View source for CM-iTC: WES2009: Getting Started

== Overview ==

The [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/bb521700(v=WinEmbedded.51).aspx Windows Embedded Standard 2009] (WES2009) image for [http://www.compulab.co.il/itc/html/itc-cm-datasheet.htm CM-iTC] has most of the features present in a full version of Windows XP Pro. The [http://www.compulab.co.il/itc/download/itc-wes2009-img.zip WES2009 run-time image package for CM-iTC] includes a ready-to-run image which can be installed on a SATA Storage Device.

The image is installed by using a bootable USB Flash Drive (UFD) with [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744322(WS.10).aspx WinPE] and [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744377(WS.10).aspx ImageX] tool.


== General Notes ==

The provided WES2009 image is built as an evaluation copy and therefore it is time limited (expires after 30 days). In order to create a permanent WES2009 image, the license from Microsoft should be purchased and the image should be re-built.


== Preparing the USB Flash Drive with WinPE and WES2009 Image==

# Connect the UFD to your host PC.<br/>'''Important Note:''' The UFD’s capacity must be at least 8GB.
# Format the UFD with NTFS and make it active by using [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ff794606(v=WinEmbedded.1001).aspx Diskpart].
# Unzip the downloaded WES2009 run-time image package.
# Copy the content of the ''WinPE'' and ''WES2009 Image'' folders to the UFD. 
# Disconnect the UFD from your host computer.

== WES2009 Image Deployment ==

# Connect the SATA Storage Device to the SATA 0 connector on the CM-iTC.
# Connect the UFD with WinPE and WES2009 image to the iTC board.<br/>'''Important Note:''' Ensure that no other USB or SATA Storage Device is connected to the CM-iTC.
# Boot the CM-iTC module and enter the BIOS Setup by pressing F2.
# Set the appropriate Date and Time.    
# Go to the “Boot” section and set your USB Flash Drive as the first bootable device.          
# Save the configuration changes and exit BIOS.
# Wait until the WinPE prompt appears.
# Browse to the UFD and run ''deploy.bat'' file for deploying the image.
# The automatic script formats the SATA Storage Device and deploys the WES2009 image.
# Ensure that there is no error message during the installation of the image.
