The installation tool starts automatically and (using the serial console) displays the following menu:
#===========================================# # TQ Embedded Operating System Installation # #===========================================# U-Boot configuration found Which Operating System? 1) Linux 2) Windows 3) Exit Type Number:
Entering a number will start the installation of the corresponding OS image and show its progress.

Once the installation is finished the message “Press any key to restart” is displayed.
