The following picture shows the recommended evaluation kit setup

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 EM-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 a desktop computer (an SD-card is supplied with the EM-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 press "Close", 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 EM-T3530.

Insert the bootable SD card into the SD socket (connector P11 on the EM-T3530).
Power on the device by pressing SW1. 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. The updater image boot time is approximately 50 seconds.
The Updater utility starts automatically. The utility installs the runtime image onto the EM-T3530 NAND flash.

Remove the SD card. Otherwise, the installation process will be repeated the next time you boot the device.
Use the reset button (SW2) to reboot the device.
CompuLab WinCE demo image is loaded from the NAND flash.

Please refer to CM-T3530 Updater Guide for the technical installation process details
