Hey, Yinan,
I realize it is a year later (blame mad A.D.D) but I am around to this again.
I tried to get the device to boot from a USB thumb drive without success, and during power up, it sees the device as 'Bootable USB Device' but I haven't been able to actually get it to boot to it.
I have embedded standard on it and was going to try to take the easy way out and do an install. If I need to go down the path of Compact 7, I am willing to try that, but it seems like there is a ton more information needed there (what memory address to boot etc).
Do you know the normal magic keystroke to get an embedded device to boot to the USB drive? I tried the normal buttons you would use from a Windows PC (del, ins, F2,F5,F8,F10 etc) without success.
I opened the box up and there is only one jumper (3 pairs of pins). I tried moving the jumper and seeing if that would allow me to boot to the usb but no joy.
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated, I have downloaded the eval of Platform Builder, so I am not averse to trying that path, if you have any good reading about it that would be nice. Seems like a much steeper learning curve to deploy OSes to embedded devices!
Thanks,
Bob
