Chapter 9 Application Development and
Introduction
This chapter lists the tools required for developing applications, describes how to package applications and
provides procedures for deploying applications onto the VC70.
Software Installation on Development PC (Application Development)
To develop applications to run on the vehicle computer, use one or more of the following:
•
Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) for C
•
Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) for .NET
•
Windows CE Platform SDK for VC70
The EMDK for C is a development tool used to create native C and C++ applications for all vehicle computers. It
includes documentation, header files (.H), and library files (.LIB) for native code application development that
targets Symbol value-add APIs.
The Windows CE Platform SDK for the VC70 is used in conjunction with the EMDK for C to create Windows CE
applications for the VC70 vehicle computer. The Platform SDK installs a new Windows CE device type and its
associated libraries onto the development PC. Visual Studio 2008 is used to develop application for the VC70. The
new device (like: Symbol VC70 Windows CE PSDK) is added to the active platform configuration.
