Developing Applications for the CN30 Computer

Converting Older Computer Applications to CN30 Applications

96
CN30 Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Embedded
Visual C++. Use this section to understand what you need to:
• Develop a new application for the CN30 Computer.
• Convert an application from an older computer to a CN30 application.
To develop applications for your CN30 Computer, use the Resource Kits in
the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). Download the IDL from the Inter-
mec web site at www.intermec.com. Contact your Intermec representative
for more information.
You need the following hardware and software components to use the
resource kits:
• Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Profes-
sional, or Server)
• For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version
4.0
• For Windows CD 5.0, eVC 4.0 SP4 is required
• 128 MB RAM (196 MB recommended)
• 360 MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720 MB for com-
plete)
• CD-ROM drive compatible with multimedia PC specification
• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
If you have an existing application that you would like to run on the CN30
Computer, you can use the Migration Resource Kit to convert that applica-
tion. This kit has a set of libraries and tools that convert your existing C
applications into C++ applications for use on the CN30 Computer.
As you migrate from another computer to a CN30 Computer, you need to
consider when converting other computer applications to run on the CN30
Computer, most APIs should work without changes, with the exception
that arrow and tab keys may be reversed from other computers. Keyboard
remapping is available on the CN30 Computer should you need to map
these keys like that of the other computer.
You need these hardware and software components to use the Migration
Resource Kit:
• a PC with at least 1MB of free disk space running Microsoft Windows
2000 or Windows XP
