Rupin, Bootloaders for arm systems generally look a lot different than the bios/grub combination you might be used to with x86, but as with x86 you do need a bootloader. I would checkout your specific platform and see if someone has already ported a bootloader (u-boot and redboot are very common). If it's currently running WinCE then there is a good chance the only way to get the bootloader on the unit is to use a JTAG device. thanks, Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
