Does Microsoft Provide a Way to Include Third Party Drivers in Windows CE?
We’re in the process of exploring how we might create a Windows CE Driver Library (CEDL), similar to the Windows Driver Library (WDL). Once the CEDL is finalized and implemented, OEMs and 3rd party driver writers will be able to submit their fully functional driver and supported hardware to the Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) or an independent test authority for compatibility testing and subsequent inclusion of the driver into the CEDL. We’ll post the latest information on the CEDL to the WHQL Web site, so OEMs should check this site for updated information on this initiative.
