   Applications

   - Autostart (started at boot time)

     Used to automatically launch applications from the 
     removable storage (SD-Card, CF-Card, USB Stick etc)
     at start up. Standard Windows CE autostart functions 
     don't work with removable storage devices.

     By default configured to automatically launch Startup.exe 
     application found in the root of SD-Card or CF-Card memory. 
     See "Autostart" section in Platform.reg for details.


   - Remote App Launcher (started at boot time)

     Used to remotely execute a command line on device. 


   - Test application

     Sample application, demonstrating the use of Power 
     Management and GPIO API.

 

   III. Booting Demo OS Images from onboard FLASH memory
  ======================================================================= 


   1. Connect STK3 board to the host PC using a null-modem cable.

   2. Connect STK3 board to the LAN or directly to the host PC 
      using the corresponding network cable. 

   3. On the host side start Your prefered terminal program 
      (eg. HyperTerminal for Windows platforms or Minicom for -nixes).

   4. Setup connection as follow: 
 
      Baudrate   - 38400
      Data bits  - 8
      Stop bits  - 1
      Parity     - No parity checking  

  5. Power on STK3 board.

  6. In terminal window, hit CTRL+C to interrupt default 
     boot script actions.

  7. Use "fconfig" command to configure network settings. 

  8. Use "fis init" command to prepare flash file system.

     RedBoot> fis init -f

  9. Download OS image to RAM address 0xA0100000 using TFTP 
     or X-Modem link.


     Downloading image using TFTP server: 

     RedBoot> load -h tftp_ip_address_or_host_name -b 0xA0100000 -r image_file_name.bin


     Downloading image using X-Modem:

     RedBoot> load -m xmodem -b 0xA0100000 -r


  10. Use "fis unlock" command to unlock flash.

      RedBoot> fis unlock -f 0x00040000 -l image_file_size

     
  11. Use "fis create" command to store OS image to flash file system.

      RedBoot> fis create -f 0x00040000 -b 0xA0100000 -l image_file_size wince


  12. Use "fis load" and "go" commands to launch OS image manually or
      automatically from the boot script. 

      Example:

      RedBoot> clock -s 520
      RedBoot> fis load wince
      RedBoot> go


   IV. Booting Demo OS Images from VS2005 IDE
  ======================================================================= 


   1. Connect STK3 board to the host PC using a null-modem cable.

   2. Connect STK3 board to the LAN or directly to the host PC 
      using the corresponding network cable. 
 
   3. On the host side start Your prefered terminal program 
      (eg. HyperTerminal for Windows platforms or Minicom for -nixes).

   4. Setup connection as follow: 
 
      Baudrate   - 38400
      Data bits  - 8
      Stop bits  - 1
      Parity     - No parity checking  

   5. Power on STK3 board.

   6. In terminal window, hit CTRL+C to interrupt default 
      boot script actions.

   7. Use "fconfig" command to configure network settings. 

   8. Use "ceconnect" command to connect to Platform Builder IDE.
      This can be done either manually or automatically from the 
      boot script. 
 
      Example:

      RedBoot> clock -s 520
      RedBoot> ceconnect -h 255.255.255.255

   9. In VS2005 IDE, go to "Target" -> "Connectivity Options"
      and set up the following configuration:

      Target Device   Windows CE Device
      Download        Ethernet
      Transport       None
      Debugger        None    

  10. Click "Download" -> "Settings" button.

  11. The device, currently running "ceconnect -h 255.255.255.255" 
      command, should be listed in the "Active Devices" list. 

  12. Select the desired device and click "OK" to close settings 
      dialog.

  13. Click "Apply" and then "Close" button to close "Device 
      Connectivity Options" dialog.

  14. In VS2005 IDE, go to "Target" -> "Attach Device" and 
      slect one of the demo images \OS Images\image_file_name.bin. 

  15. Wait until the image is downloaded and booted up.
