The following steps show you how to download a run-time image to the Marvell PXA27x Processor Development Kit (MainstoneIII).

If the boot loader is already installed on the PXA27x and you have already built the run-time image, you can download the run-time image using Platform Builder for CE 6.0.

To download the run-time image to the Marvell PXA27x Processor Development Kit (MainstoneIII)

  1. Connect one end of the NULL modem cable to the COM port (BTUART) on the Marvell PXA27x Processor Development Kit (MainstoneIII), labeled J47, and connect the other end of the NULL modem cable to the COM1 port on your development workstation.

  2. On your development workstation, configure your terminal emulation software to the following settings:

    Bits per second Data bits Parity Stop bits Flow control

    38400

    8

    None

    1

    None

    This enables you to see the debug output once you have downloaded the run-time image to your device.

  3. Connect an available Ethernet cable to the Marvell PXA27x Processor Development Kit (MainstoneIII).

  4. From the File menu, choose:

**Open Project/Solution
