    Hi,
    What's the mechanism to automatically have a board boot WinCE without having to manually do so? In otherwords, once there's an image programmed in Flash, if reset is pressed or power applied, how do I automatically get the board to boot up into WinCE?

    I know you can add to the "exec" line in /dev/serial_eeprom the starting address of where the image is located, along with all the other bootline parameters, but how do you automate the "source /dev/serial_eeprom" part of it?

    TIA,
    /michel

    Excellent question. You are on the right track storing the "exec ..." command line in the serial EEPROM. To have LoLo automatically start this script, "name" it "LOLO." By name it, I mean that if the first four bytes in the serial EEPROM are "LOLO", the LogicLoader software will grab everything after it and up to a newline and treat it like a command typed at the "LOSH>" prompt.

    For more information, and an example, please see the LogicLoader's user guide. There is an entire section in that document detailing how to do this. If it still isn't clear, please post back and I'll help out some more.

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    Ah, great. I'll try that. I had read that in the documentation, but didn't put 2 and 2 together.
    Thanks,
