IA260 WinCE User’s Manual Getting Started

Boot Loader

Three functions are provided to enhance the stability of the operating system.

y Reset to default—This function allows users to load the factory default into the IA260.

y Format storage flash—CE 6.0 is a FAT-based system. The system cannot work well when

the FAT table is crashed. This function allows users to format the file system and reboot

IA260.

y Firmware upgrade—The latest firmware can be downloaded from Moxa’s website. See

Appendix A for instructions on how to upgrade the firmware.

Use the following procedure to access the boot loader menu from the serial console:

Step 1: Power off the IA260-CE.

Step 2: Connect the serial console cable to your PC.

create a new terminal. Use these settings: Baudrate = 115200, Hardware Flow Control =

None, Data bits = 8, Parity = None, Stop bits = 1, Terminal = VT100.

Step 4: Activate this terminal window on your PC.

Step 5: Hold down the “DEL” key.

Step 6: Power on the IA260-CE.

the console utility of the target computer. This method is particularly useful when using the target

computer for the first time.

program (e.g., HyperTerminal). Use the following console port settings.
