Chapter 4 Application Deployment for

Introduction

This chapter describes new features in Windows CE 6.0 including how to package applications, and procedures for
deploying applications onto the MC31XX.

Application Design Considerations

To ensure application compatibility of a 320 x 320 display in Windows Mobile, some applications will need to be
recompiled with the Microsoft WM6 SDK.

Packaging

Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to
deploy and install an application to the MC31XX. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL files,
as CAB files, then deploy them to the MC31XX. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for information
on CAB files.

Software Installation on Development PC

To develop applications to run on the mobile computer, use one or both of the following:
•
Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) for C
•
Platform Software Developer Kit (Platform SDK) for MC3100
The EMDK for C is a development tool used to create native C and C++ applications for all Motorola Enterprise
Mobility mobile computers. It includes documentation, header files (.H), and library files (.LIB) for native code
application development that targets Motorola value-add APIs.
The Windows CE Platform SDK for MC3100c60 is used in conjunction with the EMDK for C to create Windows CE
applications for the MC31XX. The Platform SDK installs a new Windows CE device type and its associated
libraries onto the development PC.
