of the system is given and some techniques used inside the customization and transplantation of the Windows CE OS are introduced as well. These key techniques include development and transplantation of device drivers in Windows CE, the realization of preserving registry data when power off, the key points of building a special-purpose OS, and the realization of the bootloader. We have designed a temperature control and monitoring system for a heat furnace based on this embedded platform, and the results demonstrate the benefits of using this control solution.
