Target Device Connectivity Options: Core Service Settings (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

You can configure settings for core services you want to run on the target device.

Target device
The target device. Select from the list the device you want to configure.

Download Image
Select an option for downloading the OS image to the device. The following table shows the available options:

Option	Description
Always	Download the OS image to the device when the device is reset.
Only if image changed	Download the OS image to the device only if the timestamp on the image has changed from the last download. The assumption is that you download the same OS image to the same device during the current Platform Builder session.
Only on initial download	Download the OS image the first time you connect to the device for download. During subsequent reboots of the device, the OS image is not downloaded, even if it has been updated.
Never (jump to image only)	Jump to the OS image only on the device. No OS image is downloaded, because the assumption is that the image is already loaded on the device.

KITL Settings
Select KITL options for the connection to the device. For more information about KITL, see Kernel Independent Transport Layer.

The following table shows the available options:

Option	Description
Enable KITL on device boot	Boot the device in Active KITL mode. If the run-time image contains KITL, the device does not boot until the development computer is connected to the device. If this is not selected, the run-time image boots in passive KITL mode. You can switch to active KITL mode by causing an exception on the device.
Clear memory on soft reset	Vlear the contents of the device memory when the device undergoes a soft reset, either from Platform Builder, or from using the hardware itself. If this is not selected, the contents of the memory on the device, which can include files created or registry changes, are not cleared during a soft reset. Note: If this option is not selected, preserving the contents of the memory requires support from OEM source code.
Enable access to desktop files	Select to enable Relfsd, which you use to load files in the flat release directory/ARD from the device. If this option is not selected, the files in the flat release directory/ARD are not accessible from the device. Note: You must select this option to use remote tools.
