Appendix N –
Modify DOS Startup Option
The flash storage provided as part of the jump start kit is configured to boot to DOS and provides
multiple options to launch the Loadcepc.exe bootloader with different command line options as shown
in figure M1.

The default selection, will execute after 15 seconds delay. During the initial 15 seconds delay, you can
select and execute the other options, using the arrow up/down key or press the associated numeric key.
You can change the default selected option and the delay time. To change the default option, use a text
editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file located in the root of the flash storage as follow:
•
Scenario: Let’s say you are using the Cross-over Ethernet cable to connect your
development workstation directly to the target device. You need to configure the
development workstation and target device to use static IP addresses. It would be
convenience for the target device to launch “Option 3”, “Load OS image from
development station with Static IP 192.168.2.232”, as the default selection. To save
time, it’s also good to shorten the delay time from 15 seconds to 5 seconds.
•
Use a text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file at the root of the flash storage’s file system,
as follow:
Locate the following entry within CONFIG.SYS:
Menudefault=1LOCAL, 15
Change the the above entry to the following:
Menudefault=3STATIC, 5
If you are not familiar with DOS batch file, take a look at the AUTOEXEC.BAT file locates at the root of
the file system. When the target device is powered on with the preconfigured DOS, it references the
startup configuration from CONFIG.SYS and executes the AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file. To have better
understanding, view the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files using a text editor.
Here is the source code listing for the CONFIG.SYS file, the DOS startup configuration file:
