u could do two steps:
1. say any project change u could build selected project and then makeimg.
make sure ur WINCEREL=1
2. use command prompt.
set WINCEREL=1---> to make sure that whatever u build is copied to release
directory.
go to the target directory and run build -c
and then do makeimg
for platform.bib etc files..just do the changes and copy paste in ur release

I got a very odd problem on my StrongARM CPU based WinCE 4.1 system. Originally the platform has 32MB RAM and the physical starting address of the RAM is 0xC000000 and it works fine. Later we changed the RAM chip to 64MB one, I have modified the config.bib and OEMAddressTable to reflect the changes, but the image that I build can't startup!

What is the difference between OHCI and UHCI controllers?
In brief:
OHCI is made by Microsoft and emphasizes the fact that hardware should be smart to facilitate the software's task.
UHCI is made by Intel and stupid, in order to facilitate a low gate count.
Bottom line, OHCI has some brains and is actually able to transfer 8kb transfers in one go.

The hive-based registry is our answer to the difficult problem of persisting data on a device which does not power its RAM when turned off. In previous versions of the OS, registry save/restore meant dumping the entire registry to the OEM, a process which is slow and can be difficult to implement due to the unavailability of system calls in the OAL.

The first range is configured in the page tables with the Cacheable and Bufferable bits. Reads and writes for these ranges pass through the StrongARM's 8 Kbyte data cache.
