What is Windows Embedded Standard?

Componentized version of Windows OSRuns on standard x86 hardwareRuns applications developedfor Windows (Win32/MFC/.NET)Embedded Enabling FeaturesBootable from variety of hardwareHeadless devices & remote managementIntegrates with Microsoft technologies

Embedded Enabling Features

USB & CD BootWrite FiltersImage Cloning and ResealHibernate Once Resume ManyRemote BootDevice Update AgentMinimum Windows Logon (Minlogon)Message Box Default Reply

Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)Protect OS volume through re-direction to overlay

Persistent (Disk Overlay)Requires storage mechanism on device

(hard drive, flash ram, etc.)Allows for multiple overlay levels

Non-persistent (RAM\RAM Reg Overlay)

Redirects disk writes to memoryMultiple Volume SupportCommand line interface and API to manage filter Disk

Overlay 1

Overlay 2

Overlay 3

File Based Write Filter (FBWF)

File system mini filter driver Enables caching of file system in RAM

Benefits:File system protection on file levelWrite-through by means of exclusion listBetter optimizes memory usage over EWFCommand line interface to manage filter (enable, disable, commit data)Full support for NTFS (encryption, compression) on write-through filesAllows for better servicing scenarios than EWF

Hibernate Once Resume Many (HORM)

Enables the OS state to be preserved across multiple reboots, in hiberfile.sysEnables faster boot time, for “instant-on” experienceWorks with Enhanced Write Filter, as state of OS protected by EWF does not change

USB Boot

WES Boot from USB Flash Device.Run utility to make UFD bootable. Hardware considerations

Device minimum write speed of 11MB/sHi-speed USB 2.0 logo for UFDBIOS must support USB 2.0 boot

Why do USB boot?No HDD means fewer moving partsUFDs are becoming cheaperPractical alternative to Compact Flash
