Application Folder
The Application folder is a super-persistent storage that is persistent even after a clean boot. Accessing data in
the Application folder is slower than accessing persistent storage. The Application folder is used for
deployment and device-unique data. For example, network profiles can be stored in the Application folder so
that connection to the network is available after a cold boot. The Application folder is approximately 20 MB
(formatted).
System Configuration Manager
Symbol Configuration Manager (SCM) is a utility that runs on the development computer and is used to create
configuration files. These files, when deployed to an EDA, set configuration parameters for that device. The
configurable options for a EDA are defined in an XML file that is available on the Support Central for that EDA.
SCM is also available on Support Central.
SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.
File Types
SCM uses three types of files:
•
Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable parameters for a
device.
•
Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.
•
CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file
is downloaded to the EDA and merged upon a cold boot.
User Interface
SCM's user interface consists of a tree control on the left side of the window which displays all the
configuration categories, and a data grid table on the right which displays all the configurable controls for the
selected category. Figure 4-1 shows the main window for a device’s .sct file.
