3.4 Software Configuration
3.4.1 Starting Windows NT ARC Firmware
Start the Windows NT ARC firmware using the following procedure.
1. Verify that the jumper from J14-2 to J14-3 is inserted, allowing the flash
ROM to be written. If the Windows NT ARC firmware is unable to write to
flash ROM, it prints the device error message and stops.
2. Verify that the jumper at J1–25/26 is installed (see CONF11 on the
module). The presence of the jumper at J1–25/26 forces the serial
ROM firmware to load the alternate image selected by the value in the
nonvolatile TOY RAM. The absence of this jumper overrides the value
stored in the TOY RAM and causes the first image, the debug monitor, to
be loaded.
3. Turn on the power to the EB164. After the power-up diagnostics are run,
the ARC console boot menu appears on the graphics display.
If the ARC console boot menu does not appear, check the output of COM1
for error messages and review your hardware configuration.
You are ready for software installation. Refer to the Alpha Microprocessors
Evaluation Board Windows NT 3.51 Installation Guide for instructions.

5. Turn off the power to the EB164, then turn the power back on.

(CONF11 on the module), then turn on the power to the EB164.
