The SmartSystems Foundation console can report on asset locations
and battery status, making it easier to manage your devices.
With a Provisioning license, SmartSystems Foundation can
automatically push software, configuration settings, and other files to
connected computers. You can download SmartSystems Foundation
from the Intermec website at no charge. For more information, visit
www.intermec.com/SmartSystems. To purchase a Provisioning
license, contact your local Intermec sales representative.
Develop and Install Applications
Use the Intermec Resource Kits and the CV41 Software Development
Kits to develop applications to run on the computer. The Resource
Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java, and web components grouped by
functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer.
The Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL),
and can be downloaded from the Intermec website at
www.intermec.com/idl.
For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit
Developer Guide.
Package Your Application
For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file
you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to install.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The
computer uses standard Windows CE .cab files and will install
third-party .cab files.
Choose a Target Location
Place your application in any of these memory locations on the
computer:
• The ObjectStore.
• The optional SD card. Depending on available disk space, consider
installing your application files on the SD card. Using a card creates
the Storage Card folder on the computer.
• The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the
Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot.
