Developing CE Drivers and Applications for the RAC6182
2–7
Publication 6182-UM002B-EN-P
The RAC6182 SDK is provided on CDROM. The CDROM contains
two different development kits, one for the RAC6182 with CE V2.12,
and one for the RAC6182 with CE V3.0. Either of these development
kits may be installed separately. Most users will want to install the SDK
for CE V3.0.
Before installing the SDK for CE V3.0, it is recommended that any
existing installation of the SDK for CE V2.12 be removed. All
RAC6182s with CE V2.12 can be easily upgraded to CE V3.0.
Applications developed to run on V2.12 should port to V3.0 without
difficulty, and all subsequent development can proceed on V3.0.
Each development kit includes two executable files, one containing an
SDK for Visual C++ and the other containing an SDK for Visual Basic.
Both can be installed on the same machine if desired; however, it is not
necessary to install both.
The following installation instructions pertain to the SDK for CE V3.0.
The procedure for installing the CE V2.12 SDK is similar.
To install, insert the RAC6182 CDROM in the host machine’s CDROM
drive (normally drive D:) and from the Windows GUI issue the
following instructions:
Start Run D:\Win CE 3.0\RAC6182VB-2.00.exe (for Visual Basic
installation)
or
Start Run D:\Win CE 3.0\RAC6182VC-2.00.exe (for Visual C++
installation)
The installer will be prompted for acceptance of a license agreement.
Following that, the SDK should install itself automatically on the host
machine without further operator intervention. When installation is
complete the following message should appear: “The SDK was
successfully installed”. The installer must press the “Done” button in the
install window to exit.
