Developing Applications for the CN4

Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the

CN4. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java, and web

components grouped by functionality that you can use to create

applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the

Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the

Intermec website at www.intermec.com/idl.

For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource

Kit Developer’s Guide.

Packaging Your Application

For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file

you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to

install.

For Windows Mobile applications, Intermec recommends creating a

.cab file to install your application. The CN4 uses standard Windows

Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files.

Choosing a Target Location for the Application

You can have your .cab file place your application in any of these

memory locations on the CN4:

• The ObjectStore, which is RAM that looks like a disk.

• The optional miniSD card. Depending on available disk space, you

may want to consider installing your application files on the

miniSD card. Using a card creates the Storage Card folder on the

CN4.

• The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the

Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot.

Note: The Flash File Store may be erased if you reflash the image.
