Packaging Applications for the CK60 Computer

CK60 Series Handheld Computer User's Manual
remapping is available on the CK60 Computer should you need to map
these keys like that of the other computer.
You need these hardware and software components to use the PSK:
• a PC with at least 1MB of free disk space running Microsoft Windows
2000 or Windows XP
• Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0 with Service Pack 2
• Intermec SDK and development tools
• Intermec PSK, which contains these files and utilities:
• PSK functions library
• Header files
• Example files
The PSK is part of the Intermec Developer's Library (IDL), which is avail-
able on the Intermec Developer's Library CD or as a download from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Use any of these methods to package applications for installation:
• You could package an application as a cabinet (CAB) file. Recommended
• For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver.
• It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting
files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to store
your application:
• In the basic CK60 Computer, there are two built-in storage options: the
Object Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on
Chip (DOC) Flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area
of storage which is embedded in a section of the system's FLASH mem-
ory. This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It may, however,
be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applica-
tions and data files, you do have the option to store a persistent registry
to the Flash File Store region.
• If the optional Secure Digital (SD) storage card is in the system, then
consider this card the primary location to place applications installation
files. The "\Storage Card" folder represents the SD card.
• Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are "ready-to-run" when a cold-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing pur-
poses; however, reading is okay.
