PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide can not be corrupted by a hard reset. This Flash area is divided into two categories: Flash File System (FFS) Partitions and Non-FFS Partitions. FFS Partitions The terminal includes two FFS partitions. These partitions appear to the terminal as a hard drive that the OS file system can write files to and read files from. Data is retained even if power is removed.
Customizing Your Terminal Since the registry is re-created on every hard reset from the default ROM image, the RegMerge driver is necessary to make registry modifications persistent over hard resets. Regmerge is configured to look in two specific folders for .reg files in the following order: \Platform \Application Regmerge continues to look for .reg files in these folders until all folders are checked. This allows folders later in the list to override folders earlier in the list.
PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide Non-FFS Partitions Non-FFS Partitions include additional software and data pre-loaded on your terminal that can be upgraded. Unlike FFS Partitions, these partitions are not visible when the operating system is running. They also contain system information.

PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide 11-2
Configuring the Terminal Introduction This chapter describes the Terminal Configuration Manager (TCM), and how it is used to specify and load files into the flash memory of the terminal using the terminal’s Initial Program Loader (IPL). In TCM, you create a script that contains the information (commands to copy files) for building the image. TCM works with directory windows which display the directory structure of your script and the source directories, files, and scripts from which you pull components.
PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide Starting Terminal Configuration Manager To start TCM, double click on the TCM icon in the SYMSDK group. The following screen appears, displaying two directory windows; Script1 and File Explorer. Each directory window is split; the left half (or pane) of the window displays the directory tree for the current drive, and the right half displays the directory contents for the current drive.
Configuring the Terminal The following table lists the components of the TCM start-up screen. Table 11-1. TCM Screen Components Component Description Script Window Associated with a script file containing the information to create a Flash Disk image. This window is the target window, or the primary TCM window in which you can create a script or change a script file’s contents by copying, deleting, and renaming files and directories. More than one script window can be open at a time.
PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide Defining Script Properties Before a script is created, the script properties must be defined. This defines the type of terminal, flash type, number of disks being created, and the memory configuration of each disk volume. To define the script properties: 1. With TCM open, click on the Script Window to make it the active window. 2. Under the Script menu, select the Properties option. OR Click on from the tool bar. The Script Properties window displays. 3.
Configuring the Terminal Note: The options available under the disks drop-down menu changes depending on the flash type. Some flash types only have one option for the number of disk volumes, others have two options. 6. If you have selected three volumes under the Disk drop-down menu, you have the option to change the memory configuration of the second and third volumes. To do so, click on the up or down arrow for either of the volumes, until the memory configuration of each is set to the desired value.
PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide Creating the Script for the Hex Image On start-up, TCM displays the screen shown on page 11-4, with the Script1 window and File Explorer window. The Script1 Window directory pane displays three volumes: Volume1, Volume2, and Volume3. Depending on the type of flash chip you have, the number of volumes may change. Files can be added to each of the volumes.
Configuring the Terminal 3. Click on the file(s) and/or directory in File Explorer. Note: Optionally, use the standard Windows Shift+Left-click and Control+Left-click features to select multiple files and directories. 4. Drag and drop the selected file(s) and/or directory from File Explorer to the target directory in the Script Window, OR Click on the target directory and select the File Explorer Copy icon from the toolbar. Save the Script To save the changes to a new script: 1.
PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide Building the Image As part of the build, TCM performs a check on the script which verifies that all files referenced in the script exist. If the image is bootable, TCM verifies that the boot files are available. Note: Performing a check is more important for previously existing scripts to ensure that files referenced in the script are still in the designated locations. To check a script: 1. In the Script Window, select the script. 2.
Configuring the Terminal 3. Select the item to build. If you select to build an application, specify the application. 4. Select ASCII format for your hex image, or Compression, which reduces the size of most hex images in order to speed downloading. 5. Click OK. 6. TCM performs a check. If the script has no errors, TCM proceeds with the build. If the Build Fails If the build fails, TCM displays a message indicating which file(s) are missing.
PDT 8000 Series Product Reference Guide Sending the Hex Image Once the hex file is built, you are ready to download it to the terminal. A Hex image download requires both TCM and a program loader stored on the terminal. The terminal comes with a program loading utility, Initial Program Loader (IPL), stored in the terminal’s write-protected flash. To run IPL, the terminal must be inserted in a cradle or connected to a development PC by direct serial connection.
