Chapter 7 Update logo

The boot time STeWin4300s is 12s.During this time users can set up a boot logo. A progress

bar shows the booting process.

Ⅰ)Design demand of boot logo

The bit resolution of boot logo is 24.The extension name of the renewal picture should be

modified to BMP. The resolution of the picture is 480X272.The position of progress bar is

fixed(we can offer individual customization in special condition. For the aesthetic the boot logo

must reserve the position of progress bar. Ⅱ)Position of progress bar

Centered point(X=136 Y=199) as origin ,the position of progress bar is from (136,199) to

(344,209).The length is 208 and the height is 10.As shown below:

Picture7-1


Picture7-2 Ⅲ) Steps of modifying boot logo 1、 Saving the picture as boot logo to root directory of SD card( not more than 2G )and renaming

picture to ―logo.bmp‖.

2、Connecting the two pins below USB HOST with jumper cap 3、 Insert the card to STeWin4300, then power on and start. After the new root logo display and

then power off. Remove the SD card after prompt.

4、 Remove the jumper cap. 5、 Power on again and then the new boot logo will display. The renewal has been completed.


Chapter 8 Update system 1、 Put xip.bin in the root directory of SD card（not more than 2G）. 2、

Connecting the two pins below USB HOST with jumper cap

3、 Insert the card to STeWin4300 and then power on. A reminder ―Read xip.bin from sd card…‖ ,

―Format nand flashand…‖ ―Write xip.bin to nand flash…‖ will display at the upper-left of LCD.

After one minute WinCE system will start and the renewal has been completed. 4、 Remove the jumper cap and SD card. Power on again and enter WinCE desktop or user’s

application.

Note: After renew the WinCE system, resident Flash of previous system has been formatted.

Starting system for the first time needs two minutes. After that, the time of starting system only

needs less than 12 seconds.

Chapter 9 How to run compiled application automatically Ⅰ) How to run compiled application

automatically Method 1:

1、 Copy users’ application to GUI file in resident Flash root directory.Rename users’

application to ―GUIsample.exe‖.( Resident Flash/ GUI/ GUIsample.exe)

2、 The system will enter users’ application interface instead of WinCE desktop when power

on.

Note: Make sure the two pins below USB HOST be not connected.

Method2:

1、 Copy users’ application to GUI file in SD card root directory and rename application to

GUIsample.exe.

2、 Run program ―Install.exe‖. The function of ―Install.exe‖ is copying GUI file(all the files) in

SD card root directory to Resident Flash.

3、 The system will enter users’ application interface instead of WinCE desktop when power on. Ⅱ) Exit to system in application

After setting auto start the application ,it will enter users’ application interface instead of

WinCE desktop when power on. If you want to exit to system ,you have to add ―Exit‖ in your

application with the function

―Create Process‖(L‖explorer.exe‖,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,NULL);‖

If you want to enter system desktop without adding the ―Exit‖ button, there are two situations: a) Entering system desktop when the application is running;

b) Entering WinCE desktop instead of users’ application interface when power on.

Solution:

Situation 1:After application is running when power on, Connect the two pins JTAG19,20

Situation 2: Firstly connect the two pins below USB HOST and then power on.
