+====== QuickStart ======
 This setup helps you create standalone GET software releases which you can load and test without overwriting your old settings.

-  * extract it to your hold directory.
+  * extract it to your home directory.
   * copy update2.sh and mmSync to your home directory.
-  * edit update2.sh and change the release date and the password. If macports and Ice are still screwed up uncomment the export command there.
+  * edit update2.sh and change the release date and the password. If macports and Ice are still screwed up un-comment the export command there.
   * execute update.sh and wait for some time.
-  * when done, cd ~/GET-20140516 or whatever release number you have.
+  * when done, cd ~/GET-2014XXXX or whatever release number you have.
   * then cd runtime, make any changes to your *.xcfg files
     * you have to synchronize all your macmini farm. open a new terminal window, cd ~ then execute ./mmSync GET-20140516 or whatever version you have
     * This should copy the new release to all mac minis (if you change *.xcfg you have to redo this)
-  * If there is a new getHwServer-release-20140516.out on the wiki then download it and copy it to /mnt/local/export/filesystem/ then edit startup.vxsh accordingly.
+  * If there is a new getHwServer-release-2014XXXX.out on the wiki then download it and copy it to /mnt/local/export/filesystem/ then edit startup.vxsh accordingly.
   * cd ~/GET-2014XXXX/runtime then open multiple tabs
   * type source ../GETUP
     * in multiple tabs
   * run getEccServer and getEccClient then GetController
+====== Storing misc data in Flash ======
+Make sure CoBo is connected to [[microtca_development|JTAG]] and powered up. To store the above information in NOR flash. You should have Xilinx EDK/SDK installed. Start Xilinx command prompt environment (if you are in GNU/Linux just source the settings.sh file) if you are using Windows, go to start -> Xilinx Design Tools -> Accessories -> ISE Design Suite command prompt, once it is launched
+Change Directory to the folder where the configuration files (attached) are stored e.g. C:\CoBos_Info\configure
+  * To store vxworks type:
+xmd -nx -tcl flashwriter.tcl vx.tcl
+  * To store the mac address:
+    * edit mac.tcl
+    * for the board labeled 1233 (serial number sticker) you should use mac_addr_temac-1233.bin
+    * for the board labeled 1234 use mac_addr_temac-1234.bin
+    * You should run xmd -nx -hw system.xml -tcl flashwriter.tcl mac.tcl
+ If you want to try a firmware just start xmd by typing xmd in Xilinx shells/command prompt
+Then type: fpga –f download.bit
+This should download the bitstream and immediately start the vxworks OS.
