Connecting the module

The following picture shows the recommended evaluation kit setup for the SB-T3X.

In the CM-T3730 the SD card is installed on the module's micro SD slot (P5)

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 CM-T3730 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 the desktop computer (an SD-card is supplied with the CM-T3730 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, 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 CM-T3730.

Install the bootable SD card on the CM-T3730 micro SD slot (P5).
Power on the device. A synthetic splash-screen (4 colored squares) will appear on LCD display within a few seconds.
The CompuLab WinCE demo image is loaded from the SD card.
