= Prepare for Troubleshooting =
* Ensure that the entire LiveDisk directory contents is copied to USB flash drive. Mixing the contents of different LiveDisk releases can lead to unexpected Updater failures.
* If you experience any problems during the installation, connect the serial console as described in [[EM-X270:_WinCE:_Console_Setup| EM-X270 Serial Console Setup]].
* Use [[#Successful Installation Log|successful installation serial log]] as reference during the troubleshooting.

= USB Failure in U-boot =

== Example of USB failure in U-boot ==
<pre>
U-Boot 1.2.0-em-x270 (Nov 18 2008 - 14:20:46)

Zeroing memory...
DRAM: 128 MB
Flash: 1 MB
NAND: mtd driver deactivated - 0 MiB
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
## Executing script at 00070000
============ External Boot Script ===============
No MMC card found
(Re)start USB...
USB: scanning bus for devices... ERROR: submit_control_message: pipesize for p
ipe 80000000 is zero

USB device not accepting new address (error=80000000)
2 USB Device(s) found
scanning bus for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found
** Can't read from device 0 **

** Unable to use usb 0:1 for fatload **
stopping USB..
</pre>

== USB Troubleshooting ==
* Try to use different USB flash drive, i.e. different manufacturer or smaller size.
* Ensure that USB flash drive is formatted with FAT32
* Try different '''USB-A receptacle to mini-USB A male adapter'''

== TFTP Alternative ==
If you experience any USB boot problem in U-boot you can boot the Updater OS via TFTP. The EB-X270 extender board is required for this procedure.
* Install TFTP service (or server) on the host PC. The TFTP server tested by CompuLab is [http://tftpd32.jounin.net TFTPD32], it is also included in the Linux and WinCE distribution packages.
* Copy {{filename|nk_uppdater.nb0}} file from LiveDisk directory to the TFTP directory.
* Turn on the EM-X270. U-Boot will start and you will get a command prompt.
* Type {{cmd|printenv}} in order to inspect current network settings.
* In order to modify the network settings use U-boot {{cmd|dhcp}} command to obtain IP address or manually set {{parameter|ipaddr}} environment variable:
<pre>
> setenv ipaddr <CM-T3530 ip address>
</pre>
* Set {{parameter|serverip}} environment variable:
<pre>
> setenv serverip <host ip address>
</pre>
* Type the following command to launch the updater:
<pre>> tftp a0001000 nk_updater.nb0; go a0001000 </pre>

= Usb Failure in Updater OS =
Sometimes the USB flash drive is not properly detected in Updater OS.
In such case the Updater application pops up '''"Can't find script file"''' message dialog.
:[[Image:EM_X270_Updater_Failure1.jpg|320px]]
{{Note|For each Updater error more detailed information can be found in serial console log.}}
== SD Card Alternative ==
Due to U-boot limitations the USB flash drive is required for the Updater OS boot.
An SD card can be used as alternative source for the files required by the Updater application.
Usage of SD card requires a slight modification in the {{Filename|LiveDisk\script.xml}} file. The source storage <access_information> tag should use {{Filename|SD}} as <device_type> and {{Filename|\Storage Card}} as <mount_path>.

The <source_storage> definition for the SD card usage would be:
<pre>
<updater version="1.0">
<source_storage>
<access_information>
<device_type>SD</device_type>
<mount_path>\Storage Card</mount_path>
</access_information>
</source_storage>
</updater>
</pre>

= Successful Installation Log =
Below presented the successful installation serial console log. You can use this log as a reference during the installation troubleshooting.
