S/W Introduction The mission of Advantech Embedded Software Services is to "Enhance quality of life with Advantech platforms and Microsoft Windows® embedded technology." We enable Windows® Embedded software products on Advantech platforms to more effectively support the embedded computing community. Customers are freed from the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors (Hardware suppliers, System integrators, Embedded OS distributor) for projects.
SUSI provides a consistent programming interface for different Advantech boards. That means user programs using SUSI are portable among different Advantech boards as long as the boards and SUSI provide the required functionalities. Overall product development times can be greatly reduced using SUSI.
Windows CE In windows CE, there are three ways to install the SUSI Library, you can install it manually or use Advantech CE-Builder to install the library or just copy the programs and the library onto a compact flash card.
