ThinkCore DA-661/662/663 WinCE User’s Manual Introduction The internal file system supports TFAT (Transaction-safe File Allocation Table) which is a safer mechanism than FAT. TFAT prevents the file system from write corruption when the power shuts down unexpectedly. When power shuts down, the file state is rolled back. In addition, TFAT is a superset of FAT. This means that the internal file system of the computer provides the ability to mount the external FAT file systems.

2 Chapter 2 Getting Started In this chapter, we explain how to use a PC to operate a DA-66X-CE computer. For clarity, the PC that you will be using to connect to the DA-66X-CE is referred to as a development workstation, and the DA-66X-CE computer is called a target computer. In addition, manual steps are described to facilitate operations such as system time adjustment, troubleshooting network connectivity, etc.
ThinkCore DA-661/662/663 WinCE User’s Manual Getting Started Starting Your DA-661/662/663 Computer Connect the SG wire to the shielded contact located in the upper left corner of the DA-66X-CE computer, and then power it on by connecting it to the power adaptor. It takes about 30 to 60 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the “Ready” LED will light up. The light will stay lit until you shut down the computer.
ThinkCore DA-661/662/663 WinCE User’s Manual Getting Started For most applications, you will need to change the network settings to fit whatever local network development workstation is connected to. If you do not change the IP addresses, you may not be able to make a network connection to the DA-66X-CE directly. The “netconfig” command is a utility that is used to complete the task. Before changing the IP addresses, type “netconfig -h” to list the help for this command.

3 Chapter 3 Web-based Management System Note: Internet Explorer 5.5 or above is required to use the web-based management system. The DA-66X-CE ready-to-run embedded computers are network-centric platforms designed to be used as front-end computers for data acquisition and industrial control. Due to the distributed characteristics of the devices that these computers control, they often reside in harsh environments away from the system administrator.
ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE User’s Manual Web-based Management System System Information After you log on successfully, the main page displays the system information of the target computer, including the firmware version of the computer, the CPU system time, and system resources, including main memory and file system usage (RAM and Flash). Networking/Server Configuration The target computer has two network interfaces. To view or change the settings, click the Networking item on the menu bar.
ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE User’s Manual Web-based Management System Serial Port Configuration The target computer consists of multiple high-performance serial ports, each with 3-in-1 (RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485) operation mode switch capability, with the default set to RS-232. You can specify each of these ports to operate at a specific mode. The updated settings take effect after the system is rebooted and remain in force until another update is made.
ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE User’s Manual Web-based Management System transfer files from your workstation to the target computer in an easy way. For instance, after you have built an application on the development workstation, you can use this mechanism to upload the application to the current directory of the target computer. Step 1: Click Upload File. A browser window pops up. Step 2: From the pop-up browser window, click Browse to bring up a local file manager.
ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE User’s Manual Web-based Management System Process (Thread) Monitoring/Control At runtime, the target computer manages up to 32 applications that you can monitor and control via the management system. To view current processes, click the Processes item on the main menu bar. You can kill a process by clicking the kill button next to the process name.
A Using the LCM Keypad Appendix A The DA-66X-CE embedded computers implement a set of LCD functions to provide users with on-site parameter readings of the current state of the computer.
