== Creating a bootable SD card ==
* Download the latest [http://www.compulab.co.il/t35/download/t35-wince6-img.zip WinCE 6.0 runtime image for CM-T3530] and unzip the file.
* Format the SD-Card. You should use a free 3rd party [http://www.sysanalyser.com/sp27213.exe HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool V 2.0.6.0] that creates a disk with partition table geometry compatible with the OMAP3 boot ROM.

:Follow the steps below:
# Insert the SD card into an SD-Reader attached to the desktop computer (an SD-card is supplied with the CM-T3530 evaluation kit).
# Download and install HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, '''version 2.0.6'''. Please note that other versions of the utility might not work properly.
# Launch the utility.
# Choose the settings as shown below. <br> [[Image:HP_USB_Disk_Storage_Format_Tool_Window.jpg]]<br>
# Press "Start".
# In the Pop Up message, answer "Yes" to format the SD-card.
# When the formating is complete, the following window pops up. <br>[[Image:HP_USB_Disk_Storage_Format_Tool_Format_Complete.jpg]]<br>

* Copy only the {{filename|MLO}} file from the LiveDisk folder (stored in the downloaded zip file) to the SD-Card.

{{Note|The CM-T3530 will not be able to boot from the SD-Card unless the {{filename|MLO}} file is located in the first sector of the card’s FAT32 partition. Make sure {{filename|MLO}} is the first file created on the formatted card}}

* Copy the rest of the files from the LiveDisk folder to the SD-Card.

== Installing the demo runtime image ==
* Insert the bootable SD card into the SD socket (connector P13 on SB-T35).
* Configure the CM-T3530 for SD-Boot mode. There are two ways to do it:
** Preferred way: Hold the “SD BOOT” button while booting the device. You should hold the button until the synthetic splash-screen (4 colored squares) appears.
** Installing jumper E6.
* Power on the device. The synthetic splash-screen (4 colored squares) will appear on LCD display within a few seconds.
* An Updater image (dedicated WinCE image) is loaded from the SD-Card. Updater image boot time is approximately 50 seconds.
* The Updater utility will start automatically. The utility will install the runtime image onto the CM-T3530 NAND flash.

* The following message box informs you that the process is complete.
:[[Image:CM_T35_Updater_Complete.jpg|400px]]
* Make sure jumper E6 is removed. Otherwise, the installation process will be repeated next time you boot the device.
* Use the reset button to reboot the device.
* CompuLab WinCE demo image will be loaded from the NAND flash.
