Setting Up Windows XP Embedded OS and Installing Drivers
=========================================================
Please refer to the document "eXP-README.DOC" in the eXP folder for directions on creating a Windows
Embedded XP OS image using the included image configuration file.
Enabling USB functionality on Windows 2000 Operating Systems
==============================================================
To enable the USB to function properly, download the USB 2.0 Microsoft drivers. This can be done through device manager by updating the driver of the “USB Controller” device and using the “Windows Update” driver search option. Details from Microsoft regarding USB 2.0 support can be found at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319973
Enabling LBA48 support on Windows 2000 Operating Systems
==========================================================
To enable Windows 2000 to correctly recognize hard disks larger than 128 GB, an entry must be added to the Windows registry. To do this:
1. Run the program “Regedt32.exe”.
2. Locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters
3. Add a new value with the following info:
Value name: EnableBigLba
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0x1
4. Reboot the system.

Validation
------------
Once all driver steps are completed, open the Control Panel and use the system Device Manager utility to verify that there are no unknown devices listed.
Software Errata
================
The following is a list of unresolved errata with the WDT (Watchdog Timer).
Errata # 1
The WDT is missing the PCI interrupt pin and line registers and is therefore unable to use standard drivers PCI enumerated/resource allocation routines to assigne IRQ resources to the driver. The Window WDT driver (wdtdrvr.sys) has a software workaround that enables PCI IRQ functionality by programmatically assigning the IRQ resources after the driver initializes.
