Especially, in the cases when thepersistence of the data is a preferred quality.By default, the whole storage is allocated for one file system partition using ‘Flash’ as a logicaldrive name, meaning in practice that the partition is represented as a ‘Flash’ directory off the rootof the file system. You cannot replace the ‘Flash’ name with another although you repartition thevolume. ‘Flash’ remains the directory (folder) name for the first partition. If there is more than onepartition on the storage device, the folder name of the second partition is ‘Flash2’; the third wouldbe ‘Flash3’, and so on.If your application needs the persistent storage, then repartitioning the volume is recommendedbecause a Nordic ID Customizer system uses the first partition to bring update, upgrade, bug fix,and customizing patches to the system through *.pak files stored in the ‘Flash’ folder. In case ofrepartitioning the volume, it is reasonable to reallocate two times the size of the Windows CEsystem image for the first partition, that is, about 30 - 40 megabytes (,or at least 20Mbytes), so thatyour application could use the persistent storage freely within its own partition(s). In the ControlPanel there is an applet called ‘Storage Manager’ with which you can repartition the persistentstorage. Note that you can create only FAT file system partitions on the storage.The storage in a nutshellStorage technology NAND FlashStorage capacity 128 Megabytes Note that the ‘Storage Manager’ (don’t confusethis with the Control Panel applet being the sameby name) allocates half a megabyte for managingthe device. In addition, each partition takes abouthalf a megabyte from the allocated capacity tomaintaining of the partition table(s).File systems available FATSector size 512 BytesLogical name of the device ‘DSK1:’Logical drive(s) as folder(s)off the root in the filesystems hierarchy‘Flash’, ‘Flash2’,‘Flash3’, and soonRelated information: Section ‘Storage Manager’ (‘Storage Manager’ control panel applet) Section ‘USB Profile’ (‘USB Profile’ control panel applet) Section ‘Repartitioning the Non-volatile Storage’3.7 Control PanelControl panel is a collection of applets to access the settings of different system properties; toconfigure those properties; to change their performance characteristics; to enable and disablethem, among others. The control panel is one channel to manage the properties of the Nordic IDMorphic. It may not be the most convenient means to do that, and it is worth considering whether
