Overview - Symbol PDT 7500 Series Product Reference Manual

Overview

To assist in setting up the FLASH Disk image, Symbol includes a utility in the SDK, Terminal
Configuration Manager (TCM), to simplify building and downloading hex images to the
PDT 7500 terminal.
In TCM, you create a script that contains the information (commands to copy files and
scripts) for building the image. TCM works with directory windows which display the
directory structure of your script and the source directories, files, and scripts from which you
pull components. You can open multiple scripts, drag and drop items from a drive/directory
to the script, rename and delete files in the script, etc. Upon building the image, TCM adds
all the files, directories, and scripts referenced in the script to the image.
The SDK includes a number of standard scripts, demos/samples, foundation scripts, and
component scripts, for you to use as a base for creating your own scripts. These scripts can
be found in the SYMSDK\SCRIPTS directory.
Note: Before you being creating a script to build a hex image, take the time
to identify the files required (system files, drivers, applications, etc.)
and to locate the files' source directories to make the script building
process easier.
