I have built a file named EBoot.bin. However, what tool I can use to
download it to my device?

thanks,
lu

You will need to tell us more about your device. Is it custom hardware? Is
it a reference platform? Do you have a JTAG connection? Is there already a
bootloader running on it?

The device is called eBOX-II, which has Vortex86 200MHz CPU, 128MB DRAM,
BIOS, LAN, Keyboard and Mouse. I don't use JTAG connection. Instead, I use
Ethernet connection.

There is already a bootloader in it. So, whenever I boot the device, I was
prompted to select one of the following options
1. Boot CE/PC (local nk.bin with /L:800x600x32)
2. Boot CE/PC (ether via EBoot.bin with /L:800x600x32)
...
...
...
7. clean boot.

What I want to do is to build my own bootloader and run it on my device
(through any kind of method)

thanks,
lu

Ok, that's a PC device so you are currently using DOS and LOADCEPC.EXE +
EBOOT.BIN as the bootloader. You can skip DOS and LOADCEPC by using the
BIOSLOADER. You can take that code an extend it as you see fit.

Sorry that I don't quite understand it... Can you give me more detail? For
example, how to use BIOSLOADER and how to download my own bootloader to the
PC device and run it.

thanks,

search for BIOSLOADER in the Platform Builder help - then look at the source
code for the BIOSLOADER

But, I don't have disk or floppy on my device... Can I still use BIOSLOADER?

Yes you do! You said there is already a boot loader on the device and
described the DOS/LOADCEPC loader UI precisely. Whatever is storing that can
be replaced with the BIOSLOADER. Where that is stored and How you replace it
will depend on the hardware involved - contact the manufacturer for
information on replacing the loader provided.
