1.3. GIVEIO driver intallation
If the user wants to burn u-boot with the Jtage software SJF2440.exe, a driver needs to be installed to virtualize parallel port into IO port. Pay attention to the parallel port configuration under BIOS, SPP and EPP mode is recommended, but ECP mode is not recommended. The steps how to install GIVEIO is shown in the following. Step 1, Find giveio driver in the CD under the directory Windows software package\GIVEIO. Copy the file giveio.sys to your system disk, under the directory WINDOWS\system32\drivers

Chapter 2 Burning U-boot by SJF2440
Notice: Unless you destroy the u-boot in the nor flash and nand flash, you dont have to burn the u-boot by SJF2440. Before use SJF2440, below items must be required. Make sure PC has parallel interface , and set the mode of BIOS of PC as EPP the PC has been installed driver of GIVEIO parallel interface. Via JTAGs 25-pin port Connecting PCs parallel interface with the 10-pin JTAG interface on the board. Power on the board Copy the u-boot image into the directory \Windows software package\SJF2440, and make sure the u-boot image is u-boot.bin. The SJF2440 software is at the place of: EM2440-III_CD\Windows software package\SJF2440. In this case we take 3.5inch TFT LCD as a example, we copy the u-boot image for 3.5 inch into the \Windows software package\SJF2440 directory. Double click SJF2440_uboot.bat to run the software

Chapter 3 Using the U-boot to Burn the Image
EM2440-III not only supports start from Nor Flash but also supporting start from Nand Flash. When the user erased u-boot in the Nor Flash and Nand Flash, that leading the board can not start from neither Nor Flash nor Nand Flash. In this case the user must use JTAG to burn u-boot to the board. How to judge there isnt u-boot on the Nor Flash and Nand Flash: First, after the board powered on, if four green LEDs dont light on at the same time, means that there are no u-boot on the Nor Flash or Nand Flash. Second, connect with serial cable, and power on the board, and check that are there any following message printed, if no such message that means there are nothing in the Nor Flash or nand flash.

3.1 Using the U-boot to update u-boot
If you erased the u-boot on nand flash, you can burn the u-boot to the nand flash by the u-boot on Nor flash. Of course, you have to burn the u-boot by JTAG if you eased the Nor flash and Nand flash at all. Suppose the u-boot on Nor flash was not erased, We introduce the process of burning the u-boot to nand flash by the u-boot on Nor flash. Step 1: Push the botton to the Nor flash side, select booting from the Nor flash.
Step 2: Power up the board, you can enter into the u-boot menu as follows:

3.2 Using the U-boot to Burn the Linux Image
If you want to run linux system, you have to boot from nand flash. Linux system includes three parts: u-boot, kernel and root file system. The process of burning u-boot to nand flash is described in the chapter 3.1. Following, we introduce how to burn the kernel and root file system to nand flash. We suppose the u-boot has existed on nand flash. 3.2.1 Burn the kernel image Notice: The steps from 3 to 7 are just used to fomat nand flash and re-burn the u-boot. Only under two conditions, the operations are excuted: 1. The board is running Wince system, and now you want to burn linux kernel image. 2. The linux system cant run properly. Step 1: Push the button to the nand flash side, select booting from nand flash:
