Forum Post: RE: Identify type of reboot

Jacques Gourmelen — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:15:00 GMT

Good morning Advin,

Detecting Boot States on Psion Devices can be done via IOTCL calls:

// Determine if the last boot was a coldboot
// in : 0
// out: 1(TRUE) if the last boot was a cold boot, 0(FALSE) if not
#define IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_HAL, \
                                        0xFFE, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS)

// Determine if the unit should perform the AutoRestore feature if a
// clone/auto-restore profile is detected.
// in : 0
// out: 1(TRUE) if the unit should perform AutoRestore for Total Recall,
//      0(FALSE) if not (typically on Hive based systems)
#define IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_HAL, \
                                          0xFFD, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS)

Windows CE 5.0 (Object Store/RAM based operating systems):

warm boot è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = FALSE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = TRUE
cold boot è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = TRUE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = TRUE
clean start è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = TRUE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = FALSE

Windows CE 6.0 (Persistant Storage, with warm/cold boot options)

warm boot è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = FALSE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = FALSE
cold boot è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = TRUE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = FALSE
clean start è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = TRUE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = TRUE

Windows Mobile 6.x (Persistant storage, no notion of warm/cold boot... only reboot)

warm/cold boot è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = TRUE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = FALSE
clean start è IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT = TRUE, IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE = TRUE

E.g.

DWORD IsBoostStateSetToCleanStart(BOOL *bBoostStateIsSetToCleanStart)
{
      BOOL bIsColdBoot = FALSE;
      BOOL bDoAutoRestore = FALSE;
      DWORD dwRet = ERROR_SUCCESS;

      DWORD dwBytesReturned = 0;
      if (!KernelIoControl(IOCTL_PTX_DO_AUTORESTORE, 0, 0, &bDoAutoRestore, sizeof(bDoAutoRestore), &dwBytesReturned))
      {
            dwRet = GetLastError();
      }
      else
      {
            dwBytesReturned = 0;
            if (!KernelIoControl(IOCTL_PTX_IS_COLDBOOT, 0, 0, &bIsColdBoot, sizeof(bIsColdBoot), &dwBytesReturned))
            {
                  dwRet = GetLastError();
            }
      }

      *bBoostStateIsSetToCleanStart = bIsColdBoot & bDoAutoRestore;

      return dwRet;
}

I do hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Jacques

Steven Cox — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:40:00 GMT

After review, I don't believe that you need to use Hdk7545_SetPower to use the UART off the Expansion port (which expansion port are you using?), but I'm not certain it will work properly unless you use create a peripheral driver, which requires the use of an EEPROM.

Steven Cox — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:09:00 GMT

[quote user="robymun"]

with this control is a good idea to upgrade Imager_Installer to solve this problem ?

[/quote]

No, not necessarily. That control uses DirectShow to manipulate the camera. The Imager_Installer 16.0 refers to using ICS for camera control, which is completly different.

As mentioned above, I would recommend starting a trouble ticket with Help Desk.

You may also want to try taking pictures with the 'Pictures and Videos' and see if that works. Try it the same amount of times you used CameraCtrlPtx, and see if you can generate the error.

Paul Hedley — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:05:00 GMT

Hi Ew,

I can not see information in the netlog files that help me identify what the problem is. You could try installing the most recent software, but it is hard to say if it will fix the problem.

Do you use the XT15s with desktop docks or with quad docks?
Have you tried changing the IE configuration for Tools >> Options >> Other >> Browse webistes as 'Mobile Device'?
Have you tried changing the IE configuration for Tools >> Options >> Privacey and Security >> 'Enable scripts' to disable?

It would also be helpful if you could run a netlog debug and capture the problem happening. Make sure you stop the netlog before you copy the log file from the XT15.

Forum Post: EP10 In Vehicle Charging - Powered Vehicle Dock

james.comley@heaveyrf.com — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:32:00 GMT

Is there a solution to hard wire the EP10 powered vehicle cradle to the mains supply on a customer vehicle?

Currently the only solution i can see on the Psion price list is with "Cable Vehicle Cradle Vehicle Power Adapter (CLA for cradle) - RV3050" and a cigerette extension cable RV1205.

if you could provide an alternative solution including part numbers it would be appreciated.

I am not aware of any working solution in UK? 7535G2 and OmniXT15 are the recommended products for the fork lift/warehousing applications. Also 7535G2 and Omni port ruplicators does support the external scanner.

Jacques Gourmelen — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:17:00 GMT

Anton,

The difficulty you ran into, which, by the way, I also observed while using CrEme 4.12, seems to be JVM related.

Indeed, as depicted below, the [discontinued] Jeode JVM and IBM J9 JVM did not exhibit such problem

Jeode JVM IBM J9

Let me further discuss this matter internally and let you know what could be done from our end (if anything).

Kind regards,
Jacques

[quote user="coffeenkfc"]What kind of goodness is in the add on CAB?[/quote]

The Add-On CAB adds numerous [Psion proprietary] extras, which do not / cannot de-facto come with the Windows Mobile 6.x core OS, such as specific control panels, the Scanner Control Services (the one that caused you grief), etc.

This Add-On CAB comes pre-installed when units leave our manufacturing plants

This said, please bear in mind that an Add-On CAB file needs to be (re-)installed every time the Windows Mobile 6.x

OS is upgraded
device is clean started (reset to factory default)
Feel free to take a peek at the « Reset » knowledge base article for further info about performing a clean start and its effects.

Forum Post: RE: Code Sample for PtxRemoteSock.dll on NB Terminal

mjbrandys — Thu, 09 May 2013 03:27:00 GMT

thanks Steven

I have looked at this post and another that give some hints on how this is done. (as below)

http://community.psion.com/discussions/f/160/p/12793/43517.aspx#43517

http://community.psion.com/discussions/f/160/t/12915.aspx

I have a lot of code that uses .NET that calls webservices on various terminals, I have never attempted to use the Remote Socket API.

If there is is some real working code that I can borrow, then this will improve my chances of getting this working.

My task is further complicated by not currently having a narrow band terminal, (my customer is in Europe). So I am not able to simulate the remote socket call. (Not sure if this can be simulated, where I could call the proxy running on the 9510 software). I am attempting to cobble together a NB test environment.

Forum Post: RE: Use PCB from RS232 Snap On to connect through USB

Steven Cox — Thu, 09 May 2013 03:09:00 GMT

I guess it would be possible. You would just follow the schematic of the USB SnapOn when designing around the current RS232 components.

It would seem easier, from my point of view, to use the Development Board discussed in our other thread and start fresh, using the USB SnapOn as a template.

Hi Jacques,

many thanks for this.

Here is my code:

      public void DisableScreenRotate()
        {
            PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation o = new PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation();
            o.CurrentAutoRotateBehavior = PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation.AutoRotateBehavior.Off;
            o.CurrentOrientation = PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation.Orientations.Orient0Degrees;
        }

        public void EnableScreenRotate()
        {
            PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation o = new PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation();
            o.CurrentAutoRotateBehavior = PsionTeklogix.Display.Orientation.AutoRotateBehavior.All;
        }

Also calling the .cpl file is great idea :)
