Write SD image to SD card

Windows

There are two methods to write the image to SD card on Windows:

Use Win32DiskImager application
Use the SD_Firmware_Tool provided by Rockchip.

See the readme in the individual image zip file for additional information on which tool to use.

Before beginning, you will need to prepare a high quality SD card of at least 8GB. A poor quality SD card will result in boot failures.

2)Unzip the file and Run the SD_Firmware_Tool.exe under SD_Firmware_Tool_v1.43 directory

3) Select the SD card you will flash

4)restore the SD card first.

5) Select "SD Boot " and right firmware, then click "Create" button

Power off the rock, insert the SD card, then power on, the rock is booting with the images on SD card.

Linux

We use dd in Linux to write the image:

   sudo dd if=radxa_rock_xxxx_sdcard.img of=/dev/sdx              # x is the disk name of your uSD card on your PC

Mac OS X

We use dd and Apple's diskutil utility to write the image:

Run diskutil list to determine the drive associated the SD card (ex: /dev/disk4)
Unmount the existing disk sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX where X is the disk name of your uSD card on your PC
Write the image file to the uSD card sudo dd if=radxa_rock_xxxx_sdcard.img of=/dev/diskX where X is the disk name of your uSD card on your PC
