=== XELK 3.5.0 ===
Then copy the kernel, dtb and boot.scr into the SD card first partion (the FAT one) and boot XELK with the new images.
===Host setup===
As stated previously, XELK host tools are based on a [[Managed_Virtual_Machine_(MVM)|Managed Virtual Machine]]. As indicated [[Axel_Embedded_Linux_Kit_(XELK)#XELK_microSD_Layout|here]], microSD card delivered along with XELK includes basic version of MVM that is the default option.
Please follows the README file on the SD card to extract the ''*.ova'' archive and to install the MVM.
It is also worth remembering that access to git repositories is required to download target source code. To enable it, please refer to [[Accessing_DAVE_Embedded_Systems_restricted_git_repositories|this page]].
{{ImportantMessage|text=The MVM provides the tools required to build [[Building_U-Boot_(XELK)|U-boot]] and [[Building_Linux_kernel_(XELK)|Linux kernel]]. It does not include the tools required to run Yocto build system instead.}}
XELK MVM can be downloaded [https://cloud.dave.eu/ws-reserved-area-xelk/XELK-3.0.1 here]. For accessing <b><i>XELK Reserved area</i></b> please contact our [mailto:sales@dave.eu sales department]
===Target configuration for the development stage (<code>net_nfs</code>)===
{{ImportantMessage|text=The default XELK Virtual Machine network configuration is using NAT: this allows to accessing external network (i.e. Internet) using the host computer's networking connection.
For software development using <code>net_nfs</code> with tftp/nfs protocols, please configure your VM network interface in ''Bridge mode'' (see below)}}
During the development stage, the target is usually connected via Ethernet LAN to the host machine and is configured to:
*retrieve binary images (i.e. Linux kernel) via TFTP protocol
*mount the development root file system via NFS protocol. This root file system is physically in the file system of the host machine as depicted [[Deploying_Embedded_Linux_Systems#The_development_environment|here]]. An example of ''Bridge mode'' configuration for DIVELK can be found [[Booting_from_NFS_(XELK) | here]]
In DAVE Embedded Systems development kits, this configuration is generally denoted as <code>net_nfs</code>. U-Boot bootloader supports this configuration. Some U-Boot environment variables are needed to set it up. They are detailed [[Booting_Linux_Kernel#Configuration_net_nfs|here]].
For more details about TFTP and NFS servers on host side, please refer to this [[Setting_up_tftp_and_nfs|page]].
===Target configuration for standalone boot===
Please refer to [[Standalone_boot_(XELK)|this page]].
