• Use AutoRun.exe to start your application at boot time. AutoRun
ships on the computer and automates other operations.
At boot time, AutoRun executes any commands found in its data file,
Autouser.dat. For more information on how to use the AutoRun.exe
feature, view the Readme.txt file located in the My Device\Flash File
Store\2577 directory on your computer.
Updating the System Software
The mobile computer uses Image Update to update the operating
system (OS) and the system software. Image Update uses incremental
packages to allow for smaller and faster updates because the contents
are stored in flash ROM.
Update packages persist through a cold or clean boot and cannot be
removed by the end user. The Image Update process also provides
strengthened security because all packages are signed. Image Update
packages (.pkg or .pks files) may contain elements such as .dll,
executable (.exe), and .cab files.
You can use either of these methods to update your mobile computer:
• You can update multiple computers at the same time using the
SmartSystems Console. For help, see the next section, “Updating
Multiple Computers Using SmartSystems Console”.
• You can update individual computers by transferring the packages
to the mobile computer and then installing them from the mobile
computer.
If you are using SmartSystems Foundation to update the computer,
you can purchase a Provisioning License to send the Image Update
silently. For more information, see “Sending the Image Updates
Silently” on page 100.
