p ITX-SP Software Guide
Some Linux distributions already offer an extensive SDIO/microSD card support.
Example: Fedora ® 11 Live CD
At least a microSD card with 4 Gbyte is needed for the installation. Confirm the icon Install to Hard Drive
and follow all instructions until you come to the partitioning part. In the combo box field with the default
setting
Replace existing Linux system select the option Create custom layout. Any existing partition
must be deleted. Afterwards you have to create a boot partition with 200 MByte (/boot) with ext2 the
remaining space can be partitioned with ext4 (/). After this the standard installation can be proceeded.
The operating system seems to be installed correctly but anyhow the above mentioned modifications must
be applied to make the microSD card bootable.
5.3 Windows ® XP and Windows ® 7 Boot
Direct installation of Windows ® XP and Windows ® 7 on a microSD card is not possible at the moment. To
boot Windows ® an existing installation can be transferred to the microSD card. At request KONTRON deli-
vers a tool to copy a running installation to microSD card and make the necessary modifications to the OS
image. For further information please contact your local distributor or KONTRON for technical support.
5.4 Windows ® XP Embedded or Windows ® 7 Embedded Boot
