6 - 18 RD5000 RFID Integrator Guide
Typically, do not make modifications to registry values for drivers loaded before RegMerge. However, these values
may require modification during software development. Since these early loading drivers read these keys before
RegMerge gets a chance to change them, the RFID reader must be cold booted. 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 undefined.
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 and
Application FFS partitions (Platform first and then Application). These files are text files containing the source and
destination for the desired files to be copied separated by “>”. The following example from the file application.cpy is
contained on the demo application partition included in the DCP for RD5000. It can also be obtained from the
Support Central web site at
http://support.symbol.com/
.
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 RFID reader that can be upgraded.
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, the
entire OS image may be downloaded to the RFID reader using files provided by Motorola. The current OS
partition on the RFID reader is included as part of the TCM installation package. Any upgrades must be
obtained from Motorola. This partition is mandatory for the RFID reader.
•
Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the RFID reader.
