The following image files are available for the SAM9M10-EKES, SAM9M10 G45-EK and SAM9RLEK platforms:

The procedure is a little bit different depending on the windows version used. If a linux host is used, see http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/GettingStarted#Flashing_a_demo_on_AT91_boards for information about how to flash the demo image.

When the platform is started with a demo image, the Wi-Fi device can be used according to description in the UseDrivers topics.

NOTE: The wpa_supplicant is included in the demo image and is launched at boot time. If you wan't to evaluate the Wi-Fi device using wireless tools, make sure to shutdown the wpa_supplicant first.
