Info

Now your board should be ready to go. Don't forget to power it on when your ready. Preparing the Compact Flash (Only when necessary) The compact flash should already be formatted correctly as FAT12 or FAT16. After connecting the board insert the compact flash and power up the board. If the CF is not formatted correctly the LED labeled: SACE ERR would be a solid red color as shown in illustration 1. 10
Illustration 1: SACE ERR, CF card is not being read correctly In this case, one would need to reformat the CF and place the factory default files back into it. <strong>Xilinx</strong> provides a tutorial on how to do this: http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml506/ml506_12.1/images.htm However, my attempts at their tutorial using the dd tool did not work. You can try for yourself if you want. (For the records, I tried this using Windows 7 and I am getting either a nonexistent file error or a permissions error, even with administrative privileges) I managed to reformat the CF by another method, described below. (with the help of this: http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/14456.htm) If you are going to reformat the CF, follow the directions carefully. Failure to do so might cause the primary hard drive to be erased . The following items are required: • Windows XP (I have not confirmed that it works with Windows 7, you can try though) • mkdosfs.exe (http://www.plunder.com/MKDOSFS-for-Windows-Format-drives-largerthan-32GB-as-FAT-or-FAT32-download-f738e8fe97.htm) • Compact flash reader (order at Newegg.com, or some other electronics store) • <strong>ML506</strong> factory CF files, go here: http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml506/ml506_12.1/images.htm 11
