90 >Although there are other possible configurations, RedBoot is usually
91 run from the target platform’s flash boot sector or boot ROM, and is
92 designed to run when your system is initially powered on. The method used
93 to install the RedBoot image into non-volatile storage varies from platform
94 to platform. In general, it requires that the image be programmed into flash
95 in situ or programmed into the flash or ROM using a device programmer. In
96 some cases this will be done at manufacturing time; the platform being delivered
97 with RedBoot already in place. In other cases, you will have to program RedBoot
98 into the appropriate device(s) yourself. Installing to flash in situ may require
99 special cabling or interface devices and software provided by the board manufacturer.
100 The details of this installation process for a given platform will be found
101 in Installation and Testing. Once installed, user-specific configuration options
102 may be applied, using the <B
106 providing that persistent data storage in flash is present in the relevant
