Want to save data

hi,

i have a flash on my board.On power up it start downloading image from FLASH
to RAM and then run WINCE5.0 from there.In this way each time when i power up
the system it start downloading fresh image from FLASH, so i am not able to
save data through my .NETCF application.

so is there any way to save data through my application.

Hi Dipendra,

Presumably this is NAND flash (else the image might be able to run
XIP). Does the CE image take up all the space in flash? If not, the
simplest way to create a non-volatile storage space is to create a
file system on the unused blocks of flash.

You can use hive based registry.
If you do that, save the data to registry.

OR, you can just write your data to a file on disk.
That way , you're (more) OS-independent.
(it will work on both RAM and HIVE based registry systems)

Greetings,
Rob.

What does getting the image from flash have to do with this question? It
seems to me that if you have a place to persistent data that you shouldn't
have a problem. Do you have a place to store persistent data?
