Typically, you would not modify the registry values for drivers loaded before RegMerge, although this may be
necessary during software development. Since these early loading drivers read these keys before RegMerge can
change them, you must cold boot the MK4000. The warm boot does not re-initialize the registry and the early
loading driver reads the new registry values.
Do not use Regmerge to modify built-in driver registry values, or merge the same Registry value to two files in the
same folder, as the results are not predictable.
CopyFiles
Windows CE expects certain files to be in the Windows folder, residing in volatile storage. Windows CE maintains
the System Registry in volatile storage. CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a cold boot. Files can
be copied from a non-volatile partition (Application or Platform) to the Windows or other volatile partition during a
cold boot. During a cold boot CopyFiles looks for files with a .CPY extension in the root of the Platform, then the
Application FFS partitions. These files are text files containing the source and destination for the desired files to
copy, separated by “>”. The demo application partition included in the DCP contains the following example from the
file application.cpy. Alternatively, obtain this from the Support Central web site at
http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support .
Files are copied to the Windows folder from the Flash File System using copy files (*.cpy) in the following order:
\Platform
\Application
Example:
\Application\ScanSamp2.exe>\Windows\ScanSamp2.exe
This line directs CopyFiles to copy the ScanSamp2.exe application from the \Application folder to the \Windows
folder.
Non-FFS Partitions
Non-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on the MK4000 that you can upgrade. Unlike
FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also contain system
information. Non-FFS partitions include the following:
•
Windows CE: The complete Windows CE operating system is stored on Flash devices. If necessary, you can
download the entire OS image to the MK4000 using Motorola provided files. The TCM installation package
includes the current OS partition on the MK4000. Obtain any upgrades from Motorola. This partition is
mandatory for the MK4000.
•
Splash Screen: a bitmap smaller than 16 kb (and limited to 8 bits per pixel) appears as the MK4000 cold
boots. To download a customized screen to display, see
Creating a Splash Screen on page 5-17 .
•
Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the MK4000.
Downloading Partitions to the MK4000
Use TCM to specify a hex destination file for each partition and download each file to the MK4000. This download
requires a program loader stored on the MK4000.
NOTE
8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is
16 bits per pixel.
