Firmware Build Versions

There are two ways to determine the version of your UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE computer’s firmware. You

will need to know the firmware version to identify which features your UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE supports.

• Examine the welcome message after you log on to the computer.

• Log on to the web-based management system (described in a later chapter) to view the system

information.

Memory and File Systems

The SDRAM has 256 MB of memory space, of which 192 MB is allocated for the main memory in which the

operating system and user applications run. The kernel image occupies the rest of the space.

The UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE’s internal file system controls access to the ROM, and also provides file

storage in the object store, which is in the RAM. The ROM file system provides persistent storage for

applications and the data used by the applications, even when the main power supply is lost. It integrates the

read-only files that are stored in Flash ROM with the read/write files of both an application and a user. In the

UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE computers, a child directory named “NANDFlash” under the root indicates the

ROM storage of the flash memory is 32 MB.

The root directory is a 44 MB RAM file system. It can be used for storing temporary files for your applications.

However, do not place persistent files or applications in the root directory, because they will be wiped out when

the system is shut down. Instead, place them in the “NANDFlash” directory.

The file systems for storage devices connected through the USB port and CompactFlash are placed in the root

of the internal file system. If you intend to use these devices to port data between your PC and the

UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE computers, format them using the FAT file system on your PC.

Dual Display (UC-8430-CE only)

The UC-8430-CE comes with 2 VGA outputs and supports the clone-mode feature.

Audio (UC-8430-CE only)

The UC-8430-CE has a line-in for audio recording and an audio output for playing sound. Note, however, that

you can either record audio or play audio. You cannot both record audio and play audio at the same time.

NOTE

The audio recording and audio playing functions cannot be used at the same time.

Hive-based Registry (not RAM-based)

The registry for the UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE computers is a hive-based registry instead of a RAM-based

registry. The hive-based registry stores registry data in files, or hives, which can be kept on any file system.

This removes the need for performing backup and restore on power off.
