1.4 Application Development Procedure
UNO-1251G provides Software Development Kit (SDK) and a built-in runtime library;
you can use your existing Windows-based programming skills to develop applica-
tions easily and rapidly through those tools. This document introduces how to
develop custom applications step by step.
1.4.1 Application Development Procedure
1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
The Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 tool is a desktop development environment for
creating applications and system components for Windows CE.NET-powered
devices. This version features new capabilities such as C++ exception handling,
Run Time Type Information (RTTI), and a plethora of new debugger functional-
ities. Before you begin to develop your application, you must install Microsoft
Visual Studio 2008 first.
2. Insert UNO-1251G SD card into the USB slot in the host PC.
3. Install UNO-1251G Software Development Kit for Visual Studio 2008 from the
below path:
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\SDK
4. Execute Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
5. Select “File” / “New” to open a new project. Select your project type and enter
the new project name / location in the window. Please note that the CPU type
must be Win32 (WCE ARMV4I).

1.4.2 Watchdog Timer
There is a built-in watchdog timer in UNO-1251G. Users can utilize the WDT driver
with standard WIN32 API to implement the watchdog function in their applications. To
use the watchdog driver, firstly users must open “WDT1:”, then use the DeviceIO-
Control function to access the watchdog hardware. The introduction below includes
the definition of DeviceIOControl and its parameters as well as an example.
How to Use the Control Code
There are 9 control codes for the operation codes in the WDT driver.
1. IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE:
Enable the Watchdog timer on your application. By default, if the Watchdog timer is
enabled, the WDT driver will automatically reload the timeout counter after a speci-
fied period and your application does not need to trigger the strobe periodically for
masking the timeout, unless use IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT timeout to stop this auto-
matic strobe triggering.
lpInBuffer: unused.
nInBufferSize: unused.
lpOutBuffer: unused.
nOutBufferSize: unused.
2. IOCTL _WDT_DISABLE:
Disable the Watchdog timer on your application.
lpInBuffer: unsed.
nInBufferSize: unused.
lpOutBuffer: unused.
nOutBufferSize: unused.
3. IOCTL_WDT_STROBE:
Trigger strobe signal to reload watchdog timeout counter. If your application uses
IOCTL_WDT_ENABLE to enable the Watchdog first and then sends
IOCTL_WDT_REBOOT to the WDT driver, your application must trigger the Watch-
dog once during the Watchdog timer period. If your application has not triggered at
the specified period, the device will re-boot automatically.
lpInBuffer: unused.
nInBufferSize: unused.
lpOutBuffer: unused.
nOutBufferSize: unused.
4. IOCTL_WDT_GET_TIMEOUT:
Get the Watchdog timeout value.
lpInBuffer: unused.
nInBufferSize: unused.
lpOutBuffer: The DWORD pointer to your Watchdog timeout setting. The Watchdog
timeout setting is just a number. 0 means 2 seconds, 1 means 5 seconds, 2 means
10 seconds, 3 means 15 seconds, 4 means 30 seconds, 5 means 45 seconds, 6
means 60 seconds, 7 means 120 seconds,8 means 300 seconds, 9 means 600 sec-
