Introduction; Required System Configurations - Symbol MC9000-G Product Reference Manual

Introduction

To develop applications to run on the mobile computer, one or more of the following is required:
• Symbol Mobility Developer Kit (SMDK) for Embedded Visual C 4.0 (eVC4)
• Symbol Mobility Developer Kit (SMDK) for .NET
• Device Configuration Package (DCP) for MC9000w.
The SMDK for eVC4 is a development tool used to create native C and C++ applications for all Symbol
mobile computers running the Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs operating
system. It includes documentation, header files (.H), and library files (.LIB) for native code application
development that targets Symbol value-add APIs.
The SMDK for .NET provides all of the tools necessary to develop C# and VB.NET managed
applications for Symbol mobile computers. These tools include class libraries, sample applications,
and associated documentation. SMDK for .NET allows Microsoft .NET Compact Framework
developers to programmatically access Symbol value-add features of the mobile devices.
The DCP for MC9000w provides the Product Reference Guide (PRG), flash partitions, Terminal
Configuration Manager (TCM) and the associated TCM scripts. With this package hex images that
represent flash partitions can be created and downloaded to the mobile computer.
