After Coding Procedure

Thanks to all the resources here on the forum I successfully upgraded to the larger 8.8" screen and did the appropriate coding to make it work.

My question is what happens now with all of the .ncd files in the Data/CAF folder? Thay are the updated files..Should I delete the contents of that folder before coding again? Do I need to re-install all coding applications from scratch?

I already backed up the OEM coding files.

Thanks!!

Files in %\data\CAF will automatically be overwritten anytime you "Read Coding Data" for files of the same name. It is up to you whether you first move them or delete.

The only times you need to uninstall coding applications are if you are either upgrading E-sys or if programs are not working.
