  • Page 53 4.1 Introduction ® ® The SPC series is one embedded system with Windows CE.NET OS. The Windows CE.NET is a compact OS that occupies less storage space or system resources ® ® compared with other operating systems such as Windows NT or Windows XP.
  • Page 54 After the OS image was built, we may want to burn it to the on-board flash ROM. Advantech provides the upgrade utility “Upgrade” to upgrade Bootloader image, WinCE image or boot logo to onboard flash ROM. The upgrade procedure is described as following : Step1.
  • Page 55 Figure 4.3 Upgrade utility Note: The difference between NK.NB0 (Compressed) and NK.NB0 (Normal, XIP) : The option “NK.NB0 (Normal, XIP)” means that the nk.nb0 will be upgraded directly to the flash ROM, and “NK.NB0 (Compressed)” means that we compress nk.nb0 first, and then write the compressed data to the flash ROM.
  • Page 56 Figure 4.5 Regflash utility It is important to keep the power normal during "Save to Flash" process. If the power were broken down during the registry saving process, then the registry would be lost and corrupted. On the next time you turn on platform, the system would load the default registry setting rather than the previously customized registry setting.
  • Page 57 there are two ways to perform "Starup" function. Method 1: Step1: Create "startup" directory in CF storage card or in folder "\IPSM\". Step2: Copy executable files to "startup" directory that is created by Step 1. Example: We copy two executable files "REGFLASH.exe" and "Notepad.exe" in "\IPSM\Startup", and then reboot the system.
