><P
>The Windows/CE environment originally shipped with the iPAQ contains a hidden
mini-loader, sometimes referred to as the "Parrot" loader.  This loader can
be started by holding down the action button (the joypad) while resetting
the unit or when powering on.  At this point, a blue bird will appear on
the LCD screen.  Also at this point, a simple loader can be accessed over the
serial port at 115200/8N1.  Using this loader, the contents of the iPAQ flash
memory can be saved to a Compact Flash memory card.

>NOTE: </B
>We have only tested this operation with a 32Mbyte CF memory card.
Given that the backup will take 16MBytes + 1KByte, something more than a 16MByte
card will be required.</P
></BLOCKQUOTE
></DIV
></P
><P
>Use the "r2c" command to dump Flash contents to the CF memory card.  Once this
completes, RedBoot can be installed with no fear since the Parrot loader can
be used to restore the Flash contents at a later time.</P
><P
>If you expect to completely recover the state of the iPAQ Win/CE environment, then
HotSync should be run to backup all "RAM" files as well before installing RedBoot.</P
><P
>The next step in installing RedBoot on the iPAQ actually involves Windows/CE,
which is the native environment on the unit.  Using WinCE, you need to
install an application which will run a RAM based version of RedBoot. Once
this is installed and running, RedBoot can be used to update the flash with
a native/ROM version of RedBoot.       <P

displayed by Windows (Mobile Device), but rather the 'My Pocket PC' folder
within it.</P

screen parameters. It does this by displaying a keyboard graphic and asks
you to press certain keys.  Using the stylus, press and hold until the prompt
is withdrawn. When you lift the stylus, RedBoot will continue with the next
calibration.    </P

calibration step can be skipped by pressing the <SPAN
