Persistent Storage; Application Folder; Enterprise Mobility Developer Kits - Motorola MC67 Integrator Manual

Persistent Storage

Windows Mobile 6 protects all data and applications from power-related loss. Because Windows Mobile 6
mounts the entire file system and registry in persistent storage (rather than using RAM), MC67 devices provide
a reliable storage platform even in the absence of battery power.
Persistent storage provides application developers with a reliable storage system available through the
standard file system and registry APIs. Persistent storage is optimized for large reads and writes; therefore,
applications reading and writing data in large chunks tend to outperform those applications reading and writing
small blocks of data. Data in persistent storage is lost upon a reset.
Persistent storage contains all the directories under the root directory except for Application, Cache Disk, and
Storage Card (if a storage card is installed). Persistent storage is approximately 1.1 GB (formatted).

Application Folder

The Application folder is a super-persistent storage that is persistent even after a reset. Accessing data in the
Application folder is slower than accessing persistent storage. The Application folder is used for deployment
and device-unique data. For example, network profiles can be stored in the Application folder so that
connection to the network is available after a reset. The Application folder is approximately 510 MB
(formatted).

Enterprise Mobility Developer Kits

The Motorola Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) family of products allows you to write applications that
take advantage of the capture, move and manage capabilities of the MC67. Go to the Support Central
(http://supportcentral.motorola.com) to download the appropriate developer kit.
