1 Important News

1. End of Support for Windows Vista - Beginning with EMDK for C v2.8,
Windows Vista is no longer supported.

2. Change in the Installer: Beginning with EMDK for C v2.8, the installer has
been changed. This new installer preserves the already existed behavior of
detecting older EMDK versions to prevent two EMDK versions from being
installed. But the older versions prior to v2.8 will not be able to detect the
presence of v2.8, and will continue to be installed resulting in two EMDK
versions. So the user must make sure that installing older EMDK for C versions
prior to v2.8 is not attempted after installing this new version or future versions
for the proper functionality of the package.

3. End of Support for eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 - Beginning with EMDK for C
v2.4, support for eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (eVC 4.0) is no longer available.
Customers must use Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008. Support
for eVC 4.0 will be provided by the previous versions of this product which will
continue to be available on the Support Central.

4. End of Support for S24 functions - Beginning with EMDK for C v2.4, support
for S24 API functions is no longer available. Customers must use the Fusion API
to access WLAN capabilities.

2 Introduction

The EMDK for C provides developers with the tools necessary for creating
applications that target the enterprise mobility 'C' libraries, such as scanning and
printing. This developer kit is designed for use with Visual Studio 2005 and Visual
Studio 2008.

3 Description

1. New device support for MC18 CE7.0 and MC32N0 CE7.0. The device MC18 CE7.0
supports the new APIs Cradle and Diagnostic.
2. Updated Fusion API to include support for exporting and importing WLAN datastore on
Fusion X_2.01 and later.
3. Beginning with MC67 BSP v03.46.39, the support for color camera has been provided
through the Imager APIs distributed with EMDK. However on the older versions of
MC67 BSPs, you must continue to use Microsofts DirectShow for capturing images. The
Imager APIs distributed with EMDK do not support color camera on the older BSPs.

4. Important News: Beginning with this version, Windows Vista is no longer supported.
5. Important News: Beginning with EMDK for C v2.8, the installer has been changed. This
new installer preserves the already existed behavior of detecting older EMDK versions to

in two EMDK versions. So the user must make sure that installing older EMDK for C
versions prior to v2.8 is not attempted after installing this new version or future versions

Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit) or Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit) or Microsoft
Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) or Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit)
One of the following device sync components:
o Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or higher for Windows XP
o Microsoft Mobile Device Center pre-installed with Windows Vista
o Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 or higher for Windows 7 and
Windows 8

If developing applications for Windows CE 5.0

o Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 with Service Pack4

If developing applications for Windows Mobile 6.X, Windows Mobile 5.0, Windows CE
6.0 or Windows CE 5.0, install one or more of the following:
o Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Service Pack1
o Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with Service Pack1

One or more of the following Platform SDK's:

o Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK *
o Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional SDK
o Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional Developer Tool Kit
 o For Windows CE embedded development, use the Platform SDK's (PSDK's)
available at http://support.symbol.com/support

If developing applications for Windows Embedded Compact 7.0 (CE 7.0), install the
following:
o Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with Service Pack1
o Install the update that adds support for Windows Embedded Compact 7.0
o Install the update that extends support for Windows Embedded Compact 7.0. This
fix is required only if you are targeting ATL or MFC.

* The Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK is required to build the EMDK sample applications. If you are
using Visual Studio 2005, this SDK must be installed. Visual Studio 2008 includes this SDK pre-
installed.

6 Installation Instructions

Please read these rules carefully. Failure to follow them could cause problems:
1. For Windows CE SDK's (PSDK's) to be recognized by Visual Studio, they must be
installed after Visual Studio is installed.

2. If a Microsoft SDK for Windows Mobile is installed after EMDK for C, you will need to
run EmdkIntegrator manually using the shortcut in the EMDK for C Start Menu program
group. On Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, EmdkIntegrator must be run with
administrative rights. This will ensure that EmdkIntegrator adds the EMDK Include and
Library files to the Microsoft SDK.
3. If you need to install Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 on the same machine,
make sure to install in the following order:
o Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Service Pack1
o Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK
o Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with Service Pack1
o EMDK for C
o One or more of the Platform SDKs

Failure to follow the above order may result in compilation errors. To correct this problem
uninstall all software except Visual Studio 2005 and reinstall in the above order.
4. If you need to install the Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK
on the same machine, make sure to install in the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK first.

5. EMDK supports development of 64 bit RFID applications on Windows 7. If the 64 bit

component of the Visual Studio is installed after the installation of EMDK for C, you
must run EmdkIntegrator manually using the shortcut in the EMDK for C Start Menu
program group. The EmdkIntegrator must be run with administrative rights. This will
ensure that EmdkIntegrator adds the EMDK Include and Library files to the Microsoft
 SDK.

6. Before compiling the ATL or MFC application that run on CE 7.0 , you must modify the
project settings as described below:

a. Go to Tools->Options.
b. Select VC++ Directories under the Projects and Solutions section.
c. Select the targeted CE7.0 device under the Platform section. For example,
select WT41N0c70PSDK(ARMV4i) for targeting the WT41N0 CE7.0 device.
d. Select Include files under the Show directories for section.
e. In the Include Directories textbox, add the $(VCInstallDir)ce7\include
string.
f. In the Include Directories textbox, add the
$(VCInstallDir)ce7\atlmfc\include string.
g. Move the $(VCInstallDir)ce7\atlmfc\include entry above the
$(VCInstallDir)ce\atlmfc\include.
