Dolphin Utilities

A number of utilities are provided with your Dolphin terminal. The Utility programs

are installed in the c:\dolphin\utils directory on your computer.

BMP2LCD.EXE

BMP2LCD.EXE is a Windows tool that allows developers to create a bitmap data

structure from a standard Windows™ bitmap. The bitmap can then be displayed

using a Dolphin Developers API function such as evDrawUserBitMap().


BURN.EXE

BURN.EXE is a Dolphin utility, which will load or reload the Dolphin’s Boot Loader.

The Boot Loader is an Xmodem communications utility used by the Dolphin OS to

load or update the BIOS and Operating System (ROM image). To load or reload the

Dolphin’s Boot Loader:

1.

Transfer BURN.EXE and BOOTLDR.BIN to the Dolphin’s FLASH

Drive C:.

2.

Execute BURN.EXE. The OS Boot Loader is updated and the files BURN.EXE

and BOOTLDR.BIN are deleted.
