File: Turning your device into a Flash Light - HOW TO

Jacques Gourmelen — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:57:00 GMT

Application overview:

The attached VS2008 solution, which embeds a C++ and a C# project, illustrates how to programmatically turn your device into a Flash Light by simply switching and keeping on the built-in Flash.

Supported OS / devices:

Omnii™ RT15/XT15 devices equipped with a built-in Camera & Flash.

& As it stands, this solution references our Imager SDK version 17.0, which supports the latest versions of Omnii™ RT15/XT15 only:

Windows Embedded Handheld version 3.0.29774 or later
Windows CE 6.0 version 4.0.29702 or later

If you wish to deploy this solution against other devices also equipped with a built-in Camera & Flash, please use and reference ICS version 16.0 instead.

File: MDSDK 6.0 - Libraries, Headers and Source Code

Steven Cox — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:44:00 GMT

Getting Started

IngenuityWorking's Knowledge Base contains several articles on setting up development environments and other tricks for general hand held development: http://community.psion.com/knowledge/w/knowledgebase/development-kits-and-environments.aspx

Who needs this Version?

WLANEx API users for the VH10 and VH10f Vehicle Mount

VH10 Vehicle Mount Announcement

The new vehicle mounts may contain a new version of the Summit Radio Client, which requires a newer version of the Summit SDK (provided within the WLANEx Summit namespace). Thus, if you wish to programmatically control the WiFi connection for the VH10, you'll need MDSDK 6.0. Otherwise, previous versions of the MDSDK (5.0 - 5.4) should work as expected.

What’s New?

New internal Summit (PtxSummit) implementation

See the post above in "Who needs this Version?"

"PtxSdkCommon.dll" renamed to "mdsdkcore.dll"

As part of the rebranding process and to avoid future conflicts with applications that use older versions of the MDSDK, this DLL was renamed to mdsdkcore.dll.

Applications using the MDSDK won't need to be recompiled unless they reference exported functions from the PtxSdkCommon DLL directly.

Please note the changes for Using and Deploying Psion DLLs

Added 'SHIFT' table support to KeyRemapper

On the EP10 short numeric variant, some key combinations are only available via SHIFT-key (certain function keys). We've added the SHIFT table to the MDSDK Keyboard namespace to allow users to programmatically affect these states.

Added EAPTTLS support to the Summit WLANEx namespace

Currently only implemented for the PtxSummit interface.

What’s Being Removed?

Wakeup sources for Accelerometer and Gyroscope

To utilize the wakeup capability of these features, see the following demo project on IngenuityWorking: Advanced Sensors SDK (DEMO)

Some old lingering RFID code was also removed.

What’s Being Deprecated?

The RAS .NET API

Microsoft's introduction of the Connection Manager API has superseded the RAS API for use in network connections.

What doesn’t work (limitations)?

WLANEx's GetCurrentInterfaceType() API on the latest Omnii build

Omnii build version 4.0.29702

The API will constantly return 'Summit'(SCU) mode despite the fact that no Summit radio exists on the Omnii. To workaround the issue, remove the following registry keys and reboot:

[ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Comm \ SDCCF10G ]

and

[ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Comm \ SDCCF10G1 ]

WLANEx's IsWirelessAdapter() API doesn't always indicate that an 802.11 radio is a 'wireless' card
Java's setEnableHardware() API doesn't work on Windows Mobile 6.x based devices
Programmers are unable to affect the state of 'modifier' keys within the context of the callback function

File: How to programmatically clear the File Explorer most recently used path list

Jacques Gourmelen — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:15:00 GMT

Forewords

As you may have noticed, everytime a drive mapping definition is added (see this post for further details), this entry gets automatically added to the File Explorer Open Path menu option

E.g.

[...]

So far so good, would you say, but unfortunately there is no easy way to clear that path list...

Application Overview

The attached Visual Studio 2008 C++ project sample illustrates how to clear that path list.

To do so, this solution

Closes File Explorer [1], if it is currently running
Erases all path entries from the device registry [2] and
clears the below described "MRUList" registry value data
Restarts File Explorer, if it was initally running.

vvvv

[1] File Explorer must be closed before erasing all path entries from the device registry,
otherwise, the path list will not be cleared.

[2] Path entries are identified in the below "MRUList" registry value:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\File Explorer\DialogMRU]
"MRUList" REG_SZ "..."

For example:

"MRUList" REG_SZ "cba"
"c"       REG_SZ "\\computer3\share"
"b"       REG_SZ "\\computer2\share"
"a"       REG_SZ "\\computer1\share"

Supported devices

Windows Mobile 5.0
Windows Mobile 6.x Classic and Professional
Windows Embedded Handheld

Executable

File: Summit - Retrieving the Access Point name in .NET - HOW TO?

Jacques Gourmelen — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:05:00 GMT

Application overview:

This attached VS2008 .NET solution illustrates how to programmatically retrieve the name ( & ) of the Access Point the Summit Wi-Fi radio is currently connected to.

As our Mobile Devices SDK WLanEx namespace does not currently allow retrieving such information, the attached solution embeds an extra library - I.e. the SummitStatus.dll file - that exports the single Summit_APName() function, which will simply need to be p/invoked within your .NET solution.

Supported OS / devices:

Any Windows CE or Windows Mobile 6.x devices equipped with a Summit Wi-Fi radio

As depicted below, the attached VS2008 solution embeds 2 projects, which - I believe - have self explanatory names

vvvv

& Such information is also accessible via the Summit Client Utility Status tabulation.

File: Launching Regfile in silent mode

Jacques Gourmelen — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:50:00 GMT

Application overview:

The attached Windows CE 5.0 executables will allow you to silently Export or Import registry data

Syntax goes as follows:

ExportReg <absolute path [1] + file name>
ImportReg <absolute path [1] + file name>

E.g.

In short, the ExportReg and ImportReg executables call the \Windows\Regfile.exe program and automatically hide the below dialog boxes, the Regfile program normally brings up upon execution:

File: Omnii - Backup and Restore Utility

Jacques Gourmelen — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:26:00 GMT

Application overview

As the latest Omnii OS CE 6.0 and WEH images (version 4.0.29702 and 3.0.29774 respectively) require the Omnii built-in Flash Disk store to be formatted during the installation process, the attached utility may become handy as it will automatically:

Backup all the data sitting on the Omnii Flash Disk store [to an external storage media].
Let the unit enter into BooSt mode to allow the upgrade process to start and finally
Restore the Omnii Flash Disk store as the OS upgrade completes.

vvvv

Prerequisite

In order to use this utility, you will need the following equipment

A Docking Station (Part No ST4002 or ST4003) or a Snap Module (Part No ST4001)
A USB Memory Stick, which you will connect to the Docking Station or Snap Module

vvvv

Installation procedure

Download, save and decompress the file attached to this post
Copy the Autorun.exe program to the USB Memory stick

- to the \2577 folder, if your Omnii is a WEH 6.5.3 device
- to the \3080 folder, if your Omnii is a Windows CE 6.0 device

Copy the Omnii Operating System image file to the root of the USB Memory stick and make sure it is named 7545os.img.

The USB Memory stick structure should look as follows:

WEH 6.5.3	Windows CE 6.0
\ │ ├─ 2577 │ │ │ └─ Autorun.exe │ └─ 7545os.img	\ │ ├─ 3080 │ │ │ └─ Autorun.exe │ └─ 7545os.img

vvvv

Use

Connect the USB Memory Stick to the Docking Station or Snap Module
Close all applications on the Omnii device
Mount the Omnii device in to the Docking Station or Snap Module

At this point, the Backup and Restore Utility – I.e. the Autorun.exe program – will automatically run and launch the backup process:

Do not interrupt the process and/or dismount the unit!

As the backup completes, the device will enter into BooSt mode and the new OS installation will automatically start.

Upon OS installation and load completion, the Backup and Restore Utility will automatically rerun and launch the restore process:

At this point click Exit to close the Backup and Restore Utility program.

vvvv

& Note:

Backup and restore operation results are stored in the « Omnii Backup and Restore Utility.txt » log file, located on the root of the USB Memory Stick.

If something fails, please refer to this log file as it will provide you with further information.

If interested, here is a copy of the Omnii Backup and Restore Utility source code
