Hi,

If this has been discussed before I apologize. But does anyone know whether
XP (embedded) supports execute-in-place (XIP)? If so can you point me in the
right direction for information? I haven't been able to find anything
concerning this topic, which leads me to believe that perhaps XP does not
support this feature.

As far as I know, XPe does *NOT* support XIP. CE does.
 
Thanks for the response. The main reason I'm looking into XIP is because an
embedded project I'm working on has pretty aggressive startup requirements.
I've looked into HORM and don't believe it gives me a complete solution for
our particular case; that is to say, I'm trying to find a solution that may
exceed HORM capabilities. That may be utilizing a combination of HORM and
other techniques. XIP place is one option I've been exploring, as boot up
times are reduced when the OS program is not copied into system memory as
part of the boot up sequence.

If anyone has any recommendations or information on how to reduce startup
times it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, not supported. If you have a need for it, I'd like to hear the
details and request that you fill out a feature request form and send it to
us so we can file a bug on it.

If boot time is a critical requirement in the specs for the device, you
could try using Minlogon instead of Winlogon in your configuration. Minlogon
configurations are much faster in boot and shutdown than Winlogon with the
downside that many OS features might require Winlogon to work. For example,
in Minlogon there is no concept of user accounts and everyone is logged on as
Local System ..
