MC9000-K/S for Embedded Windows® CE .NE T Product Referenc e Guide 10-10 Building the Image Once the script is created, the hex image defined by the script can be built. As part of the build, TCM perfo rms a check on the sc ript which verifies that all files referenc ed in the script exist.
Mobile Comp uter Configur ation 10-11 If one of the partitions being built is the E SSID, a prompt appears requesting the ESSID value. Deselect the HR (High Rate) check box when building ESSID images for a device with an FH radio.
MC9000-K/S for Embedded Windows® CE .NE T Product Referenc e Guide 10-12 The mobile computer must be inserted in the cradle or attached to the CAM, both with their appropriate po wer supplies connected to a power so urce, for the mobile computer to reset into IPL.

Mobile Comp uter Configur ation 10-27 Flash Storage In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Wi ndows CE te rminals, the mobile c omputer is also equipped with a non-volatile Flash-based storage area which can store data (p artitions) that can not be corrupted by a cold boot.
MC9000-K/S for Embedded Windows® CE .NE T Product Referenc e Guide 10-28 RegMerge.dll RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows registry edits to be made to the Wind ows CE Registry . Regmerge.dll runs very early in the boot process and l ooks for registry files (.
Mobile Comp uter Configur ation 10-29 CopyFiles Windows CE expects certain files to be in the Wi ndows folder , residing in volatile storage. Windows CE maintains the System Registry in volatile storage. CopyFile s copies files from one folder to another on a cold boot.
MC9000-K/S for Embedded Windows® CE .NE T Product Referenc e Guide 10-30 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen ima ges. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel.
Mobile Comp uter Configur ation 10-31 Partition images for selected partitions can be created by TCM. All partition images suitable for use by IPL are in hex file format for transfer by TCM from the dev elopment computer to the mobile computer .
