incorrect config block prevents the correct operation of the mobile computer.
Contains the operating system for the mobile computer.
Contains the Monitor and IPL programs.
Contains the splash screen that displays while booting the mobile computer.
Notes: Splash screens are generated from .bmp images, (see
page 6-17). For mono displays, the bmp image must be 4 bits per pixel (bpp) and for color
screens the color depth must be 8 bpp.
8 bpp only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is
16 bpp.

several system resources. In the unlikely event that the Power Micro Firmware needs updating,
selecting this item allows the device to be programmed.
Contains the partition information for all other partitions.
Note: The partition table should never need changing unless the sizes of the platform and
application images are changed within TCM. If this is done, then the new partition table must
be loaded first, followed by both platform and application in any order.
Displays the Select Transport menu, USB or Lighthouse 0 serial selection.
Selecting this item provides a simple method to exit IPL and to cold boot the operating system.
Selecting this item allows one or more files to be downloaded without having to manually
select the destination. (The content of the files being downloaded automatically directs the file
to the correct destination.) For technical reasons, Auto Select can not be used to download
Monitor, Power Micro, or Partition Table. These items must be specifically selected.
