After you download your Windows Embedded Compact OS to your target device by using Platform Builder, you may want to disconnect your development computer from your device. If you do not disable the kernel independent transport layer (KITL) and the kernel debugger in your OS image, the OS will stop working when you disconnect your device from your development computer.
The debugger is attempting to pass information between your development computer and your device.
You need to disable KITL and the kernel debugger in your OS build settings. To disable KITL and the kernel debugger in the OS image, follow the steps below.
In Platform Builder, in the Solution Explorer window, right-click your OS design project, and then click Properties.
In the Property Pages dialog box, click Configuration Properties to expand it.
Under Configuration Properties, click Build Options.
In the right pane, under Build Options, set Enable kernel debugger to No.
Set Enable KITL to No.
Click Ok.
