Persistent Storage
The entire filesystem of the KDT900 will persist between cold boots. Files and settings that
need to be retained can be written to any location of the root filesystem or onto the
Storage Card mount.
The KDT900 includes an internal 1 GB (1024MB) Secure Digital (SD) card mounted under
“Storage Card” in the root filesystem. This card contains the Windows® Embedded CE oper-
ating system firmware. The firmware is stored as a normal file with the name “KDT900.k9x” in
the root directory of the SD card. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE.
NOTE: The SD card must be present for the KDT900 to operate.
NOTE: A proper Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 firmware image must be in the root
directory of the SD card for the KDT900 to boot.
Free space (~1000MB) on the SD card can be used for data storage, program installation, or
other custom applications, however, the SD card is much slower compared to the internal
flash memory (root filesystem). It is recommended that if the internal flash is large enough to
house the custom application or data, it should be used in preference over the SD card.
