4-2-2 Overwrite Factory Default Architecture Introduction: The Manufacturer provides a mechanism to merge the OEM application and OEM specific settings into WindowCE operating system during booting phase. This feature can make OEM stuffs as system default components. There are many benefits for device maintenance. It is a valuable feature for OEM doesn’t have to reinstall OEM programs after end user reset the device to factory default mode. This benefit also helps to reduce the RMA cost from OEM vender.
Merge an application program into default operating system by using the OEM Device Manager Example: - For Auto-running the OEM application at booting phase of user mode when after reset to factory default. 1. 2. 3. 4. Create a file directory “GHARST” in root folder of SD card. Change into “GHART” folder to create directory “Windows”. Change into “Windows” folder to create directory “StartUp_”. Copy the OEM application file into “Windows->StartUp_” folder.
remove the registry key is to put empty to the key value in the config file. System.cfg – Using for early registry initialization stage at booting phase. Oem.cfg – Using for system registry initialization stage at booting phase. - Example: Overwrite the factory default backlight level setting. 1. 2. 3. Create a file directory “GHARST” in root folder of SD card. Change into “GHART” folder to create directory “configfiles”. Prepare the oem.cfg config file by text editor.

4-2-3 Vibration notification feature This device is designed with a vibration motor for notification. The driver follows the LED driver architecture of WindowCE. This architecture uses WindowCE NLED standard API for application development. Data Structure introduction struct NLED_SETTINGS_INFO { UINT LedNum; INT OffOnBlink; LONG TotalCycleTime; LONG OnTime; LONG OffTime; INT MetaCycleOn; INT MetaCycleOff; }; LedNum LED number. Virbrator is zero (0). OffOnBlink Current setting.
Example code #include "stdafx.h" NLED_SETTINGS_INFO ledSettingsInfo = { 0 }; void SetVibratorOn(void) { ledSettingsInfo.LedNum = 0; ledSettingsInfo.
