The first stage is the Lantronix boot loader, which is present on both the Evolution OS and Linux based products. The Lantronix boot loader is marked as read-only, so it cannot be overwritten accidentally. The second stage is the dBUG boot loader, which is responsible for loading Linux. It also contains options for downloading and flashing new kernel and filesystem images. This section describes dBUG in more detail. Installing dBUG The dBUG boot loader comes pre-installed with the Linux development kits. Replacing the boot loader image should not be necessary, but instructions for doing so are given below. 1. Connect an RS232 cable between a Windows PC COM Port (e.g. COM1 for the following steps) and one of serial ports on the target device e.g. MatchPort AR (CON1 on the eval board), XPort Pro (Port A on the demo board), EDS1100 (Serial), or EDS2100 (Serial 1). Close any existing software connections to COM1. 2. Run the Lantronix DeviceInstaller Utility on the Windows computer.
