FIX: You receive several DEBUGCHK errors when you start a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based debug image

Issue 1

When you try to start a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based NK.bin (debug) image, you receive several stop messages because of DEBUGCHK errors or ASSERT errors. When this problem occurs, you have to press F5 to continue. This prevents automated testing.

For example, you create a Windows Embedded Compact 7 OS design that includes the SYSGEN_FSREGRAM variable to support RAM-based registry. You use the debug version of filesys.dll and then you build an image on the design. When you start the image, you may receive several DEBUGCHK errors that resemble the following:

Issue 2

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device that loads an NK.bin (debug) image.
• You attach a USB 2.0 hub to the device. Then you attach a USB 1.1 device to the USB 2.0 hub.
• You start the device.

In this scenario, you receive a DEBUGCHK error.
