Re: D945GTP Components trouble

Regarding the Repository questions:
The MSDN link you mentioned regarding componentizing drivers covers the
repository creation process that appears you may have missed. In that step
by step doc the repository is created in Step 4. Basically you create a
repository object in the SLD, point that rep object to a folder on your dev
machine (ocated near your SLD), associate the components with that rep
object, place all your driver files into the rep folder you created.

So to recap:
- create a folder and place all the driver files in it
- create a rep object in the SLD
- link the component objects to the rep object following the instructions in
Step 4 in that MSDN doc
- Now when you import the component the rep folder will be copied to the rep
root with the windows rep folders you listed, so then you'd have 5 folders
(4 for windows and 1 for each component repository you import).

This series of blog articles walks through the end to end process to
componentize an app and also covers the rep stuff:

I've successfully created a target image with custom components once,
so I thought I knew what I was doing, but now I'm stuck with several
problems making components for this Intel D945GTP board.

The first issue is the display driver for the 82945G. I'm doing an INF
import to Component Designer and it appears to go ok, but with these
warnings:

Warning:C:\Windows Embedded Data\Repositories\Intel82945G\ialmnt5.inf:
[DelFiles] needs to be processed by the user.
+++ CRITICAL ERROR +++:An error occurred when trying to add a registry
resource HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\INTEL\.

[Rotation.AddReg] is Empty.
Info:Completed processing file [Import succeeded] : C:\Windows
Embedded Data\Repositories\Intel82945G\ialmnt5.inf
The component goes into the database just fine, but then when I add it
in Target Designer I get errors that the repository can't be found:

Warning 1121: Can not find the resource iAlmCoIn.dll for Intel(R)
82945G Express Chipset Family
Warning 1121: in the following search path:

Warning 1121: The estimated configuration size may not be accurate.

This same warning text is repeated for every file in the component.
I'm going step by step through the instructions linked from this MSDN
page:

Any suggestions on where I may have gone wrong in this process?

Thanks-
