Hive Registry setup

Hi all,

Does anybody know how to make hive registry setup to SD/MMC for WinCE 7.0 in i.MX53 platform? I have used below method but it is giving exceptions.

; @CESYSGEN IF CE_MODULES_SDBUS

; HIVE BOOT SECTION

"MaximumClockFrequency"=dword:3197500 ; 52 MHz max clock speed
;"WakeupSource"=dword:1 ; this will enable system wakeup when card is inserted or removed during suspend state
ENDIF BSP_ESDHC1

Thanks for your reply. But still I am not able to do Hive registry settings for SD/MMC. The link explains only about the doing Hive registry for MMC. Please let me know if you have any idea to do the same for SD card.

remove mmc part, and remember hive boot section imx53 sd part.

Thanks oobin for your response. But still it is not working fine. Now it is not detecting the microSD itself. But first time when I download it will detect the card but no registry entry present in the card, after that when I boot from SD card it will not detect the SD card.Please go through my registry entries and please let me know if any changes.

Also I have attached my platform.reg.

My registry settings for hive is as follows:

as attached files ~

Change "MountAsBootable" to SD memory part.

Thank you so much oobin. Its working for 2GB micro SD. I followed your changes, it is working fine. But for 4GB microSD is not working. I am checking that now. If u have any idea please suggest.Thanks again.

I don't have 4G microSD now. If you resolve it, plz share it in this blog, too. Thx ~

I am trying to use the changes you have posted before am using (iMX53QSB_WEC7_SRC_V122) BSP on MCIMX53-START after I have done the changes the hive settings were correct but i faced a problem with writing on the SD memory, I found the path that I have defined to be used by the hive registry But i can't write anything on the SD memory although i can read from it. After the attempt to write on SD memory it will appear empty.

Note: I am using 2GB micro SD memory

The difference is that I have ESDHC1,ESDHC3 only in my drivers while you have ESDHC1,ESDHC2,ESDHC3,ESDHC4 as shown in the attachment.

It seems that you might lost SD device power or reset SD Device after boot up wince.

remove some drivers and try.

Re: Hive Registry setup

oobin — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:09:49 GMT

Dear Seetharam,

I got 4G iNand now, but I am confused that I can't save registry in this 4G device.

Have you try it successfully ??

thx

Re: Hive Registry setup

seetha — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:32:48 GMT

With 4GB SD/MMC also hive registry is working fine for me. I just added High_capacity parameter as follows:

; SDHC Memory Storage class driver
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class\High_Capacity]
"Flags"=dword:1000
"Dll"="SDMemory.dll"
"Prefix"="DSK"
"BlockTransferSize"=dword:40 ; send no more than 64 blocks of data per
;bus transfer
;"SingleBlockWrites"=dword:1 ; alternatively force the driver to use
;single block access
;"IdleTimeout"=dword:7D0 ; 2000 milliseconds
;"IdlePowerState"=dword:2 ; 0 == D0, 1 == D1, etc.
;"DisablePowerManagement"="" ; if value present, then disable (remove
;value to enable)
"Profile"="SDMemory"
"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}",
"{8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}"
;"BootPhase"=dword:1

Try the same. It should work.

If you boot from this SD,you must put the registry file to another

lee_ee — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:28:04 GMT

Dear hb chen

my HW platform is iMX53, OS is WEC7.

now, I failed to have Hive-based registry on WinEC7 to SD or MMC, my step as follow：

1. Set "hive-based registry" and "RAM and ROM File System" in catalog item;

2. Set my platform.reg same as your attach 403-platform.reg (78.6 K)

But, no mater the system boot form SD card or EMMC(inand) system always hang , not enter the desktop.

You have experience to achieve hive-base registry on WinEC7, please guide me to resolve SD or MMC Hive registry issue.

Thanks and Regards

Re: Hive Registry setup

oobin — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 08:54:46 GMT

Dear Lee,

Which board do you use ? SMD board or custom board ?

403-platform.reg should be ok, Seetharam had verified it.

Where do you try to save your registry ? SD or MMC ?

If MMC, you might need to format MMC as FAT32 first by using non-hived based image.

Or you can try to save registry to SD first to check whether you can use hive or not.

You might post your debug message here ~

Re: Hive Registry setup

oobin — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:25:16 GMT

Dear LEE,

1) There are still some difference. (HDProfile) . However, I can't sure it is the problem.

2) I can't give you my suggestions if you just pass .reg file to me without other information that I mentioned.

qiqi_nan — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 09:26:36 GMT

Hi Chen, following your post we found to change platform.reg, but we encounter a problem, WINCE can write registry on SD CARD (we know this if we plug in blank card, there would be new "Windows" and "Document And Settings") but it stop, the CE shell does not appear. Can you please check the platform.reg? thanks

Re: Hive Registry setup

oobin — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 16:12:37 GMT

Dear QiQi~

Can you post your debug message here ~

If no sd hive (non-hvie-based)~ is everything is fine ?~
