APOLLO Windows XP Embedded Quickstart
The Standard XPe image is supplied on the DVD in two different formats.
•
The Binary folder contains a single file, which is a binary image for use with the
flash disk supplied with the Development Kit. This image will not work with most
CompactFlash or flash disks from other manufacturers.
•
The Source folder contains the same files, which are in the binary image, but can
be used with another manufacturer's CompactFlash or flash disk (of the same size)
if you wish.
In addition to the two file formats, there are two different versions of each image,
created at different points during the creation of the image:
•
The sealed version of the image is intended for general use. The very first time a
sealed image is booted up, it always generates a new Security ID (SID) and a new
network name for the system. This ensures that when more than one APOLLO is
connected to the same network, each one is unique.
•
The nonsealed version of the image has not been sealed yet. This is only to be
used if you wish to create a master image, for example a custom image where you
have installed your own application. Once you are happy with the image you can
seal it and clone it. Any clones will then generate a new Security ID (SID) and a
new network name when they are first booted up.
For instructions on how to install a Binary image see
Windows XP Embedded image
For instructions on how to install a Source image see
APOLLO, page 37.
Do not use the NONSEALED image for anything other than creating a master
image. If more than one NONSEALED image is connected on the same
network, problems occur because they have the same SID and network name.
For general use, always use the SEALED version of the image.
