{{Note|In the SB-FX6 the SD card is installed on the base's SDIO 3 slot (P6)}}

== Setting Up a Console ==
* Obtain a PC workstation with a serial communication port. If your desktop does not have a serial port, it is possible to use a standard USB to serial adapter.
* Connect the CM-FX6 to your desktop serial port with the cable supplied in the evaluation kit.
* Any terminal emulation application can be used to display messages sent from the serial port of the target.
* Configure the terminal application with the following communications parameters:
** Baud rate: 115200
** Parity: None
** Data bits: 8
** Stop bits: 1
** Flow control: None

== Creating a bootable SD card ==
* Download the latest [http://compulab.co.il/products/computer-on-modules/cm-fx6/#devres WEC 7.0 runtime image for CM-FX6] and unzip the package to a directory on the host PC.
* Use cfimager.exe to create a disk with a partition table geometry which is compatible with the FX6 boot ROM.
: Follow the following steps:
# Insert the SD card into an SD-Reader attached to the desktop computer (an SD-card is supplied with the CM-FX6 evaluation kit).
# Launch Windows standard Command Prompt utility - cmd.exe (located in the {{filename|Start->Accessories->CommandPromt}}).
# Navigate to the {{filename|LiveDisk}} folder that can be found inside the unziped package.
# Use the following commands to flash the bootloader and the run-time image:
#:- cfimager -f eboot.nb0 -d <sd card reader drive letter without colon> -imx53 -a
#:- cfimager -f nk.nb0 -d <sd card reader drive letter without colon> -imx53 <br> [[Image:cfimager.jpg]]<br>
# Your SD card is now ready to boot the CM-FX6.
{{Note | The cfimager.exe is a standard utility that is implemented and maintained by Freescale Semiconductor.}}

== Booting the system ==
* Install the bootable SD card on the SB-FX6 SDIO 3 slot (P6).
* Power on the device.
* Type ''run run_eboot'' in U-Boot. For further details about startup boot sequence configuration, please refer to [[CM-FX6: WEC7: U-Boot Programming | U-Boot Programming]].
* The CompuLab WinCE demo image is loaded from the SD card.
* A Windows Embedded Compact 7 desktop will appear on the display connected to the HDMI port within a few seconds.
