    hello

    we build the image using platform builder4.2 and dowonload on flash of LH7A400-10 Zoom SDK using serial port.this image will appear every time turn on.using active sync, we place our custom application which is developed by visual studio.net on mobile devices of development workstation using active sync via USB.This application can be run on SDK well untill reset.when we switch off or reset the device, the application is not available to us.Only OS image is appear.

    we didn't directly deploy application with the activesync.we build the application using visual studio.net and copy this 'bin' file to the My document of Mobile devices folder of the development workstation using active sync.Is this the reason for above mentioned problem.

    what will do permenant existence of custom application in the
    developed os image?.

    we want launch our custom build application during boot time.
    Please give me information about this?.


    thanks & regards

    Your application is put into RAM when you do this. Thus, when you reset power, the app is going to be gone. You have a couple of choices;

    1) Add the application into your image
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceosdev5/html/wce50conmodulessection.asp

    2) Put the application in non-volatile memory file system.
    - CF card
    - USB H memory stick
    - Flash File System (YAFFS, Flash FX, .etc)

    Hello,

    Thans for your valuable information. I am decided to use the onboard flash to store my serial port application permanently.From logic's websire i found that is better to use lpd_MSFLASHFMD Driver with the LH7A400-10 card engine(am I correct?).From the document,i tried this for both RAM image and also for RELOCATE_FROM_FLASH image.In both of these two,when device booted, there is no folder named NOR_FLASH in My computer directory.I include

    under file system and data store

    File and database replication-bit based
    file system internal -rom and ram file system
    registry storage -ram based registry
    storage manager -FAT file system

    adding the lpd_MSFLASHFMD Driver

    ( i am also try this with & without PCMCIA driver)
    in the platform builder4.2.


    But under the control panel storage manager icon is available with 0 byte capacity and format options are all in inactive state.

    Is anything i missed in platformbuilder?Is anything should be changed in registy file of the lpd_MSFLASHFMD driver.If it is Plese give me step by step detail.I check the registry for this driver with logic's document and both are same.

    please give me your suggestions as early as possible.

    Thanks & Regards
