Chapter 6. Terminal Configuration: Building And Sending The Hex Image; Overview - Symbol PDT 3400 Series Product Reference Manual

Building and Sending the Hex Image

Overview

To assist in setting up the ROM Disk image, Symbol includes a Windows utility in the SDK,
Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM), to simplify building and downloading the hex
image to the PDT 3400.
Note: An MS-DOS utility, HEX2TERM, is also included for downloading
hex images to the PDT 3400.
In TCM, you create a script that contains the information (commands to copy files and
scripts) for building the image. TCM works with directory windows, which display the
directory structure of your script and the source directories, files, and scripts. You can open
multiple scripts, drag and drop items from a drive/directory to the script, rename and delete
files in the script, etc. On building the image, TCM adds all the files, directories, and scripts
referenced in the script to the image.
The SDK includes a number of standard scripts, demos/samples, foundation scripts, and
component scripts, for you to use as a base for creating your own scripts. These scripts can
be found in the SYMSDK\SDK3400\SCRIPTS directory.
Note: Before you begin creating a script to build a hex image, take the time
to identify the files required (system files, drivers, applications, etc.)
and to locate the files' source directories to make the script building
process easier.
