+=== Windows ===

+A port of dd is available for Windows from XX. We have sucessfully tested verison 0.6b3 on Win 7 64-bit.
+
+Download dd.exe from the site above. Rename it win-dd.exe (to avoid conflicting with the dd.exe included with XPS) and place it somewhere in your Windows path.
+
+'''Finding the SD card descriptor:'''[[BR]]
+ 1. Insert the SD card. Take note of which drive letter it is assigned.
+ 1. Open a command prompt and run {{{win-dd --list}}}. The output will be similar to:
+{{{
+C:\xps_proj\SDK_Workspace\MyProj_hw_platform>win-dd --list
+rawwrite dd for windows version 0.6beta3.

+ 3. In this system the SD card is mounted as '''F:''' in Windows Explorer. According to the output above, the corresponding device descriptor is '''\\?\Device\HarddiskVolume7'''.
+
+'''NOTE''': The actual device descriptor on your system is probably different than this example. '''Always''' check the current descriptor before copying to the SD card.

+
+'''Copying the .bin file:'''[[BR]]
+ 1. Run this command, replacing the last three arguments with the correct values:
+{{{
+win-dd bs=512 seek=<N> if=<yourFile.bin> of=</dev/diskX> --progress
+}}}
+  1. ''<N>'': depends on the target slot number; see the list above
+  1. ''<yourFile.bin>'': the binary FPGA configuration file
+  1. ''</dev/diskX>'': device descriptor for the SD card
+ 1. If successful, dd should report the following (the time/throughput values will differ):
+{{{
+18032+1 records in
+18032+1 records out
+9232444 bytes transferred in 8.503631 secs (1085706 bytes/sec)
+}}}
+ 1. Repeat for additional .bin config files if needed.
+ 1. Eject the SD card in the Finder (if it's mounted).
