_FLATRELEASEDIR is an environment variable that defines the folder used to create the OS image. The Platform Builder tools use the environment variable.
· Buildrel copies files to the _FLATRELEASEDIR
· Makeimg creates the OS image in the _FLATRELEASEDIR
· CEShell mounts the _FLATRELEASEDIR as the \Release folder on the device when connected via KITL
· If you set WINCEREL=1 the exe and dll files will automatically be copied to the _FLATRELEASEDIR when they are built
· When you open a build window, it will automatically be opened in the _FLATRELEASEDIR – well, not really but most of the time. It seems that the directory is determined independent of the variable.
You can determine value of _FLATRELEASEDIR by opening a build window and typing “set _FLATRELEASEDIR”.
