1.5 CTRL/DOWNLOAD BUTTON
1.5.1 XV400
The CONTROL button on the device has two different functions:
1. If the button is pressed on startup, the bootloader will list all directories and files on the Compact
Flash card. This can be useful when analyzing problems. Windows CE is then started in the usual
manner.
2. If the button is held down during the Windows CE startup (after the bootloader), the
Autoexec.bat
and
Autoexec.reg files are not run.
Note:
The button is labeled depending on the MICRO PANEL either with CTRL or DOWNLOAD.

Autoexec.bat and Autoexec.reg are not run.
3. If the button is pressed on startup and is released after the display of “Pressed button detected”,
the “Debug mode active!” state is set which is required for developing the device.
