4.6Intel Persistent Storage Manger (IPSM)

4.6.1 Introduction to Intel Persistent Storage Manger

Intel Persistent Storage Manager was designed and developed specifically as an enhancement to Microsoft Windows CE operating systems. IPSM eliminates extra disk-like storage such as storage cards, redundant RAM and ROM.

4.6.2 IPSM folder in SPC Series

SPC uses Intel Persistent Storage Manger to utilize the free space of flash ROM for persistent storage. The IPSM region in the system is located in "\IPSM" directory. Any file or directory stored in "\IPSM" directory would be keep persistently, even if the power of SPC were turned off. The user can store software or data in \IPSM rather in CF card to avoid inconvenience.
