OEMAddressTable is a static (unchanging, available at startup without doing any work or setup) table of virtual -> physical mappings. The kernel is the only thing that has default access to the resources mapped by this table. If you are operating outside the OAL (i.e. in any kind of driver or application), you must use VirtualCopy() to copy or create memory page mappings. As mentioned above, you can copy any existing mapping as long as you have access to it. This includes a static mapping done by the OEMAddressTable. Some people will map all resources in the OEMAddressTable (so the kernel has access to everything), then just copy those mappings in drivers when they need to. This is not a best practice because it makes driver code less portable -- it is better to read the physical address of a component from the registry, then use the value found there to map to it. If you do this your driver code does not have to change if it is moved to a different platform or extended to use multiple components in different physical locations.

A mapping does not have to exist in OEMAddressTable in order for you to access the physical resources mapped. You can create a new mapping unknown to the OEMAddressTable by using VirtualCopy with the PAGE_PHYSICAL flag.

Config.bib reserves regions of memory that romimage knows about, but does not specify kernel memory regions.

OEMAddressTable mentioned in this blog applies only to h/w based TLB designs like x86 and ARM. For SHx and MIPS, there is a architecture pre-defined mapping (512Mb cached and uncached regions) at bootup.

-- On ARM v6/v7 there is a bit (eXecute Never XN) which can be used to mark individual page entries. Once this is set, then any attempt to execute code from that page will fault. This most likely will be supported in future releases of CE.

-- There seemed to be lot of confusion (party our fault since there are so many ways you can map physical or virtual memory) on these APIs. In general remember that VirtualCopy can be used to create a virtual address mapped to either a physical address or another virtual address range. Also all the flags are well documented in MSDN so you should take a look at that.

In Windows CE 5.0 and earlier, virtual allocations below 2MB *in size* will be allocated inside of the address space of the process calling it, while allocations above 2MB *in size* will be allocated out of the shared address space. I was not talking about the address of the allocation, I was talking about the size.
