Figure 4.3 Upgrade utility

Note: The difference between NK.NB0 (Compressed) and NK.NB0 (Normal, XIP) : The option “NK.NB0 (Normal, XIP)” means that the nk.nb0 will be upgraded directly to the flash ROM, and “NK.NB0 (Compressed)” means that we compress nk.nb0 first, and then write the compressed data to the flash ROM. :

(1)Boot time : compressed image take more time in system bootup.

(2)IPSM size : compressed OS image would result in larger IPSM size.

Step4. Press ‘Apply’ button on the dialog. Then the items you select will be upgraded to the flash ROM. See Figure 4-4.

Figure 4.4 Press Apply button in order to upgrade onboard flash ROM After the upgrade process done, to power off platform and power on it. On the first time boot, it will take about 1 minute to format the IPSM.

4.4 Utilities

There are several useful utilities added in the standard Windows® CE.NET OS:

4.4.1 Regflash

The utility "Regflash" is a convenient tool to save, overwrite or delete registry data, as well as erase the content of IPSM folder. From the Windows® CE.NET status bar, tap "Start/Run". Use the soft-keyboard to type "regflash" command in the command text box and press "OK". There are four selections here:

Save to Flash, Delete from Flash, Save to CF Disk, Erase IPSM.

Choose the options you want and press "Save" button to proceed. "Save to Flash" option was used to save the registry setting to on board flash ROM. In contrast, "Delete from Flash" option was intended to erase the on board registry data. "Save to CF Disk" option would save the registry data to CompactFlash card as a file "wince.reg". "Erase IPSM" option erase the IPSM region of the on board flash.

Note: Please be careful using this utility "Regflash". This utility is able to overwrite all registry data.
