• The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the
small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that
rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab
file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when
you perform a clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a
limited number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for
excessive writing.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the
appropriate location. You can find information about this system in
the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide
which is available from www.intermec.com/idl. When you copy a
.cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that
.cab file on every cold boot.
There are several ways you can install files and applications on the
computer:
• SmartSystems console
• ActiveSync
• microSD card
• Wavelink Avalanche
The following sections explain how to use each one of these processes
to install your application on the computer.
Installing Applications Using SmartSystems Foundation
Your CN50 is SmartSystems-enabled, which lets you use the
SmartSystems console to install Intermec applications on your
CN50. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation. For more
information, go to the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/
SmartSystems.
