This article describes an issue that occurs when you run a Silverlight for Windows Embedded application in Windows Embedded Compact 2013. An update is available to resolve this issue. Before you install this update, all previously issued updates for this product must be installed.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a Microsoft Silverlight for Windows Embedded application installed on a Windows Embedded Compact 2013-based device.
-
The device has a single-core processor.
-
You enable the following board support package (BSP) environment variable in order to support OpenGL hardware acceleration for Silverlight for Windows Embedded:
BSP_XRPLUGIN_OPENGL
In this scenario, you experience high CPU usage and performance problems when you run the application.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Silverlight user interface (UI) thread sends the texture updates much faster than the rate at which the rendering thread can render them.
Resolution
Download information
Windows Embedded Compact 2013 Monthly Update (October 2014) is now available from Microsoft. To download this Windows Embedded Compact 2013 monthly update, go to Microsoft OEM Online or MyOEM.

Workaround informationInstantiating a new XAML class that inherits the ICustomGraphicsDevice class may trigger the following compiler error:
error C2259: '<classname>' : cannot instantiate abstract class
This issue is caused by the addition of four abstract functions in the ICustomGraphicsDevice class for this hotfix.
To work around this issue, implement the following abstract functions in your class that inherits ICustomGraphicsDevice. (See also xamlruntimegraphics.h.)
-
virtual __checkReturn XRESULT UIThreadPriority() = 0;
-
virtual __checkReturn XRESULT RenderThreadPriority() = 0;
-
virtual __checkReturn XRESULT RenderThreadQuantum() = 0;
-
virtual __checkReturn BOOL DisplayFrameRateMonitor() = 0;
This update introduces several registry values that let you do the following:
-
Manipulate the UI Thread Priority
-
Manipulate the Render Thread Priority
-
Manipulate the Render Thread Quantum
-
Display the frame rate monitor together with the two previously mentioned thread priority settings
