Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for copying application software and DOS into the flash disk on a embedded target PC in mass production. The method is cost effective and has a very low possibility for errors. The method is comprised by the following steps: installing application software and DOS in a flash disk (F) on a first embedded (master) PC (A); copying the contents byte for byte of the said flash disk by means of an invented DOS programme, copy.exe, (1); storing this copied data in a DOS master file (2); and downloading the data to the flash disk (f) in a second embedded (target) PC (B), by means of an embedded test programme (3) in the second embedded (target) PC (B) and a strap (B.1).
