Windows CE Operating System

Publication 6182-UM001D-EN-P

RAM-based storage memory segment is not persistent as in HPC
devices, so all files stored here must be re-created at every startup.

The program memory segment provides traditional computer RAM-like
functions for holding application code, heaps, stacks, and data at run-
time. The RAC6182 Industrial Computer loads the Windows CE
operating system and any auto-start applications from the DOC flash
ROM into the program memory at power-up.

Battery-Backed Non-Volatile RAM

The battery-backed RAM memory is a small segment of persistent RAM
memory that is available for any application to use. An application
accesses the non-volatile RAM using a specialized API.

Flash Memory PC Cards

The RAC6182 memory can be expanded using a non-volatile flash
memory PC card. When a flash memory card is installed, a new
StorageCard2 or StorageCard3 icon is displayed under My Computer,
and files in the memory card can be manipulated using the Windows
Explorer program.

Two PCMCIA Type2 cards or one PCMCIA Type 3 card may be used.
These must be ATA compatible. For information on compatible cards
and for instructions on installing them, refer to Chapter 4,
Adding/Removing Internal Components.
