Manage DDs
Using this feature, you can manage the DD files installed with FDC. A DD file contains descriptive
information about the functionality of a device. By default, a set of DD files are installed with FDC.
However, if you do not have a DD for a given device, you can install it using the “Add DD” feature.
Similarly, you can uninstall a DD file or a set of DD files using “Delete DD” feature. You can also
directly copy the DD files in appropriate hierarchy using a card reader or “Active Sync/Mobile
Device Center” mechanisms. In such a case, you should validate the library view using the “Refresh”
feature.
Overview
Using Manage DDs, you can view, add, or delete DD files for devices. A list of already available DD
files is maintained in the DD Library. FDC lists the installed DD files in a hierarchy as below:
Manufacturer
Device Type
DevRev xx, DDRev yy
DevRev pp, DDRev qq
