IPL Menu Partitions

Partition Name Description

Platform Contains the files in the Platform folder.

Application Contains the files in the Application folder.

Windows CE Contains the operating system for the mobile computer.

Monitor Contains the Monitor and IPL programs.

Splash Screen Contains the splash screen that displays while booting the mobile computer.

Note: Splash screens are generated from .bmp images and must be less than or equal to

240 pixels wide and 296 pixels deep. For color screens the color depth must be 8 bpp.

Note: 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen images. Once Windows CE is running,

the color density is 16 bits per pixel.

Power Micro The Power Micro is a small computer contained within the mobile computer that controls

several system resources. In the unlikely event that the Power Micro Firmware needs

updating, selecting this item allows the device to be programmed.

Partition Table Contains the partition information for all other partitions.

Note: The partition table should never need changing unless the sizes of the platform and

application images are changed within TCM. If this is done, then the new partition table

should be loaded first, followed by both platform and application in any order.

Command File Select to load a command file. A command file is a file that allows you to automatically load

a number of partitions in a batch process.

System Reset Selecting this item provides a simple method to exit IPL and to boot the operating system.

Auto Select Selecting this item allows one or more files to be downloaded without having to manually

select the destination. (The content of the files being downloaded automatically directs the

file to the correct destination.) For technical reasons, Auto Select cannot be used to

download Monitor, Power Micro, or Partition Table. These items must be specifically

selected.
