File System Directory Structure
The mobile computer directory structure displays all of the file folders. The pre-installed folders are in flash file system memory and
optional removable storage devices (SD storage cards).
Figure 1-14. Mobile Computer Directory Structure
•
Application and Platform folders are located in flash file system memory.
•
The Windows, Program Files, profiles, and My Documents folders are composites, RAM based folders generated from ROM.
•
The Network folder is a link to file systems mapped using the network re-director. The files do not physically reside on the
mobile computer.
•
The Temp and Recycled folders typically contain RAM based files.
All files copied to the RAM based folders are lost after a cold boot.
Flash Storage
In addition to the RAM based storage the mobile computer is also equipped with a non-volatile flash based storage area which can
store data (partitions) that can not be corrupted by a cold boot. See
for a detailed discussion.
Launching Applications
The Application/Startup folder is used to launch programs automatically when the mobile computer is powered on or after a warm
or cold boot.
The Windows/Startup folder is not supported.
There are two ways to launch programs automatically:
1.
Place the executable in the Startup folder (located in the Application folder).
2.
Place a .run file in the Startup folder. A .run file is a simple text file that contains the path to an application as well as the
name of the application to run.
Refer to the SMDK Help File included with the SMDK for more information on the Startup folder.
