I am trying to create a run-time image using Platform Builder 5.0, I know how to make run-time images but I need specific modules and files to be inside the run-time image, I am basically trying to clone an original run-time image and I want to add some extra stuff such as drivers for an ethernet card that was incorrectly configured, by using viewbin I was able to obtain the following modules and files, if it is possible can someone tell me exactly what catalog items I should add because at the moment I am using trial and error and it is not working, the modules and files are as follows
Modules
nk.exe,GIISR.dll, isr16550.dll, coredll.dll, filesys.exe, gwes.exe, device.exe, devmgr.dll, regenum.dll, pm.dll, fatfsd.dll, diskcache.dll, fatutil.dll, shell.exe, shellcelog.dll, toolhelp.dll, cmd.exe, atapi.dll, udfs.dll, fsdmgr.dll, mspart.dll, ceddk.dll, ppp.dll, pppoe.dll, export.dll, iphlpapi.dll, mbridge.dll, winsock.dll, ws2.dll, wsinstl.dll, wspm.dll, nspm.dll, secur32.dll, ntlmssp.dll, credsvc.dll, credprov.dll, afd.dll, ndis.dll, dhcp.dll, tcpstk.dll, tapi.dll, unimodem.dll, netbios.dll, ping.exe, ipconfig.exe, ndisconfig.exe, route.exe, netstat.exe, tracert.exe, serial.dll, mmtimer.dll, ole32.dll, oleaut32.dll, services.exe, httpd.dll, telnetd.dll,PCIbus.dll, pcc_tipccard.dll, pcc_serv.dll, pcmcia.dll, kbdmouse.dll, com16550.dll, ssce20.dll, ssceca20.dll, e100ce.dll - this is the driver that I am replacing, micro.dll
Files
ceconfig.h, wince.nls, initobj.dat, boot.hv, default.hv, user.hv, cemgrc.exe, cetlkitl.dll, cetlstub.dll, tcpipc.dll,
tlcesrv.dll, httpd_default.htm, NTLMInit.exe, version.exe, HECImageInfo.exe-version.exe and HECImageInfo.exe are run from an app on the drive itself.
I have tried adding the above files and modules that were missing by using the project.bib files in the Parameter view, but still this does not help. I am using this system on a MSM586SEN board and there is problems with the ethernet not connecting to the computer.
You can't just go and add these modules and files into your own BIB files. It's unlikely to work, plus it's a bad idea as there's nothing telling the system to generate those files. Select what you need from the catalog, which will set the proper SYSGEN veriables. That, in turn, will build the proper pieces and include them into the OS.
If you want to "clone" what was in an image, but don't have the project file for it, then look in the \windows\ceconfig.h file of the running OS. It will list every SYSGEN set during the build process. You can then manually set them in your new project, or select the proper catalog items to set them (hover on a catalog item and it will tell you the SYSGEN it sets - alternately you might just manually edit your project file with a text editor and add them).
Once you have that, then you can add drivers, debug connectivity issues, etc.

I have a question, after I have whole built the AOSP source code, it generates couple image files, such as ramdisk.img, recovery.img, system.img, res-package.img,etc .
Right now, I am considering partial flashing my Android Box without formatting all of the system, for keeping some previous data remains.
Therefore, I just tried to use the command “adb sideload filename.img”, which filename might be ramdisk,recovery, etc.
Then, after I did so, the android system shows the message :
“footer is wrong”
“signature verification failed”
“Installation aborted”
There, what should I correct my command, to make the process correct?
as the figure shows enter image description here
And, my methods to do so is trying to refresh a new system feature, but keep the previous data, such as APPs, or user data, remain, does anybody have other good suggestions? Thank you in advance.
it depends on the flash type and file-system you are using, and it is not possible to partially flash in the partition, but you can update the partition.
First of all, I'm not using Core Data, I'm using SQLite only.
I save the data in the table and then query them by opening the app and looking at the data using SQLiteStudio. I even create a LOG to check that the data is saved, and yes, it is saved.
But when I STOP and run the simulator again to consult, there is no more data!
Is Xcode overwriting the database every time? Or is something else happening that is outside my limited knowledge?
Without knowing more about how your application is setup, how you've got your app configured to build, or how it operates on the SQLite DB file in question I'll only be able to offer some pointers in things you can go check out about your code and build configuration that may be the source of your phantom deletions. Of course, if you have other info to provide, I'd be happy to edit my answer!
Case 1: 'Create DB' always running?
One thing that may be tripping your app up is what happens leading up to the decision to create a new SQLite DB file or look/open an existing file. If the code creating an empty DB is always running, then each time your app starts, your old DB file is getting overwritten with a blank DB.
Case 2: Using a 'starter' or 'template' empty database?
Sometimes developers may provide a blank database that contains the initial database schema (the general tables and structure) as well as some default or sample data. If your app does this, perhaps the logic leading up to the decision to apply that default database is accidentally always being triggered? If so, use of NSUserDefaults to record a boolean indicating the DB was successfully created may be an avenue to use to skip past the 'Load my starter DB' code. Alternatively, you could check for the existence of your DB file, or see if the contents of a specific table are different from the template data, etc.
Case 3: Different Behavior between 'Build & Run' vs. 'Run Without Building'
There's a not-so-well-known option in the Product > Perform Action menu labelled 'Run without Building' that will essentially kickoff another Debug session using the version of the application you just finished running in the Simulator or on Device. When you use this option do you see any different behavior with your database or is it still blank?
Case 4: Different Behavior when run directly in Simulator outside of an Xcode debugging session?
Part of the 'Run' operation is a build phase which may trigger the 'Copy Resources' phase even if your app hasn't changed since the last execution (as you suggest is the case in your question). If you are providing a stock 'default' or 'template' DB file and your app is simply opening and editing that 'template' during the first execution of your app, then Xcode may be replacing it with a clean copy on the subsequent 'Run' operations where 'Copy Resources' is happening. A way to test this avenue:
Build and Run your app to the simulator using Xcode like normal.
Perform some operations that would result in the creation or editing of data in your app's database.
Click the stop button in Xcode to return to the Simulator home screen.
Double-click the home button on the simulator (or if there is no home button, press CMD+SHIFT+H twice to bring up the multitasking bar and force-quit out of your application.
Check and see if your DB file has data in it.
If no data, then there is an issue persisting your changes into the database and we need to get that problem solved first. Otherwise:
Relaunch your app directly from iOS Simulator and perform different operations that would result in more or different changes to the database.
Click on the home button to return to the iOS Home Screen.
Force-quit your appellation as was done in Step 4.
Check and see if your DB file data has changed (but still has data) or has blanked out.
Finally, make sure you are following Apple's guidance about where to store user-data, if you are inadvertently storing something in an incorrect file path doesn't typically result in blanking of data, it may be prohibiting writing of data which could be interpreted as your data getting overwritten especially if you are interrogating it while it still is residing in an in-memory process. There's some really useful guidance about file paths in the Table 1-1: (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGUide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html)
Locating your Simulator App on your Mac's Hard Drive
To be thorough (and you may already know about this!), iOS Simulator applications are stored on your Mac's hard drive just like other files on your machine. Their organization mimics that of a physical iOS device. To get to your App and its data:
Open a new Finder window.
Press CMD+SHIFT+G or choose 'Go to Folder' from the 'Go' menu.
Paste the following into the 'Go to Folder' box then click 'Go': ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/
Select the folder that matches the iOS version of the simulator you built to.
Click on Appications.
You'll then be presented with zero or more folders, each folder that appears will have a string of digits separated by hyphens. Navigate through this list until you find the one containing your app. You can then browse, and copy data out of this folder to somewhere to be examined by other tools on your Mac.
I have been developing an OSX app with Delphi XE3 and running into various problems. The latest one is with the sanboxed version built for the Apple Appstore.
The user has to select an arbitrary folder and the app needs to get access to it. Since there is a problem with the OpenDialog, I had to turn to drag-drop functionality instead.
The user drags a folder to the app, the sandbox gives the app temporary access to it and all works properly.
To preserve the access to this folder when the app is restarted I have to use the so-called "security-scoped bookmarks"
I am having two issues with them:
1) How to add the "com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope" entitlement to an XE3 firemonkey app? It is not available in the Project Options->Entitlements. If I add it manually in the ".entitlements" file it gets overwritten when the app is built.
So is there a way to add a custom entitlement that is not in the list in the project options?
2) To create the bookmark I should use the NSURL.bookmarkDataWithOptions method. I think it should be used like this, but I am not sure of the exact syntax:
var
URL: NSURL;
Err: NSError;
Data: NSData;
...
URL := TNSURL.Create;
Data := URL.bookmarkDataWithOptions(NSURLBookmarkCreationWithSecurityScope, nil, #Err);
...
Maybe there should be a call to Wrap(...) instead of Create.
I have not yet experimented with it, because it is pointless without the answer to issue 1).
It seems no one has written anything about these problems for Delphi, but I hope someone here has experience with that.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
For problem 1) I tried to add edit manually the ".entitlements" file in the OSX32 folder and set it to read-only to prevent it from being overwritten. It was too easy to be true of course, because the linker complained that the file can not be modified...
OK, I finally found the way to manually add entitlements that are not available in the Project Options > Entitlements.
Instead of selecting the "App Store" build in the Project Manager you have to select a Normal release build and deploy the application as usual.
The application gets deployed in the PAServer scratch-dir as APP package. Inside this package there is an "Entitlements.plist" file, which is in XML format and can be edited with a text editor. It is quite obvious how to add new entitlements once you open the file.
After it is edited, the app has to be code-signed manually and a package has to be prepared. It is slightly more complicated than using the Delphi IDE, but there are instructions about it on the Embarcadero and Apple websites and it actually went without problems.
Still haven't tried the bookmarkDataWithOptions functions.
An alternative could be to deactivate the checkbox for the entitlements-file in the deployment page.
But attention: Evry time you change between Build/Release or App Store/Normal, delphi activates the checkbox. That means you have to deactivate it again in the deplayment-page, to avoid the transfer of this file to the mac PC.
By the way: Do you have tryed meanwhile the StartAccessingSecurityScopedResource function?
In the MacApi.Foundation unit the function is not declared in the NSURL interface.
Do you have found a way to use this function?
Basically, I created a Visual Studio Installer project. I added a primary output to my project, which was great because it loaded in the dependencies and files automatically for me. The problem I'm facing is that I want to be able to mark my config file as a hidden file, but can't seem to figure out how.
When I go to View>File System it lists:
MyExternalAssembly.dll
Primary output from MyProject (Active)
So, is there a way to actually mark my config file as hidden during installation if I add a primary output project instead of the individual files?
I'm not sure if you really want to make it hidden. If you're worried about users looking at it, a more than average user will know how to un-hide things and pilfer around. So, that being said, if you want to keep users from seeing what's in the config you will need to encrypt the config. A good example of that can be found here:
http://www.davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2005/11/17/2572.aspx
If you still want to hide the config, then you could try hiding it once the application is run for the first time.
Using: ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed && ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.IsFirstRun with a click once application you can tell if this is the first time an application is run.
You could then use File.SetAttributes(path, File.GetAttributes(path) | FileAttributes.Hidden); to actually hide the app.config.
Which would result in:
if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed && ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.IsFirstRun)
{
File.SetAttributes(path, File.GetAttributes(path) | FileAttributes.Hidden);
}
Here is my app status:
Purpose - download multiple list files from internet
Approach - created a simple "download form". After a while, I just needed more forms because I had more than one list of files to download. Just solved that by adding a MDIform to my project, add a button to create another "download form" instance and voilà. Apparently, my problem was solved. But no :(
When I press my "download" button in my form-instance3, the other form instances (2 and 1) hangs on downloading the contents (I get a timeout sometimes) until the form-instance3 terminates all the downloads and so on, for all the other forms. So, even though I know my app is not multi-threaded, the multiple instances of the same form are in conflict (Inet component, presumably) and I can't download multiple files at the same time.
Inet and my download function are defined in the form.
What can I do to solve this? how can I download multiple files at the same time?
edit:
I'm trying to use the "wqw" suggestion, but I'm facing some problems:
In the download_form, I have a MSHFlexgrid, with 2 columns: one with the URL and the other with the file destiny. I was iterating throw all rows to download the files and save them. With the approach suggested by "wqw", how can I distinguish each download so that I can save it with the properly name indicated in the grid?
What do you use for the actual http download? I would try Simple Asynchronous Downloads and forget about the MDIForm. Really!
VB6, on its own, is single threaded. So breaking out downloading to different forms won't help you.
What I've used in the past is the Timer object in conjunction with an ActiveX EXE. This approach will give you an ability to localize all the downloading logic in one place, control it like you control a regular object and have it run in a separate EXE, thus by default making it multi-threaded.
So the way this works is like so:
You call the Download method on the ActiveX EXE object
In the download method, you instantiate the Timer and have it kick off almost immediately.
You get out of the Download method, thus giving control back to the entity that called it.
Then you communicate back to the main app via Events (e.g. DownloadProgress or DownloadComplete, etc...)
