Flashing EBOOT¶

1. On a Windows PC extract the "criticallink-ce6.zip"
2. Connect a serial cable from your Windows PC to the Industrial IO Development Kit and then power on the development kit
3. From a command prompt on a Windows PC, run "sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -erase -p COMx" (replace x with the appropriate port number), from the directory where you extracted the criticallink-ce6.zip files
4. Press the "Boot" button on the development kit and while keeping the button pressed press the "reset" button on the development kit board. At this time you should see the following status bar shown on the Windows PC command prompt:

5. Once the above step is complete then run "sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -flash -p COMx -appStartAddr 0xc7f60000 -appLoadAddr 0xc7f60000 arm-spi-ais.bin EBOOTSPIFLASH.nb0" on your Windows PC from the same command prompt
6. Press the "Boot" button on the development kit and while keeping the button pressed press the "Reset" button on the development kit board. At this time you should see the following status bar shown on the Windows PC command prompt:
