In addition, an API is provided to return a standard copyright string, so that applications may reference the string for licensing purposes.
Boot Loader
The MX9 supports a proprietary boot loader. It is the responsibility of the boot loader to:
•Initialize all system hardware
•Initiate OS startup
•Handle wakeup from system suspend, loading saved state
The MX9 starts the OS every time during warm boot or restart.
Startup Folders and Launch Sequences
The MX9 operating system uses two startup folders:
•User applications placed in the Windows\Startup folder automatically run during a warm boot. They are deleted upon a restart.
•User applications placed in the System\Startup folder automatically run during a warm boot, after a restart and after restoring factory defaults.
Installing Applications
Applications can be installed on the MX9 from CAB files. CAB files are (re)installed after a cold boot, but not after a suspend/ resume since the OS was not reset and the CAB files are still in use. An unsigned executable (CAB or package file) prompts the user when executed:
The program is from an unknown publisher. Running it can possibly harm your device. Do you want to continue?
If you trust the program, tap Yes. Otherwise tap No.
CAB files can be copied to the MX9 via ActiveSync or they can be installed from the Flash card.
