     145== Cygwin ==
     146
     147[https://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin] is a set of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. 
     148
     149Install your preferred set of tools from the Cygwin distribution using the installer on the site above.  By default, the two commands you need:  {{{fdisk}}} and {{{dd}}} are part of the default installation in /usr/sbin and /usr/bin, respectively.

     151'''Finding the SD card descriptor:'''[[BR]]
     152 1. Insert the SD card
     153 1. Open the Cygwin Terminal '''as Administrator'''.  In that terminal run {{{/usr/sbin/fdisk -l}}}.
     154 1. Find the SD card in the list of disks. The descriptor will have the form {{{/dev/<something>}}}
     155  1. On our test system (Windows 7 64-bit, PC with one internal hard drive; one external hard drive), the output is:
     156{{{

     194  2. In this output, the first disk is the computer's internal hard drive.  The second disk is the computer's external hard drive.  The third disk is the SD card (notice the capacity of approx 2GB, with 1 32MB FAT partition).
     195  2. In this example, the SD card device descriptor to use with dd is {{{/dev/sdc}}}.
     196
     197'''Copying the .bin file:'''[[BR]]
     198 1. Run this command, replacing the last three arguments with the correct values:
     199{{{
     200/usr/bin/dd bs=512 seek=<N> if=<yourFile.bin> of=</dev/someDevice>
     201}}}
     202  1. ''<N>'': depends on the target slot number; use (131072 + slotNum*32768). More details [wiki:..#Copying.binFilesSDCards here].
     203  1. ''<yourFile.bin>'': the binary FPGA configuration file
     204  1. ''</dev/someDevice>'': device descriptor for the SD card
     205 1. If successful, dd should report the following (the time/throughput values will differ):
     206{{{
     20718032+1 records in
     20818032+1 records out
     2099232444 bytes (9.2 MB) copied, 7.50747 s, 1.2 MB/s
     210}}}
     211 1. Repeat for additional .bin config files in additional slots if needed.
     212
     213'''Error Messages:'''
     214 1. If when you run {{{/usr/sbin/fdisk -l}}}, you get the following output:
     215{{{
     216Cannot open /dev/sda
     217Cannot open /dev/sdb
     218Cannot open /dev/sdc
     219}}}
     220  then you are not running the Cygwin terminal as Administrator.
     221 1. If when you run {{{/usr/bin/dd bs=512 seek=<N> if=<yourFile.bin> of=</dev/someDevice>}}}, you get the following output:
     222{{{
     223/usr/bin/dd: opening `/dev/someDevice': Permission denied
     224}}}
     225  then you are not running the Cygwin terminal as Administrator.
