Overview
1.1 Operating System
IMPORTANT
Siemens assumes no responsibility for upgrades or changes made to the operating
system.
IMPORTANT
Each RUGGEDCOM APE1808 module supports UHS-I SD cards through its base oper-
ating system. If the operating system is changed, make sure the replacement operat-
ing system also supports this type of SD card.
Other Software/Applications
Siemens does not support any software installed on the RUGGEDCOM APE1808. This
includes, but is not limited to, software images provided by Siemens Customer Sup-
port.
Linux and SD Card Support
By default, the Linux-based version of the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 does not support
SDXC or SDUC microSD cards (i.e. microSD cards with a memory size of 32 GB or
higher).
SDXC and SDUC microSD cards use the Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT) file
system, which is not pre-installed in the Linux-based versions of the RUGGEDCOM
APE1808. For more information, refer to the
card.org/developers/overview/capacity].
Linux add-ons that provide support for exFAT are available but must be used in con-
junction with a valid license from Microsoft or a Microsoft-authorized provider. For
more information, refer to the

px].
Windows Licensing
To run Windows® 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC on the RUGGEDCOM APE1808, the Win-
dows® operating system must be activated after the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 module
has been installed.
