Building the Image
Once the script is created, the hex image defined by the script can be built.
As part of the build, TCM performs a check on the script which verifies that all files referenced in the script exist. This check is
important for previously created scripts to ensure that files referenced in the script are still in the designated locations.
The mobile computer communication must be established and external power must be provided, before
resetting the mobile computer into IPL.
To build an image:
1. Click Build on the TCM toolbar. The Configure Build window appears.
Figure 6-5. Configure Build Window
2. Select the items (partitions) to build using the check box(es) to the left of each named partition. The Build Path defines where
to store all built partitions.
3. Select (hex image) Compression to reduce the size and speed up the download.
4. Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
If one of the partitions being built is the Splash Screen, a prompt appears requesting both the source bitmap file and the
destination HEX file.
5. A check is performed and if there are no errors, the partition hex files are created.
If the build fails, the hex files are not be created and TCM displays an error message. Two of the most common reasons for a build
failure are:
• Files defined in the script can not be found. This error can occur when the files referenced by the script are no longer stored
on the development computer or the folders where they are stored were renamed.
• The total amount of flash memory space required by the script exceeds the image size. To correct this, reduce the number
of files in the partition or increase the size of the partition. See
Defining Script Properties on page 6-6 for more information
about setting the image size appropriately.
