236 Allegro CX Owner’s Manual
If you create an installation package (cab fi le), you need to consider
the build number. In general, you should use as wide a range as
practical when specifying installation constraints, or consider
imposing no limitations at all.
Internal Storage Device Name
Allegro CX’s internal (non-removable) non-volatile storage is named
C_Drive.
PC Card Storage Device Name
In the English version of the Allegro CX operation system, the PC
Card Storage area is named Storage Card. This is the default name
for ATA PC Cards in Windows CE .NET.
It is recommended to avoid hard-coding this name, as it has changed
over time, and differs from one language to another. For Allegro
cross platform compatibility, look for the name of the PC storage
card in the registry at:
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\ATADisk\Folder).
If this folder does not exist, or has no value, the default name is
Storage Card.
Allegro Specifi c APIs
There are a number of Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that are
only available on the Allegro CX. These APIs are used for accessing
special or unique features of the Allegro CX platform. These API’s
include accessing the serial number, or getting information from the
Allegro expansion pod.
To use these APIs, include AllegroAPI.h in the source code and
instruct your linker to use AllegroAPI.lib. For Visual Studio .NET
you need to p/invoke (platform invoke) these functions for the
Allegro CX eVC++ SDK, which contains a fi le named AllegroAPI.h
that describes these APIs.
Selecting the Platform
Select ALLEGRO_CX as your platform when using development
tools for Windows CE .NET.
