== Install the image to M.2 NVME SSD ==

This guide describes how to write images to M.2 NVME SSD.

=== Part one: Write one system image to M.2 NVME SSD with NVME to USB3.0 reader ===

====Step one: Requirements ====

This page describes how to download and install the image on a M.2 NVME SSD and boot on ROCK 5B. You need at least the following.

* ROCK 5B board with power supply
* One M.2 NVME SSD
* NVME to USB3.0 reader

====Step two: Download necessary tools and image ====

* Etcher is the tool we use to write image. Download the right Etcher for your PC from [[rock5/downloads | ROCK 5 Downloads]] page and install it. Check [https://www.balena.io/etcher/ Etcher website] for more info about Etcher.
* Choose the image you want to install from [[rock5/downloads | ROCK 5 Downloads]] page.

Here we use the following image for writing.

rock-5b-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20220906-0626-gpt.img.xz

====Step three: Write the image to M.2 NVME SSD ====

* Insert the M.2 NVME SSD into M.2 NVME SSD to USB3.0 reader, which connects to host computer.

* Run the application. For example double click balenaEtcher-1.5.116-x64.AppImage on Ubuntu 20.04:

* In the etcher window, we click button Select image.

[[File:etcher-rock-5b-1.png]]

* In the etcher window, we click button Select Drive.

[[File:etcher-rock-5b-2.png]]

* In the etcher window, we click button Flash.

[[File:etcher-rock-5b-3.png]]

* In the etcher window, it shows us Flash Complete!

Done! Now you have successfully installed the OS image on M.2 NVME SSD.

=== Part two: Erase M.2 NVME SSD ===

When M.2 NVME SSD is written with Android (or Linux) images before, now we change to Linux( or Android). It's recommended that you erase M.2 NVME SSD first. Then write the target images.

 After you write the image to NVMe SSD, to boot from the NVMe SSD, you need to write the bootloader to SPI flash. Check [[Rock5/install/spi | Install to SPI]] to boot from NVMe SSD.
