 A version of the Windows operating system designed for small devices such as
PDAs or Handheld PCs (Embedded Devices). The Windows CE graphical user
interface (GUI) is very similar to Windows 95.
 First Release was in 1985 by Microsoft.
 Latest Version is Windows CE 8.0
Introduction:

4. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
 Minimum Footprint:
 4 MB ROM, 2 MB RAM, MIPS 300 Architecture
 1 MB Ram can also be sufficient in some case.
 Some version of Windows CE is supported by some
specific platform with some new feature.
Like: Windows CE 3.0 is only available for ARM CPUs. As
new feature the Bluetooth support was introduced.

Supporting Windows CE:

6. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Visually Rich: Deliver immersive experiences through
multi-gesture touch interfaces and context-aware
applications that are eye-catching and intuitive.
Easy To develop: Deploy device peripherals that are plug-n-
play, update peripherals more easily, and decrease support
costs through streamlined integration with an open device
driver architecture based on industry standards.
Mayank Garg Slide 6
Top Level Features:

7. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Targeted and consistent: Provide a consistent user
experience with advanced lockdown features; the full
Windows platform provides a consistent and predictable
development experience, and a high degree of application
compatibility.
Secure and Reliable: Protect the integrity of the device by
securing and encrypting hardware, supporting a range of
antimalware solutions, and ensuring the device restarts
and acts the same way every time.

Different State of Tasks:

10. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
 Real Time deterministic task scheduling.
 Priority Based  Priority Inversion scheduling
 RM scheduling
 Guaranteed upper bounds on (high-priority thread
scheduling/delay in scheduling high-priority interrupt
service routines)
 RR scheduling can also work
Mayank Garg Slide 10
Scheduling Algorithms supported by Windows CE:

11. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
 Can choose pre-emptable or non pre-emptable.
 Increased number of thread priority levels from 8 to 256.
 More control over times and scheduling. Applications can control the
amount of time provided to each thread and manipulate the scheduler to
their advantage. Timer accuracy is now one millisecond for Sleep- and
Wait-related application programming interfaces (APIs).
 Improved method for handling priority inversion.
 Full support for nested interrupts.
 Reduced ISR and interrupt service thread (IST) latencies.
Mayank Garg Slide 11
Customized scheduling Algo’s:

12. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Windows CE is a highly customizable operating system. OEMs can pick and choose features
or add new ones to their devices as per the requirements.
For e.g.
1. One Windows CE device can be a handheld with a display and a keyboard and
another one can be a headless device without any display or keyboard.
2. Adding support for the .NET Compact Framework, or removing support for the
HTTP Web Server – The platform development tool also gives you the ability to add your
own custom applications and drivers.
In order to customize it you have the option to exclude various resources from it.
You can exclude the following from a configuration:
Files
Shortcuts
Registry values
File associations
Mayank Garg Slide 12
Flexibility to Add New Features:

13. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
A typical interrupt handling sequence includes the following steps:
1) The hardware raises an interrupt.
2) The kernel looks up the interrupt request (IRQ) of the interrupt, calls the registered ISR, and disables all
lower-priority interrupts.
3) The ISR performs any necessary handling, and then returns an interrupt identifier.
4) If the interrupt identifier value returned by the ISR is SYSINTR_NOP, the kernel completes processing
without setting an event — all interrupts are enabled — and continues performing any tasks in process
before the interrupt occurred.Otherwise, the kernel sets the event you have associated with the interrupt
identifier. When the ISR returns, the kernel enables all other interrupts except the one that is being
processed.
5) The kernel schedules the IST indicated by the interrupt identifier to run.The IST can use driver resources to
get or send data and control codes to the hardware and to acknowledge the hardware interrupt.
6) After completely servicing the interrupt, the IST calls the IntrupptDone function. In
turn, InterruptDone calls the OEMIntrupptDone. OAL interface function to perform any hardware actions
necessary to enable the next interrupt of the target device.

So
What is difference between Windows 7/8 and Windows
CE???
What is Windows Mobile??
Is it different from Windows CE??
Mayank Garg Slide 25

26. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Difference between Windows Mobile and Windows CE:
Windows Mobile is built on top of Windows CE kernel and
subsystems. It is targeted at handheld devices with
specific hardware and software features. OEMs are
required to following strict guidelines (software and
hardware) for developing their devices.

I have studied about Windows Ce and Embedded Operating
systems.
I have analysed that each of these have some specific quality.
Like windows CE is providing very good GUI interface along
with high level of security and reliability.
While each have some limitation also.
For using Windows CE, we have to pay, Unlike Linux.
