413Developing and Installing ApplicationsUse this chapter to understand the guidelines for developing applications for use on the CN50. This chapter contains these sections:•Developing Applications for the Computer•Installing Applications on the Computer•Upgrading the System Software
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications42 CN50 Mobile Computer User’s ManualDeveloping Applications for the ComputerUse the Intermec Resource Kits to develop new applications to run on the CN50. The Resource Kits are a library of components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide (P/N 934-006-xxx).Installing Applications on the ComputerThere are several ways you can install applications on your mobile computer:•You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.•If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver the .exe file.•You can copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The mobile computer uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place your application in any of these memory locations on the mobile computer: •The Object Store or the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset, although it might be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you have the option to store persistent registry information to the Flash File Store region.•The optional microSD card. If you are using a microSD card, this should be the primary location to place application installation files. The microSD card creates the Storage Card folder on the CN50.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing ApplicationsCN50 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 43•The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are “ready-to-run” when you perform a clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing.Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate location. You can find information about this system in the Intermec Developer’s Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer’s Guide which is available from www.intermec.com/idl. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.There are several ways you can install files and applications on the computer:•SmartSystems console•ActiveSync•microSD card•Wavelink AvalancheThe following sections explain how to use each one of these processes to install your application on the computer.Installing Applications Using SmartSystems FoundationYour CN50 is SmartSystems-enabled, which lets you use the SmartSystems console to install Intermec applications on your CN50. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation. For more information, go to the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. To install an application using the SmartSystems console1Download the application to your PC.2Double-click the application. The application appears in the SmartSystems console in the Software Vault.3Drag the application to each CN50 in your network or to a group of CN50 in a folder.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications44 CN50 Mobile Computer User’s ManualInstalling Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSyncYou can send applications from your PC to your CN50 using Microsoft ActiveSync. To install an application using Microsoft ActiveSync1On your PC, copy the .cab file you want to download to your CN50.2Create an ActiveSync connection between your PC and CN50. For help, see “Connecting the CN50 to a PC” on page 26.3Click Explore. The Mobile Device window opens.4Double-click My Windows Mobile-Based Device.5Navigate to the folder you want to copy the .cab file to, and paste the .cab file in the folder.6Clean boot the CN50. For help, see “Clean Booting the CN50” on page 58.7On your CN50, tap Start > Programs > File Explorer and navigate to the location of the .cab file.8Tap the .cab file to install it.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing ApplicationsCN50 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 45Installing Applications Using a microSD CardUsing a microSD card is the best method for installing applications.To install applications using the microSD card1Suspend the CN50 and remove the microSD card.2Insert the microSD card into a microSD adapter card and then place it in the storage card reader connected to your PC.3Copy your application file to the microSD card.4Remove the microSD card from the adapter card and insert it into the CN50.5On your CN50, navigate to the storage card folder and run your application.Installing Applications Using Wavelink AvalancheYou can use the Wavelink Avalanche device management system to install applications on all of your wireless CN50s. The CN50 ships with the Avalanche Enabler already loaded on it.Each time the Avalanche Enabler is activated (typically on a reset), the CN50 attempts to connect to the Avalanche Agent. When the CN50 connects to the agent, the agent determines whether an update is available and immediately starts the software upgrade, file transfer, or configuration update. To use Avalanche to remotely manage the CN501Install software packages and updates for the CN50 using the Avalanche Administrative console.2Schedule the CN50 updates or manually initiate an update using the Avalanche Administrative console.For more information on using Wavelink Avalanche, contact your local Intermec representative or visit the Wavelink web site at www.wavelink.com.Note: If you manually activate the Avalanche Enabler on the CN50, you may be prompted for a password when you exit the Avalanche Enabler. The default password is leave.
Chapter 3 — Developing and Installing Applications46 CN50 Mobile Computer User’s ManualUpgrading the System SoftwareWhen you upgrade your computer, you are updating the operating system (OS) and the SmartSystems Platform Bundle (SSPB) files.The SSPB files are stored on the DiskOnChip and deliver Intermec Value Add (IVA) functionality such as data collection, configuration, the Intermec wireless security suite, and SmartSystems Foundation. As new features are added to these components, you can upgrade your SSPB files without needing to upgrade the operating system. Alternately, you can choose to upgrade only the operating system if you need new functionality.
