== Preliminary setup ==
 
−
* Make sure to power off the CM-T3530 evaluation platform
 
−
* Connect the host PC to the SB-T35 base-board (connector P12) via the serial cable supplied with the evaluation kit.
 
−
* Start terminal emulation software on your PC. Set baud rate to 115200 bps, 8 bit per frame, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.
 
−
* Turn on the CM-T3530 evaluation system. The U-Boot boot-loader will start and you will get a command prompt.
 
−
{{Note|If the boot settings of your CM-T3530 are different than default, you may need to press and hold ^C while turning the CM-T3530 on, in order to get command prompt.}}
 
−
CM-T3530 firmware can be updated from an MMC/SD card or using network TFTP download.
 
−
Both methods are performed from the U-Boot command line.

CM-T3530 Firmware consists of two components: X-Loader and U-Boot. The U-Boot bootloader can be installed and updated independently without updating the existing X-Loader. Please continue to [[CM-T3530: U-Boot: Firmware Update#CM-T3530_U-Boot_Update|CM-T3530 U-Boot Update]] for U-Boot installation instructions.

−
* Copy {{filename|x-load.bin.ift}} from [http://www.compulab.co.il/t3530/download/t3530-uboot.zip U-Boot package for CM-T3530] to the root directory of the MMC/SD card.
 
−
* Insert the MMC/SD card into the SD socket (P13) on SB-T35.
 
−
* Start the U-Boot MMC subsystem and check that your storage device is ready and contains the X-Loader binary
