Non-FFS Partitions

Non-FFS Partitions include software and data pre-loaded on your terminal. Unlike the FFS
Partition, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also
contain system information. Non-FFS Partitions include the following:
• Windows CE .NET: the complete Windows CE .NET operating system is stored on
Flash devices. If necessary, the entire OS image may be downloaded to the
terminal using files provided by Symbol. Any upgrades must be obtained from
Symbol. This partition is mandatory for the VRC 89XX.
• Boot Loader: initializes the CE .NET operating system prior to starting CE .NET
and provides a simple method of updating the Flash contents via a serial port.
Downloading the Operating System by Serial
Bootcode
To download the operating system via the serial port, the following equipment is required:
• PC
• ActiveSync cable
• The VRC8900 CE .NET update program available on the Windows CE .NET v4.1
