Software Installation on Development PC

To develop applications to run on the Windows CE mobile computer, use one or both of the following:
Symbol Mobility Developer Kit (SMDK) for C
•
Windows CE Platform SDK for MC9090
•
Device Configuration Package (DCP) for MC9090.
•
The SMDK for C is a development tool used to create native C and C++ applications for all Symbol mobile
computers. It includes documentation, header files (.H), and library files (.LIB) for native code application
development that targets Symbol value-add APIs.
The Windows CE Platform SDK for the MC909X is used in conjunction with the SMDK for C to create Windows
CE applications for the MC909X mobile computer. The Platform SDK installs a new Windows CE device type
and its associated libraries onto the development PC. This new device is added to the Active WCE
Configuration field of Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0.
The Device Configuration Package (DCP) is required to create and download hex images that represent flash
partitions to the mobile computer. The DCP includes the user documentation, flash partitions, Terminal
Configuration Manager (TCM) and the associated TCM scripts.
