1.Apply power to the SOM-4486 application with a color TFT dis- play attached. This is the default setting for the SOM-4486 series. Make sure that the AWDFLASH.EXE and *.BIN files are located in the working drive.

Note:

Make sure that you do not run AWDFLASH.EXE

 

while your system is operating in EMM386 mode.

2.At the prompt, type AWDFLASH.EXE and press <Enter>. The VGA configuration program will then display the following:
