You can use a serial port connection to download or debug a run-time image.
For target devices that do not have an Ethernet connection, download and debug using multiple serial ports. To download through a serial port, a serial boot loader is required. A serial boot loader (Sboot.bin) is provided on the x86 boot floppy disk. For more information about boot loaders, see Boot Loaders.
