Burn BIOS based on WindowsXP

Note: Some customer report that some SD reader build in Notebook can’t work, in this case, you can try to use the common USB reader.

in addition, SD-Flasher will partition 130M for free space at least, as a result , some SD card less that 256M can’t work, we recommend the 4GB SD card at least, because the image file is quite large.

Step1;Run the SD-flasher.exe located in \tools\ in the CD-ROM, please note the “Relayout” and “Reformat” button is invalid, we disable the function in windows XP.

Superboot can’t be seen after its been burned in SD card. How can we detect it? Plug the SD card into the development board and set the switch S2 to “SDBOOT” side. After power-on, the flickering Led1 indicates the superboot working. If the LED1 doesn’t flash or no output show in serial monitor, it means the burning failed.
