Description

Platform

Application

Contains the files in the Application folder.

PRIMFIRM

Contains the primary radio firmware for the Spectrum24 HR radio card.

Note: These partitions must be loaded to use wireless downloads through IPL with the HR
radio. They are only used by IPL and are not required by the Operating System or the S24 FH
radios.

Note: These partitions must be loaded to use wireless downloads through IPL with the HR
radio. They are only used by IPL and are not required by the Operating System or the S24 FH
radios.

ESSID

Identifies the ESSID, used for wireless downloads.

Note: This partition specifies the ESSID to be used for IPL downloads via all S24 radios. If the
partition is not present, then an ESSID of 101 is assumed. This partition is only used by IPL and
is not required by the Operating System.

Config Block

Contains information to correctly configure the Operating System for the mobile computer. This
information is loaded by the manufacturer.

Note: Great care should be taken to ensure that an incorrect config block is not loaded into the
mobile computer. Loading an incorrect config block prevents the correct operation of the
computer.

Windows CE

Contains the operating system for the mobile computer.

Monitor

Contains the Monitor and IPL programs.

Splash Screen

Contains the splash screen that displays while booting the mobile computer.

Note: Splash screens are generated from .bmp images and must be less than or equal to 240
pixels wide and 296 pixels deep. For mono displays, the bmp image must be 4 bpp and for color
screens the color depth must be 8 bpp. Note: 8 bits per pixel only applies to splash screen
images. Once Windows CE is running, the color density is 16 bits per pixel.

Power Micro

The Power Micro is a small computer contained within the mobile computer that controls
several system resources. In the unlikely event that the Power Micro Firmware needs updating,
selecting this item allows the device to be programmed.

Partition Table

Contains the partition information for all other partitions.

Note: The partition table should never need changing unless the sizes of the platform and
application images are changed within TCM. If this is done, then the new partition table should
be loaded first, followed by both platform and application in any order.
