Hi group

I am new to XPembedded and I am configuring my first project.
What I want to do is to have the image on a CF disk on the client. If the
device starts it should load the image into RAM and run out of the RAM
(only!). There should be now CF disk accesses, so that the disk is
absolutely safe and could even be turned off.

Is this possible and what do I have to add and set up?
Thanks for your help

Hi Andy

Thanks for the link. I looked into it. This does what I was looking for ..
except for the fact that the system is still run from the CF card.
I hoped to find something like the following upon boot:
- prepare RAM drive
- load system from CF to RAM drive
- start system from RAM (and no further accesses to the CF from now on)
It would somehow be like a remote boot from network (PXE) except that the
source for the image is the local CF instead of the network remote boot
server.

Thanks again
Franz
