Build ESSID Partition Window
If one of the partitions being built is the Splash Screen, a prompt appears requesting both the source Bitmap
file and the destination HEX file.
1.
A check is performed and if there are no errors, the partition hex files are created.
If the build fails, the hex files are not be created and TCM displays an error message. Two of the most common
reasons for a build failure are:
•
Files defined in the script can not be found. This error can occur when the files referenced by the script are
no longer stored on the development computer or the folders where they are stored were renamed.
•
The total amount of flash memory space required by the script exceeds the image size. To correct this,
reduce the number of files in the partition or increase the size of the partition. See
Defining Script Properties
on page 6-13 for more information about setting the image size appropriately.
Downloading Partitions to the RFID Reader
The two methods for downloading partitions to the RD5000 are using the OSUpdate Utility (see Software Upgrade
Using The OSUpdate Utility on page 6-16 ) and using AirBEAM Smart (see AirBEAM Smart on page 6-19 ).
Software Upgrade Using The OSUpdate Utility
Use the Software Upgrade Using the OSUpdate Utility to copy the OSUpdate folder from DCP installation v1.1
directory (C:\Program Files\Symbol Device Configuration Packages\RD5000c50\V1.1) in to temp folder of the
RD5000 device. To copy entire folder, set the memory allocation to 31MB for each program and storage memory.
1.
Run OSUpdate utility by double clicking on RD5kc50BenColor_TEMP file on RD5000. A remote control tool
like pocket controller can be used. The file is in the path \temp\OSUpdate on device.
2.
Installation takes few minutes and device cold boots after completing the installation.
3.
The firmware has to be flashed to appropriate devices using appropriate applications.
Example:
Latest MPS firmware - Mega16_Serial_x_xx.hex needs to be downloaded through AtmelFlasher.exe. Both the files
would be available in \Application Folder.
