Creating A Splash Screen; Xml Provisioning - Motorola MC75A Integrator Manual

4 - 6 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant Integrator Guide
The Update Loader application first looks for a file on a storage card. If it does not find it, it looks in the
7.
\temp directory.
When it finds the appropriate file, it loads the package onto the MC75A. A progress bar displays until the
update completes.
The MC75A re-boots.

The calibration screen appears.

NOTE When initiating an update via a boot sequence, the update loader looks for updates first on the root of an
installed microSD card and then in the \temp folder on the MC75A's persistent storage volume. A
response file, pkgs.lst, indicates which files to update. In most cases, Motorola provides this pkgs.lst file
with the update and you should only modify it when updating a splash screen partition. See
Splash Screen

Creating a Splash Screen

Use a bitmap file to create a customized splash screens for the MC75A. Use Image Update with a bitmap file,
rather than a package file, to update the splash screen.
To create a custom splash screen:
Create a .bmp file using a graphic program with the following specifications:
1.
•
Size: 592 x 480.
•
Colors: 16 bits per pixel (65536 colors) for color displays.
Modify the bitmap file and save.
2.
To load the splash screen on the MC75A:
Create a text file named pkgs.lst which contains the name of the bmp file. For example, mysplash.bmp.
1.
Copy the bmp file and the pkgs.lst file to one of the following:
2.
•
SD card root directory
•
MC75A's \temp directory
•
MC75A's \Windows directory.
If using an SD card, insert the SD card into the MC75A.
3.
Perform a cold boot.
4.
Press the trigger or side scan button for 5 seconds while booting to invoke the Update Loader and install

the splash screen.

XML Provisioning

To configure the settings on an MC75A, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the
MC75A, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file:
_setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the
XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC75A. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating
success or failure.
XML provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the MC75A (i.e., registry and file system).
However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, you must have
for more information.
