Re: Incorporating a 3rd party driver into a BSP/Image

Hang on. It's binary files, right? Put it in platform.bib and everything
will go into the \Windows folder (that's the only choice and
non-negotiable). If you need to have the files *copied* from \Windows to
some other location at run-time, you can do that with entries in the
platform.dat file.

As far as 'making it part of my BSP', I'm not sure what that means to you.
You're going to ship this BSP to others for use in creating their own OS
configurations for your hardware? If not, you can put the entries for your
driver into its own catalog item and add/remove them from any OS
configuration, regardless of what BSP it's targeting.

Can we know what WiFi card we're talking about?

I have a .CAB file which installs a WiFi card driver onto the CE device I'm
developing. I've been able to extract out all the binary files, and the
registry changes necessary to get the driver up and running, but I've run
into a problem.

I don't know how to incorporate a binary-only driver into a BSP
(especially
not one with several components which installs itself across
subdirectories
in the \Windows folder)

Even worse, the word from higher-ups says I have to get rid of the CAB
support since it is taking up too much space, so I have to incorporate
this
driver into my image at least, even if it is impossible to make it part of
the BSP.
