This file contains the mappings for drivers that are required for each Windows* embedded operating system.

Windows Embedded Standard 8
  Please use the main product release Windows* 8 released drivers.  Build the image then install the drivers.

Windows Embedded Compact 2013
  This operating system uses all the same drivers as the Windows Embedded Compact 7 release.  Please see that 
  section for full support details.

Windows Embedded Compact 7

  When using WEC7 for these devices use the driver located in the 
  PRO1000\WEC7 directory:

  These products use the e1i driver:
    10D3, 10A7, 150C, 1502, 10DE, 10DF, 10EA, 10EF, 150E, 1516, 1521, 
  1523, 10C9, 1533, 1539, 1536, 1537, 1538 

  Or by the product names:
  Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
  Intel(R) 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection
  Intel(R) 82583V Gigabit Network Connection
  Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection

  Intel(R) I210 Gigabit Fiber Network Connection
  Intel(R) I210 Gigabit Backplane Connection
  Intel(R) I210 Gigabit Network Connection
  Intel(R) Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1

  The I210/I211 devices were moved into the e1i driver for ease of use.  You no longer need to use the
  e1rxp driver for WEC7.

  As part of the improvements to the e1i driver, we’ve added a new file, e1iCEISR.dll to handle some 
  specific cases in our hardware.  This must be added into your PLATFORM.BIB files.  We recognize that 
  most people have the e1i61CE7.dll in the bib, here is an example of how to add the e1iCEISR.dll to 
  your PLATFORM.BIB.
  The driver will not load without the e1iCEISR.dll in the image.  Failure to include it in an 
  appropriate BIB will cause driver failure.  

    MODULES
    ;  Name            Path                                           Memory Type
    ;  --------------  ---------------------------------------------  -----------
       E1i61CE7.dll      $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\E1i61CE7.dll                NK  SHK
       E1ICEISR.dll      $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\E1iCEISR.dll                NK  SHK


  Some implementations may experience resets during even low levels of network activity.  If your design
  encounters some unexplained resets of the LAN part, please add this to the .reg file for each instance:

     "*LsoV2IPv4"=dword:0
     "*LsoV2IPv6"=dword:0

  This disables large send offloads from the stack to the driver so large data movement may see increased
  CPU utilization.  

  If a device is not listed here, use the CE6 drivers instead.  It will work on WEC7.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 KITL

  Currently only the 82574 is supported by the WEC7 KITL.

Windows Embedded Standard 7 

  Please use the standard Windows 7 drivers and installs for this operating system.

  For the Intel 82541ER please use the drivers located in the 82541ER_Win7 folder.
  These drivers will also work on Windows 7.  It is not certified and 
  is only signed by Intel.  Due to the nature of the 82541ER it cannot get
  Windows 7 certification.  

Windows XP based Operating Systems

  This includes Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded (XPE), Windows Embedded Standard
  2009 and their service packs.

  The latest shipping drivers for the various Intel(R) Ethernet products
  can be installed after the XPE operating system image is built.  
  The package provide here is used only in image creation via the platform
  builder.  For example if you want to use the 18.3 drivers, build the
  image first, deploy it to the target system, then install the 18.3 driver 
  package on the deployed target system.  

  **NOTE: The 18.3 main product release is the last release to have XP based Operating System files
  on it.  Further main product releases will not have Server2003/XP files on it.  The 18.3 release is still
  available here: 
  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23020

  XP related Operating Systems will be continue to have limited support in the Embedded Family release (PROEmbSW).

  **NOTE: Due to the technical constraints that come with the platform 
  image method, we will not be providing updated SLD files or binaries 
  that work with the SLD files. **

  ** Please note some of the drivers have not changed since the last release
  and are only included for completeness.  No further changes to these legacy
  drivers is expected or planned. ** 
 
        When using Windows XP Embedded for these devices use the
        driver located in the \PRO1000\WinXP Related\Legacy directory:
        1008, 100C, 100D, 100E, 100F, 1010, 1013, 1019, 1026, 1075, 1076,

Windows XP Embedded Teaming

  Please see the Embedded_Teaming_instructions.txt file in the Teaming folder.

Windows XP Operating System, Server 2003 Operating System and Server 2008 Operating System

        The following INF files are provided to enable embedded usage installs on
        non-supported product and Windows operating system combinations.  These files
        are not and cannot be certified.  Issues discovered when using
        these files must be reproduced on supported Windows operating systems
        before support can be offered.

        In order to use these INF files, copy the base driver files from the
        release media onto your local storage.  Next, copy the appropriate INF file(s) into the
        same directory as the other files. The INF file(s) use the appropriate
        driver files from the release media.  For example, if using 10G for the Windows XP
        Operating System from the 18.3 release, find the directory that contains the
        ixe5132.inf and then place the ixe5132_XP.inf in the same location.  Afterwards, 
        install pointing at the ixe5132_XP.INF.   The INF file(s) contain the appropriate
        software release that they are based off of.  Note that you'll get the best results if you
        use the same release as the base.

  **NOTE: The 18.3 main product release is the last release to have XP based Operating System files
  on it.  Further main product releases will not have Server2003/XP files on it.  The 18.3 release is still
  available here: 
  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23020

  XP related Operating Systems will be continue to have limited support in the Embedded Family release (PROEmbSW).

  Note:  XP will report the speed of a 10 Gigabit connection as 1.4Gbps.  This is caused by the
  operating system truncating the reported data from 64 bits to 32 bits.  10Gbps in 
  decimal is 10,000,000,000, in hex this is 2540BE400h; XP truncates the lowest nibble 
  in the upper DWORD of this value.  This makes the speed display value = 540BE400 hex, 
  which is 1,410,065,408 in decimal (1.4Gbps).  As of Service Pack 3, this has not been addressed.
  Please see Microsoft for any possible improvement in this behavior.

        Windows XP Operating System support for 10 GbE products:
                Use the file named ixe5132_XP.inf for x86 82598 based installs
                Use the file named ixe51x64_XP.inf for x64 82598 based installs.
