SetRAM
Overview
SetRAM enables you to reconfigure the memory distribution on Windows Mobile 5.0-based Dolphin
terminals.
Note: SetRAM is disabled on Dolphin terminals with Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition,
and Windows CE 5.0 software.
Windows Mobile 5.0 Memory
The Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system is designed to use a persistent file store rather than the RAM
object store used by all previous versions of Pocket PC and Windows Mobile software.
This change eliminated the need for the memory slider that allowed you to dynamically adjust the amount
of RAM allocated to program memory versus file store in the Memory control applet. Now, the Memory
control panel applet shows the current memory allocation but does not allow you to change it.
On Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices, the allocation of file system RAM versus program memory must
be made during hard resets. This change is a challenge in devices that use the RAM based file systems
because there is no way to predict individual application requirements of program memory vs. RAM file
store.
Dolphin Terminal Memory Configuration
On Dolphin terminals, the default memory allocation between file store and program memory is 50/50.
SetRAM Power Tool adjusts the division of program memory vs. file system memory on Dolphin
terminals.
