Re: How do I deploy my Image to the Target Device?



Hello,

Sounds like you have a good start.

As for the command prompt, when Target Designer asked you to choose a shell
did you by chance choose the Command Shell? If your looking for the standard
explorer shell choose "Explorer Shell" instead.

HTH,
Brad
