Creating a bootable SD card
| 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 WinCE 6.0 runtime image for CM-T3530 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-T3530 evaluation kit).
 - Launch the TI_SDCard_boot utility (located in the Utils folder).
 - Choose the drive letter of the SD reader. 

 - Select the MLO file from the LiveDisk folder.

 - Select the rest of the files in the LiveDisk folder.

 - Select the FAT 32 filesystem and 4096 bytes allocation unit size in the Format Removable Disk pop-up and start the SD card format process.

 - 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. 

 - Your SD card is now ready to boot the CM-T3530.
 
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.
 
- 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.
