Software Backup
Application programs and data that are normally RAM resident are backed up via ActiveSync, as
well as being stored on the internal SD card. The operating system is on internal SD card and does
not need backup. Registry configuration is backed up to internal SD card automatically using the
hive registry setup from CE 5.0. Registry backup occurs on every Suspend, WARMBOOT.EXE,
Restart or reboot operation.
Version Control
Version numbers are applied to the boot loader and the OS image independently. The version
information stored consists of the LXE build number, plus the date and time of compile (in lieu of
a build number). These version numbers are stored in non-volatile storage, where the user cannot
inadvertently modify them. A control panel and API is provided so the user can reference the
version numbers for support purposes.
The MX7 has a unique 128-bit ID code as required by the CE 5.0 specification. This ID number is
generated by the boot loader. This ID code is available in the control panel, and via a Win32
standard API.
In addition, an API is provided to return a standard LXE copyright string, so that applications may
reference this to be sure they are running on an LXE mobile device for licensing purposes.
See “Accessories” for the LXE MX7 SDK Kit part number.
