CK60s run applications programmed in Microsoft Visual Studios 2005.
Use this chapter to understand what you need to develop a new application
for the CK60.
Note: Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 may be used, but some features
are not available.
To develop applications for your CK60, use the Resource Kits in the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL). Download the IDL from the Intermec
web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec representative
for more information.
You need the following hardware and software components to use the
resource kits:
• Pentium desktop, 400 MHz or higher
• Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Profes-
sional, or Server)
• For native and managed development, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• 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 desktop specification
• VGA or higher-resolution monitor (Super VGA recommended)
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Use any of these methods to package applications for installation:
• You could package an application as a cabinet (CAB) file. Recommended
• For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver.
• It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting
files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to store
your application:
• In the basic CK60, there are two built-in storage options: the Object
Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on Chip
(DOC) Flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of
storage which is embedded in a section of the system's FLASH memory.
This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It will, however, be
erased during the clean boot process.
