System resources

9.5.3.1

Currently allocated system resources

All system resources (hardware addresses, memory utilization, interrupt assignment, DMA
channels) are assigned dynamically by the Windows operating system, depending on the
hardware equipment, drivers and connected external devices. You can view the current
allocation of system resources or possible conflicts in the Control Panel as follows:
Procedure
To view the system resources, proceed as follows:
1. In the Windows Start menu, select "Start -> Run".
2. Enter "msinfo32" in the command prompt and confirm your entry with "OK".
9.5.3.2

System resources used by the BIOS/DOS

The following tables and pictures describe the system resources for the factory state of the
device.
Interrupt channels
The interrupts are assigned to devices by BIOS. An exclusive non-shared interrupt for
Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Windows 7 is available for the primary Ethernet
interface.
This means that applications or real-time operating system extensions can operate these
devices exclusively and with high performance, without having to share the interrupt with
other devices.
The following table shows the interrupt sharing in APIC mode:
