Packaging an Application

Useanyofthesemethodstopackageanapplicationforinstallation:

SFor very simple applications, the application itself might be the only file

that needs to be delivered.

SIt could be a directory structure that contains the application, support-

ing files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.

SOr, you could package an application via a CAB file.

Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to

store your application:

SIn the basic 700 Color Computer, there are two built-in storage op-

tions: the Object Store and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM). The

Object Store is RAM that looks like a disk. Anything copied here is de-

leted when a cold-boot is performed on the 700 Color Computer. The

PSMisanareaofstoragewhichisembeddedinasectionofthesystem’s

FLASH memory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It

may, however, be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to

storing applications and data files, you do have the option to store a per-

sistent registry to the PSM region.

SIf the optional Secure Digital or CompactFlash storage card is in the

system, then consider this card the primary location for placing an ap-

plications install files. The following folders represent either card:

SThe Secure Digital storage card creates the “\SDMMC Disk” folder.

SThe CompactFlash storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.

Note: The 730 Mobile Computer does not support the Compact

Flash storage card.

SUse the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that

rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file

into the Flash File Store so they are ”ready-to-run” when a cold-boot is

performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of

write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing pur-

poses; however, reading is okay.

Files copied to any of these locations are safe when a cold-boot is

performed on a 700 Color Computer — providing the AutoRun system is

installed in the appropriate location You can find this system in the 700

Color Management Tools portion of the Intermec Developer’s Library CD.

Copying a CAB file to the “\CABFILES” folder on one of these cards

automatically extracts that CAB file on every cold-boot to ensure that your

system is properly set up (see page 124).

Migrating from a 700 Monochrome Computer

As you migrate from a 700 Monochrome Computer to a 700 Color Com-

puter, you need to consider the following: When converting a 700 Mono-

chrome Computer application to run on the 700 Color Computer, most

APIs should work without changes. Below are a few exceptions:

SThe 700 Monochrome Computer uses the “\Storage Card” folder for

nonvolatile storage. You may need to change the application to store

data onto the “SDMMC Disk” folder instead of the “\Storage Card”

folder if a Secure Digital storage card is present in the system.

SIf the application uses the RegFlushKey() API, it must first verify that

the proper media is available in the system and call the special API men-

tioned in Step 7 on the previous page.

SIftheapplicationisusingthe700Colorswitchabledock,usethe

IOCTL_DOCK_SWITCH value from the

IOCTL_HAL_ITC_WRITE_SYSPARM function to set the proper

port on the dock before communications. See more information about

this KernelIOControl function in Chapter 7, “Programming.”

SSome WAN radio options have changed. Review the WAN radio infor-

mation in Chapter 4, “Network Support,“to determine if any changes are

required in your application.

SArrow and tab keys are reversed from the 700 Monochrome Computer.

Keyboard remapping is available on the 700 Color Computer should

you need to map these keys like that of the 700 Monochrome Comput-

er (see page 121).

SSpecial SDKs are not needed to compile applications for the Xscale pro-

cessor. Targeting the SA1110 processor creates applications that run on

the 700 Color Computer.

Installing Cabinet Files

CAB files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by

Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .CAB, that

stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread

over several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application decom-

presses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s system.

For the 700 Series Computer, CAB files register DLLs, create shortcuts,

modify registry entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a CAB file to

extract that file or place the CAB file on one of the approved storage de-

vices in the “\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the 700 Se-

ries Computer. There are two methods available to extract a CAB file:

STap a CAB file to extract it. With this method, the CAB file is automat-

ically deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the CAB

file is set with the read-only attribute.

SUse the AUTOCAB method to extract all files when a cold-boot is per-

formed on the 700 Series Computer. This method is on the Intermec

Developer’s Library CD,seeitsSoftware Tools User’s Manual for informa-

tion.
