link for additional software information.
3.2. Gateworks System Controller
The GSC Gateworks System Controller is a custom battery-backed micro-controller
designed by Gateworks to implement many of the embedded features found on the
board. A complete list of GSC features is shown in the table below. The GSC
communicates with the processor I2C interface and the GPIO signal configured as an

3.3. JTAG Programming
One method of programming the Flash with application
software is through the JTAG programming interface using
the GW16099 USB JTAG Programmer. The GW16099
USB JTAG Programming Adapter transfers the application
software from the developer’s computer to the flash memory. Follow the
link for JTAG programmer instructions. The GW16099
