Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

54 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual Developing Applications for the CK3 The CK3 runs applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You can also use Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 to program applications, but some features may not be available. Use this section to understand the hardware and software you need to develop applications for the CK3. Use the Intermec resource kits to develop new applications to run on the CK3. The Intermec resource kits are a library of C++ and .NET components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer. The resource kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the Intermec IDL web site at www.intermec.com/idl. To use the resource kits, you need these hardware and software components: • Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or later • Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Professional, or Server) • For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 • 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended) • 360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for complete) • CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia desktop specification • VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended) • Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications

CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 55 Installing Applications on the CK3 You can install applications on your CK3 using one of these methods: • Package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file. • Send the .exe file (simple applications, only) to the CK3. • Copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files. Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The CK3 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and can install third-party .cab files. You can program your .cab file to install your application to one of these memory locations on your CK3: • Object Store or Flash File Store. The Object Store is a DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although it may be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you can also store persistent registry information to the Flash File Store region. • Optional microSD card. If you are using a microSD card, this should be the primary location to place application installation files. The microSD card creates the Storage Card folder (SDMMC) on the CK3. For help using a microSD card, see “Using a microSD Card” on page 23. • Non-volatile Flash File Store. Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when you perform a clean boot. The flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, so do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing. Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the CK3 as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate location. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide available from www.intermec.com/idl. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.

58 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual Installing Applications Using the FTP Server The CK3 has a built-in FTP Server that connects to a network through Ethernet, 802.11 b/g, or Bluetooth communications. You can use the server to transfer your application file to the computer. Another benefit of using the FTP server is that you can create FTP scripts to automate the process of copying your files to the computer. This option is useful when you need to send files to a large number of computers. The easiest way to manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu within iConnect. To enable the FTP menu • Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\ShowFTPMenu The iFTP menu is available the next time your start iConnect. To manage the state of the FTP server • Modify these existing registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpAutoStart HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings\FtpHeartbeat Where 1 = enable and 0 = disable. Installing Applications Using Wavelink Avalanche You can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install applications on all of your wireless CK3 computers. The CK3 ships with the Avalanche Enabler. Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a reset), the CK3 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CK3 connects to the agent, the agent determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update. Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the CK3, you may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche Enabler. The default password is leave.

74 CK3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual Resetting the CK3 You seldom need to reset the CK3. However, you do need to reset the CK3 when an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CK3. The CK3 uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the reset process. There are three ways to reset the CK3: • Warm boot • Cold boot The scanner does not read the bar code label. • Aim the scanning beam so that it crosses the entire bar code label in one pass. Try changing the scan angle. • Check the quality of the bar code label, Scan a bar code label that you know scans well. Compare the two bar code labels to see if the bar code quality is too low. You may need to replace the label that you cannot scan. • Make sure the bar code symbology is enabled. For help, see “Configuring the CK3 With Intermec Settings” on page 29. • Make sure the application is accepting input by scanning a bar code. You may need to type this information instead. The scanner does not read the bar code labels quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be faint or obscured. The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution of ammonia and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to touch the window. The scanned bar code data that appears in your application does not match the data encoded in the bar code label. The CK3 may have decoded the bar code label in a different bar code symbology. Try scanning the bar code label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.
