Software Applications

AutoCE

The
the PDA is reset. Each application may be designated to run only on a cold
reset, or on both warm and cold reset. The applications run sequentially,
allowing interdependencies to be handled.
To create the application list, use a text editor to build a file named
autoexec.ini. This file should contain the fully qualified names of each
application to run. Once the file is created, it should be copied into the
OnChip
comment and ignored by
cold boot, begin the line with an exclamation mark.
Please note that any application arguments containing spaces such as directory
names must be bracketed by quotation marks.
The following sample autoexec.ini file shows the use of quotes around
arguments, as well as an example of how to copy files.
cmd /C echo "Hello World" > "DiskOnChip\hello.txt"
cmd /C copy "DiskOnChip\hello.txt" "def.txt"
!cmd /C copy "DiskOnChip\hello.txt" "DiskOnChip\def.txt"
The first line will generate a file in the DiskOnChip directory named
hello.txt whenever the terminal is reset. The second line will copy this
file to the root directory as def.txt. The third line will only run when the
terminal is cold reset, and will copy the hello.txt file to def.txt in the
DiskOnChip.
The following sample file demonstrates the use of an application in the Dis-
kOnChip.
#\DiskOnChip\echobox test comment
\DiskOnChip\echobox AutoCE Test 1
!\DiskOnChip\echobox AutoCE Test 3
\DiskOnChip\echobox AutoCE Test 2
The first line begins with a # and is treated as a comment. The second line will
run the echobox command (sample application program) with 3 arguments
whenever the terminal is reset. The third line will run echobox but only when
the terminal is cold reset. The fourth line will again run the echobox com-
mand whenever the terminal is reset.
