LED indicators are green for power and yellow for status.

Software
The Relio R9 Quick Start involves installing the Talos Framework and OS Runtime images from the accompanying CD. The SD card should be correctly inserted in Slot A for booting.

Specifications and Setup
The Relio R9 runs Windows CE 6.0 OS from an SD card. Proper ESD procedures and power connector polarity must be observed to avoid damage. Power is applied via TR123 tinned leads connected to a 120VAC outlet. A USB connection is established between the Relio R9 and a host PC using a standard USB device cable.

Windows Device Center and ActiveSync
For Windows Vista or later, Windows Mobile Device Center installs automatically if connected to the Internet. For Windows XP, ActiveSync is required. Both allow file management on the Relio R9 without setting up synchronization with contacts or emails.

Application Development
Developers can use Visual Studio Professional 2005 or 2008 with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 to create applications. The Talos Framework provides access to I/O sections of the Relio R9, including analog and digital I/O points, CAN bus, and serial ports. Applications are developed similarly to desktop applications but with a smaller memory footprint.

Getting Started with Visual Studio
A step-by-step guide is provided for creating a smart device console application using Visual C#. The process involves setting up a new project, selecting the target platform, and adding references to the Talos Framework. A simple "Hello World" application is used as an example.

Application Debugging
Debugging requires Microsoft Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync, Visual Studio, and a USB or Ethernet connection. The document details how to attach the debugger, set breakpoints, and examine program variables. Debugging over Ethernet is also possible.

Target Deployment and Execution
Applications can be stored and executed from the SDCARD or NAND Flash using the SpringBoard utility, which automatically runs applications at startup. An XML configuration file can specify program arguments.

SDCARD Boot Sequence
The boot sequence involves "firstboot" initializing hardware and "eboot" configuring connection types and memory locations. The device checks the SDCARD or NAND Flash for a valid boot image.

OS File Restoration
To restore or update OS files, copy them to the root directory of an SDCARD or program them to the NAND Flash. Ensure the existing OS image is removed before programming the NAND Flash.

Using the Debug Port
Connect the Relio R9 to a host PC using an RS-232 cable and configure PuTTY for serial communication. Use the debug port to modify Eboot settings or erase the NAND Flash.

Upgrading the OS Runtime Image on SDCARD
Upgrade the OS runtime image using a memory card reader, USB connection, or FTP. Backup existing files before overwriting them with new OS runtime images.

Upgrading the OS Runtime Image on NAND Flash
Erase the existing NAND Flash content before programming a new OS runtime image via USB. Use provided scripts to automate the process and reassign the MAC address using the finalize.exe tool.

Network Configuration
Configure network settings using an XML file. The device can obtain an IP address via DHCP or be set to a static IP. The configuration file is accessed through ActiveSync or FTP.

Ethernet Configuration
The document outlines the structure for configuring Ethernet interfaces, including elements like Interface Name (readonly), DHCP (boolean for enabling/disabling DHCP), MAC (readonly MAC address), IP Address, Subnet, and Gateway. These elements are crucial for network configuration and must be children of the Ethernet element.

WiFi Configuration
The WiFi settings include elements such as SSID, Mode (Adhoc or Infrastructure), Channel, Security (various security protocols), and Key Encoding (write-only for security). These settings are essential for establishing wireless connections.

Sealevel and User Configuration
The Sealevel element contains internal configuration parameters for Sealevel software plug-ins, while the User element allows for custom software parameters, stored in the registry key HKLM/Software/User.

Specifications
The device dimensions are 7.5” x 5.1” x 1.3”. Power specifications include a supply line of 7-30VDC with a maximum rating of 10W. Environmental specifications cover operating temperatures from -40º to 85º C and storage temperatures from -60º to 150º C.

Manufacturing and Warranty
Sealevel Systems ensures high-quality manufacturing with UL 94V0 rated printed circuit boards. The warranty covers Sealevel products for two to five years, depending on the product line, with specific conditions outlined for warranty service and non-warranty repairs.

Appendices
The document includes resources for further reading, internal connector references, application debugging over Ethernet, and CAD drawings. Technical support details and procedures for obtaining an RMA are also provided.
