=== Installation with LiveDisk ===

* Extract the contents of {{filename|LiveDisk.zip}} from [http://www.compulab.co.il/x270em/download/x270-em-linux.zip Linux package for EM-X270] onto USB flash drive.
* Insert the flash drive into "USB-A to mini-USB" adaptor supplied with EvalKit, and connect the other side of the adaptor to EM-X270.
* Power up the EM-X270 while holding the "suspend/resume" button. You may release the button as soon as you see CompuLab logo on the LCD screen.
* Wait until systems starts. You will be asked to calibrate the touchscreen and create a user to log in to the system
* Click on the '''Updater''' icon. EM-X270 updater application will start.
*: [[Image:em_x270_updater_screen.png]]
* Click '''Forward''' to continue, or '''Cancel''' if you decided to abandon the installation
*: [[Image:em_x270_updater_intro.png]]
* By default, updater application will search for {{filename|/media/usb/em_x270.img}} image file. Press '''Open''' or fill the filename entry to choose another image.
* After you've chosen the image, press '''Forward'''.
*: [[Image:em_x270_updater_file.png]]
* Press '''Start!''' button to update EM-X270.
*: [[Image:em_x270_updater_start.png]]
* After restart the system will boot Angstrom Linux from the internal NAND flash. Note, that the first boot takes relatively much time because Angstrom Linux performs a lot of one-time initialization tasks.

{{caution|
Make sure you do not interrupt the updater application after pressing '''Start!''', keep the USB flash drive inserted and the device powered up during the update process.
}}

{{tip|
Any time you would like to boot clean system from the USB flash drive, you can unpack the original LiveDisk.zip to the USB flash drive and start over.

−
−	~~=== Installation using NFS ===~~
−
−	* Follow the steps in [[~~Linux_Development_for_XScale_modules#Networked_Root_Filesystem\|Networked Root Filesystem Guide]]~~
−	* Make sure to power off the EM-X270
−	* Connect EM-X270~~'s ETH0 port to your local Ethernet~~
−	* Connect your host PC to the EM-X270 via a null modem cable supplied with the Eval Kit.
−	* Start terminal emulation software on your PC using the COM port to which the null modem is connected and configure it as described in [http:~~//www.compulab.co.il/x270em/download/x270-em-uboot.zip EM-X270's U-Boot documentation].~~
−	* Power up the EM-X270. U-Boot will start and you will get the command prompt in your terminal program.
−	~~{{Note\|If the boot settings of your EM-X270 are set to load the operating system, you may need to press and hold ^C while turning the EM-X270 on, in order to get command prompt.}}~~
−	* You can use U-boot {{cmd\|dhcp}} command to obtain IP address or manually set {{parameter\|ipaddr}} and {{parameter\|serverip}} environment variables:
−	~~<pre>~~
−	~~> setenv serverip <host ip address>~~
−	~~> setenv ipaddr <EM-X270 ip address>~~
−	~~> saveenv~~
−	~~</pre>~~
−	* Next environment settings are passed to Linux Kernel and are needed for NFS root:
−	~~<pre>~~
−	~~> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<your host ip>:/path/to/rootfs console=ttyS0,115200 ip=dhcp"~~
−	~~</pre>~~
−	{{Note\|If {{parameter\|boot_mode}} environment variable is set to {{parameter\|linux}} or {{parameter\|wince}}, then it should be changed to {{parameter\|install}} and {{parameter\|bootcmd}} variable should be unset, so U-Boot will not override the {{parameter\|bootargs}} variable.}}
−	* Use the following U-boot command to boot Linux on EM-X270:
−	~~<pre>~~
−	~~> tftp a0100000 uImage && bootm~~
−	~~</pre>~~
−	* After the image is loaded you will get Linux login prompt. Login as {{parameter\|root}} into the system.
−	* Copy the kernel and Angstrom jffs2 files from {{filename\|em_x270.img}} (ext2 image inside {{filename\|LiveDisk.zip}}) to USB stick or NFS share, so you can access them from EM-X270.
−	* Now you can install kernel and filesystem images to the NAND flash either from USB stick or NFS share using standart Linux ~~MTD utilities ({{cmd\|flash_eraseall, nandwrite}}).~~
−	* Proceed to [[Getting_started_with_Linux_on_EM-X270#After_installation_and_restart\|After installation and restart]] section.
−
−	~~=== After installation and restart ===~~
−
−	* After the installation proccess completed successfully, U-Boot on EM-X270 needs the following environment variables set prior to booting from NAND flash:
−	~~<pre>~~
−	~~> setenv boot_angstrom "setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock5 rw rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200; fsload a0100000 uImage && bootm;"~~
−	~~> setenv boot_mode linux~~
−	~~> setenv nand_mode on~~
−	~~> saveenv~~
−	~~</pre>~~
−	* Now you can reset the EM-X270 and it will boot Angstrom Linux from the internal NAND flash. Note, that the first boot takes relatively much time because Angstrom Linux performs a lot of one-time initialization tasks.
