RegMerge and CopyFiles

RegMerge and CopyFiles are two device drivers included in the Windows CE OS to assist developers in configuring the MK3100 following a cold boot. See Flash Storage on page 5-15 for more information.

Accessing the Windows CE Desktop

If an MK3100 is configured to launch an application on power-up, you can bypass the application at boot-up to access to the Windows
®
CE desktop.

Network Time Update: SNTP Client

The MK3100 Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client can automatically set and update the MK3100 time and date through the network. Use this feature to set the system time an d date af ter reboot s or power out ages. This feature also ensures consistent time an d da te stamping across a fleet of MK3100s. The SNTP Client program queries the specified SNTP server over the network to set the time and date.
The SNTP client shipped with MK3100 Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 is the Microsoft default SNTP Client program.

Memory Management

Flash: Nonvolatile (Persistent) Memory

The MK3100 has 8 GB of available flash memory. The data partition (folder) has no available memory. The data stored in flash memory persists through cold boot cycles.
Add a microSD card to the MK3100 to increase the non-volatile memory available for file storage.

RAM: Volatile (Non-Persistent) Memory

The MK3100 has 1 GB of RAM volatile memory. Developers can automate control of the device’s RAM (volatile) memory allocation (storage vs. memory used to run programs) to persist memory allocation settings through cold boot cycles.

Loading Additional Fonts on the MK3100

You can program the MK3100 to support additional fonts such as Unicode and double-byte character font. The MK3100 supports the following system fonts as shipped from the factory. The font files corresponding to
these formats are located in the
Courier New
Symbol
Tahoma
\windows folder with .ttf extension.
Times New Roman
Wingding. The default system font path for these fonts is \windows. Use one of the following options to load fonts not supplied with the MK3100:
Change the system font path where the system looks for fonts. For example, to change default system
font path from
in
\application\fonts:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\application\fonts"
Adding this registry changes the entire system fonts directory, so fonts supplied with the OS are no
longer available. To use both the provided system fonts and new fonts, copy the system default fonts to
the new font directory.
Copy new/alternate fonts to the default \windows directory.
Copy alternate fonts to the \windows\fonts directory. Copying new fonts to the \windows or \windows\fonts pr eserves existing fonts. However the new fonts
consume system RAM as they are part of the ObjectStore. Using the third option, i.e., copying fonts to the \windows\fonts directory, makes it easier to manage the system.
Note that fonts copied to \windows or \windows\fonts do not persist over power cycles or cold boots. Use the copy file feature to persist them over power cycles or cold boots.
\windows to \application\fonts add the following registry to the system along with new fonts
Page 40
4 - 4 MK3100 MicroKiosk for Windows Embedded Compact 7 Product Reference Guide

Using Additional Fonts in Native Applications

Any application written in EVC can use the additional fonts using either MFC or Win32 APIs. If a spe cified font is missing, the system uses an available font for display.

Using Additional Fonts in Managed Applications

All fonts installed in the system are available to the .Net Compact Framework during runtime.

Using Additional Fonts in Browser Applications

Regardless of how you installed the font in the system, to reference it using a browse r page, speci fy the font as a STYLE, or use FONT tags. Use intuitive names for the fonts (use FontViewer on a Windows desktop and locate the Internet Explorer uses its default font to display the text.
Typeface Name line), and use quotes to enclose names with spaces. If the specified font is missing,

Things to Consider when Using Additional Fonts

Different font styles (e.g., bold and italic) often require separate TTF files; be sure to provide all required styles. Do not reference styles by name (e.g., Arial Bold); set the style separately from the font (e.g., using a “b” or “strong” tag, or a style).
For best results, do not direct the system font path to a storage card (PCMCIA), as this can negatively impact system performance. If this method is necessary, test the use of a storage card thoroughly for fonts to ensure proper operation.
Most Web pages contain information that tells the browser what language encoding (the language and character set) to use. If the page does not include that information, and the Language Encoding Auto-Select feature is on, Internet Explorer can usually determine the appropriate language encoding. If not, manually select it using
NOTE If the Auto-Select feature or a specific language pack is not installed, Internet Explorer prompts you to
download the files. Adding languages does not guarantee Web pages display in the preferred language.

Rapid Deployment Client

The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to an MK3100 from a Mobility Services Platform (MSP) Console’s FTP server. The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless infrastructure monitoring and management tools provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
When software packages transfer to the FTP server, an MK3100 on the wireless network can download them by scanning RD bar codes encoding the location of the software packages. Multiple MK3100s can scan a single RD bar code.
NOTE For detailed information about the Rapid Deployment Client and creating RD bar codes, refer to the MSP
3.X User’s Guide.

Creating a Splash Screen

Source bitmap files that create the default splash screens for the MK3100 are available on the Zebra Support web site at http://www.zebra.com/support. You can customize the screen by modifying these files using any standard windows image editor.
To create a custom splash screen:
1. Use an image editor to open the Splashcolor.bmp file.
2. Modify the bitmap file and save.
3. Create a splash partition.
If you don’t use the default files to create the new splash screens, be sure to preserve the image format of 800 x 480, 8 bits per pixel. Note that 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel. See Bootloader on page 5-7 for information about loading the splash screen.
Page 55

Flash Storage

In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE devices, the MK3100 also includes a non-volatile flash-based storage area which can store data (partitions) that a cold boot cannot corrupt. This flash area is divided into two sections: flash file system (FFS) partitions and non-FFS partitions.

FFS Partitions

The MK3100 includes two FFS partitions. These partitions appear to the MK3100 as a hard driv e tha t th e OS file system can write files to and read files from. Data is retained even if power is removed.
The two FFS partitions appear as the following two separate folders in the Windows CE file system:
Platform: The Platform FFS partition contains Zebra-supplied programs and Dynamic Link Li braries (DLLs). This FFS is configured to include DLLs that control system operation. Since the MK3100 needs these drivers for basic operation, only experienced users should modify the content of this partition.
Application: The Application FFS partition stores applicatio n pr og ra m s need ed to op er a te the MK3100.

Working with FFS Partitions

Application Deployment 5 - 15
Because the FFS partitions appear as folders under the Windows CE file system, you can read and write to them like any other folder. For example, an application program can write data to a file located in the Application folder just as it would to the Windows folder. However, the file in the Application folder is in non-volatile storage and is not lost on a cold boot (e.g., when power is removed for a long period of time).
Y ou can use st andard tools such as ActiveSync to copy files to and from the FFS p artitions. They appear as the Application and Platform to the ActiveSync explorer . This is useful when inst alling applications on the MK3100. Applications stored in the Application folder are retained even after a cold boot.
There are two device drivers included in the Windows CE image to assist developers in configuring the MK3100 following a cold boot: RegMerge and CopyFiles.
Page 56
5 - 16 MK3100 MicroKiosk for Windows Embedded Compact 7 Product Reference Guide
RegMerge.dll
RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows making registry edits to the Windows CE Registry. Regmerge.dll runs very early in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain flash file system folders during a cold boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.
Since the registry is re-created on every cold boot from the default ROM image, the RegMerge driver is necessary to make registry modifications persistent over cold boots.
RegMerge looks in the root of two specific folders for .reg files in the following order:
\Platform \Application
Regmerge continues to look for.reg files in these folders until it checks all folders. This allows folders later in the list to override folders earlier in the list. This way, it is possible to override Registry changes made by the Platforms partitions folders. Take care when using Regmerge to make Registry chan ges. Examples of .reg files are available on http://www.zebra.com/support.
NOTE Regmerge only merges the .reg files on cold boots. A warm boot skips the merge process.
Typically, you would not modify the registry values for drivers loaded before RegMerge, although this may be necessary during software development. Since these early loading drivers read these keys before RegMerge can change them, you must cold boot the MK3100. The warm boot does not re-initialize th e registry and the early loading driver reads the new registry values.
Do not use Regmerge to modify built-in driver registry values, or merg e th e same Reg i stry value to two files in the same folder, as the results are not predictable.
CopyFiles
Windows CE expects certain files to be in the Windows folder, residing in volatile storage. Windows CE maintains the System Registry in volatile storage. CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a cold boot. Files can be copied from a non-volatil e p artitio n (Application or Pl at form) to the Win dows or othe r volatile partition during a cold boot. During a cold boot CopyFiles looks for files with a .CPY extension in the root of the Platform, then the Application FFS partitions. These files are text files containing the source and destination for the desired files to copy, separated by “>”. The following example from the file application.cpy is available on
the Zebra Support web site at http://www.zebra.com/support.
Files are copied to the Windows folder from the flash file system using copy files (*.cpy) in the following order:
\Platform \Application
Example:
\Application\ScanSamp2.exe>\Windows\ScanSamp2.exe
This line directs CopyFiles to copy the ScanSamp2.exe application from the \Application folder to the \Windows folder.

Non-FFS Partitions

Non-FFS partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on the MK3100 that you can upgrade. Unlike FFS partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also contain system information. Non-FFS partitions include the following:
Windows CE: The complete Windows CE operating system is stored on flash devices. If necessary, you can download the entire OS image to the MK3100 using Zebra provided files. The installation package includes the current OS partition on the MK3100. Obtain any upgrades from Zebra. This partition is mandatory for the MK3100.
Splash Screen: A 675 kb maximum bitmap appears as the MK3100 cold boots. To download a customized screen to display, see Creating a Splash Screen on page 5-14.
NOTE 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is
16 bits per pixel.
Partition Table: Identifies where each partition is loaded in the MK3100.
