Lenovo ThinkPad SL300 - Manual (Page 157)

The only requirement related to the preparation of mini-applications is that you must copy all of the
mini-application files into the root folder of your device-driver source files.
Requirements for preparing device-driver files for modules
The following are the only requirements for preparing the device-driver source files to be made into a module:
• The device driver must be in a ready-to-install format. It cannot require an unpacking process.
• The device-driver files must be placed in a dedicated folder on a drive that is accessible by the ImageUltra
Builder console.
• The device-driver folder structure must be maintained.
When the source files meet these requirements, you can set the attributes for the new device-driver module.
Setting the attributes for a new device-driver module
The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new device-driver module without using
an existing module as a template. If you want to set the attributes for a new module to match the attributes
of an existing module, see “Setting the attributes based on an existing device-driver module” on page 145.
To set the attributes for a new device-driver module, do the following:
1. Open the repository where you want the new device-driver module to reside.
2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where you want the new device-driver module
to reside.
3. From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Device Driver.... The New Module Wizard
opens.
4. Click Next.
5. Verify that the Device Driver radio button is selected, and then click Next.
6. In the Name field, type a name that you want to use to identify this module. Be as specific as possible.
This name will be the name that appears in the repository.
7. Click the No radio button to indicate that this module is not a container.
8. Click Next.
9. Click Next without selecting any of the modules that are listed.
10. Click Finish. The New Module Wizard closes and the Device Driver window for the new module opens.
11. In the General tab, do the following:
a. In the Version field, type the full version of the device driver.
b. In the Family field, use the drop-down menu to select the type of device for which this device driver
is designed.
c. If you want to assign a password to this module, type an encryption key in the “Encryption key for
the password” field.
Note: A password helps prevent the module from being unpacked by any process other than an
ImageUltra Builder process. When you assign an encryption key, the ImageUltra Builder program
assigns a password to the module. Encryption keys can be up to 64 characters long using any
combination of alpha-numeric characters. Symbols are not supported.
d. In the Comments field, type any comments you want kept with the module.
12. In the OS/Languages tab, do the following:
a. In the left pane, put a check mark next to each language for which this device driver will be used.
For example, you might choose to use an English device-driver module with a different language
operating system module.
