Chapter 4 Software Installation on
Development PC
Introduction
To develop applications to run on the mobile computer, use one or all of the following:
• Symbol Mobility Developer Kit (SMDK) for Embedded Visual C 4.0 (eVC4) for Win CE 4.2
• Symbol Mobility Developer Kit (SMDK) for C for both WinCE 4.2 and Win CE 5.0
• Windows CE Platform SDK for MC1000
• Device Configuration Package (DCP) for MC1000.
The SMDKs are development tools used to create native C and C++ applications for all Zebra mobile computers. It
includes documentation, header files (.H), and library files (.LIB) for native code application development that
targets Zebra value-add APIs.
The Windows CE Platform SDK for the MC1000 is used in conjunction with the SMDK for eVC4 to create Windows
CE applications for the MC1000 mobile computer. The Platform SDK installs a new Windows CE device type and
its associated libraries onto the development PC. This new device is added to the Active WCE Configuration field
of Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (eVC4).
The Device Configuration Package (DCP) is required to create and download hex images that represent flash
partitions to the mobile computer. The DCP includes the user documentation, flash partitions, Terminal
Configuration Manager (TCM) and the associated TCM scripts, and Zebra Configuration Manager (SCM).
Required System Configurations
The minimum system configuration required to use the SMDKs for MC1000 is:
• IBM-compatible host computer with Pentium 450 MHz processor or higher
• Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system
• 128 MB RAM
• 100 MB available hard disk space
• CD-ROM drive
