File Provisioning on the 99EX
\IPSM\Honeywell
The IPSM folder is the only partition on the 99EX that persists across a kernel upgrade (*.UPG file exten-
sion). During a kernel upgrade, files are automatically copied from the \IPSM\Honeywell\Autoin-
stall folder and then installed in the \Honeywell (root file system) folder as part of the upgrade
process.
\IPSM\Honeywell\AutoInstall
The files in the IPSM\Honeywell\AutoInstall folder are only installed when a factory reset or ker-
nel upgrade occurs. Once the files are installed, they persist through hard and soft resets. If a file is
added to the folder and a hard or soft reset is performed, it will have no effect. If a program is manually
removed using the Remove Programs application (see page 7-17), then the program is not automatically
re-installed on a hard or soft reset.
\Honeywell
The Honeywell partition or root file system partition is persistent over a Hard Reset, Soft Reset, and the
removal of the battery pack or the removal of AC power. However, during a kernel upgrade the root file
system is reformatted so all data in the folder is deleted and replaced by any files in the \IPSM\Honey-
well\AutoInstall folder as part of the upgrade process.
To prevent data loss, back up all user data to an SD card or external memory device before perform-
ing an upgrade.
\Honeywell\AutoInstall
If you run a CAB file from within the \Honeywell\AutoInstall (user store) folder, after the program
has been installed, the CAB file will be deleted from the User Store. The program remains installed
through all successive Hard and Soft resets.
If you want the program to be part of the Autoinstall that occurs after a factory reset or software upgrade,
paste the program file(s) in both the \IPSM\Honeywell\Autoinstall folder and the
\Honeywell\Autoinstall.
