Version Control
Version Control
Version numbers are applied to the boot loader and the OS image independently. The version information stored consists of the
LXE build number, plus the date and time of compile (in lieu of a build number). These version numbers are stored in non-
volatile storage, where the user cannot inadvertently modify them. A Settings panel and API are provided so the user can
reference the version numbers for support purposes.
The MX7 Tecton has a unique 128-bit ID code as required by the Windows Mobile specification. This ID number is generated
by the boot loader. This ID code is available in the About LXE settings panel, and via a Win32 standard API.
In addition, an API is provided to return a standard LXE copyright string, so that applications may reference this to be sure they
are running on an LXE mobile device for licensing purposes.
Boot Loader
The MX7 Tecton supports a proprietary boot loader. It is the responsibility of the boot loader to:
l Initialize all system hardware
l Initiate OS startup
l Handle wakeup from system suspend, loading saved state
The MX7 Tecton starts the OS every time during suspend/resume or cold boot.
Startup Folders and Launch Sequences
The MX7 Tecton operating system uses two startup folders:
l User applications placed in the Windows\Startup folder automatically run during a reboot. They are deleted upon a clean
boot.
l User applications placed in the System folder automatically run during a reboot.
