Creating a bootable SD card

Follow the steps below:
  1. Insert the SD card into an SD-Reader attached to the desktop computer (an SD-card is supplied with the CM-T3530 evaluation kit).
  2. Download and install HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, version 2.0.6. Please note that other versions of the utility might not work properly.
  3. Launch the utility.

  • Copy only the MLO file from the LiveDisk folder (stored in the downloaded zip file) to the SD-Card.

  • Copy the rest of the files from the LiveDisk folder to the SD-Card.

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.

  • 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.
