Subject: Trapping Hard Reset
I've searched through many threads related to trapping a reset and just
can't seem to find a complete solution to what I'm attempting to do.
I'm using JackFlash to keep my app stored in the OS Flash area and would
like to trap/launch my app after a reset. There's no problem with a soft
reset, but I'm not sure how to handle a hard reset.
I'm able to trap sysAppLaunchCmdSystemReset and then set an alarm to
launch my app using SysUIAppSwitch in sysAppLaunchCmdDisplayAlarm.
The issue I'm having is after a hard reset, the digitizer calibration
process appears, and I'm not sure how to figure out when the user has
completed this step.
What I've determined is my alarm is getting triggered, and I can trap it
in sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered, but the launch code for
sysAppLaunchCmdDisplayAlarm is NOT sent while the digitizer calibration is
running.
I can certainly delay the alarm for a hard reset, but I'd prefer to launch
my app as soon as the user is done with the calibration step. The delay
only works if the user completes the calibration step immediately vs
getting interrupted and coming back to it later.
I thought I was on to something by using using the ref parameter in
AlmSetAlarm so sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered would know whether the alarm
came from a hard vs soft reset via cmdPBP.
If it's a hard reset, then I just set another alarm a couple seconds
later. As soon as the calibration step is done,
sysAppLaunchCmdDisplayAlarm finally gets sent and my app launches. The
issue with this is the Event Queue overflows for some reason after I've
set about 20 alarms.
Any thoughts/ideas on this?
Thanks,
Paul
