Windows Automotive 5.0 Features
Windows Automotive 5.0 is built on the Microsoft Windows
CE 5.0 operating system, a hard, real-time, 32-bit, memory-protected operating system kernel with support for a variety of processor architectures. It features:
A Win32 application programming interface (API) subset, including file and memory management, device and service management, threads and process management, and networking stacks.
The Platform Builder and other best-in-class development tools.
Multilanguage support.
The Microsoft Internet Explorer Web Browser for Windows CE (based on Internet Explorer 6), with an OEM-replaceable user interface.
The Microsoft .NET Compact Framework.
Rich multimedia support through the Microsoft DirectShow API, with support for a variety of formats such as Windows Media Audio, MP3, and DVD.
A virtual memory expansion tool that allows DLLs to be loaded in shared memory, removing the previous limit of 32 megabytes (MB). Now, DLLs occupying up to a total of 96 MB can be loaded.
Stability and reliability due to ongoing testing by the Microsoft Automotive Business Unit, ensuring that Windows Automotive 5.0 is truly automotive-grade.
High-performance graphics support through the Microsoft Direct 3D Mobile API, the Microsoft DirectX API, and GDI-Sub.
Windows Automotive 5.0 also features the Automotive User Interface Toolkit (AUITK), a sophisticated graphical user interface framework design tool and compact runtime environment. The AUITK:
Enables designers who are not programmers to develop the user interface at a desktop PC.
Facilitates the development of high-quality user interface "skins" that connect to the core application program.
Eliminates the need to write user interface code in most applications and shortens development time.
