{{Note|In the CM-T3730 the SD card is installed on the module's micro SD slot (P5)}}

== Creating a bootable SD card ==
{{Note | The TI SDCard boot utility does not work well on computers running Windows 7, use Windows XP (WinXP mode in Windows 7 works fine too.)}}
* Download the latest [http://www.compulab.co.il/t3730/download/t3730-wince6-img.zip WinCE 6.0 runtime image for CM-T3730] and unzip the file.
* Use the TI_SDCard_boot_utility to create 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-T3730 evaluation kit).
# Launch the TI_SDCard_boot utility (located in the {{filename|Utils}} folder).
# Choose the drive letter of the SD reader. [[Image:Format SD card step 1.jpg|350px]] 
# Select the {{filename|MLO}} file from the LiveDisk folder. [[Image:Format SD card step 2.jpg|350px]] 
# Select the rest of the files in the LiveDisk folder. [[Image:Format SD card step 3.jpg|350px]] 
# Select the {{parameter|FAT 32}} filesystem and {{parameter|4096 bytes}} allocation unit size in the {{cmd|Format Removable Disk}} pop-up and start the SD card format process. [[Image:Format SD card step 4.jpg|200px]] 
# After the formatting is complete, the utility automatically starts to copy the files to the SD card.
# Wait for the "Copying files done" message to appear in the debug output box. [[Image:Format SD card step 5.jpg|350px]] 
# Your SD card is now ready to boot the CM-T3730.

== Booting the system ==
* Install the bootable SD card on the CM-T3730 micro SD slot (P5).
* Power on the device. A synthetic splash-screen (4 colored squares) will appear on LCD display within a few seconds.
* The CompuLab WinCE demo image is loaded from the SD card.
