This guide describes how to install the raw images to Radxa Zero eMMC. Raw images is compared to amlupdate format image(which is a private image format). Raw images can be mount and open on host PCs. Most of the Linux images released are raw images. Android on the other hand contains images of its partitions, which result in many raw images that can't be flashed like Linux distro.

===== Step 1: Wipe eMMC =====
+
If you have existing data that you want to keep, this is your last chance to do so. Please follow [[Zero/dev/maskrom#Enable_maskrom | maskrom guide]] to load <code>rz-udisk-loader.bin</code> and make backup accordingly.
  
−
Please follow [[Zero/install/eMMC_erase#Windows | this guide]] to wipe eMMC. Do not close RZ USB Boot Helper when you finish.
+
Now follow [[Zero/install/eMMC_erase | eMMC erase guide]] to wipe out the existing system. Your computer should detect a new storage device after the file is loaded.
  
−
===== Step 2A: Flash Linux images =====
+
You can now flash your Linux image using balenaEtcher similar to [[Zero/getting_started#Write_Image | flash microSD card]]. Choose the newly detected device in your target drive and proceed as normal.
  
−
First download the [https://dl.radxa.com/zero/images/loader/rz-udisk-loader.bin RZ USB disk loader], select <code>rz-udisk-loader.bin</code> in RZ USB Boot Helper, and click '''Run'''.
+
Once you are done flashing, unplug and replug Radxa Zero to quit maskrom mode and boot normally.

== Install using Linux or macOS ==
  
−
You can now flash your Linux image using balenaEtcher similar to [[Zero/getting_started#Write_Image | flash microSD card]]. Except you don't have to insert a card this time. Choose the new device detected in Step 2 as your target drive and proceed as normal.

−
== Linux & macOS ==
+
−
For Linux and macOS, we use amlogic boot tool to download the bootloader and boot the Zero into the USB Disk mode. This is to expose the eMMC to host PC as a USB Disk. Then we can use dd or other tools to write images to the USB Disk(eMMC).

How to install Linux image to Radxa Zero eMMC

This guide describes how to install the raw images to Radxa Zero series eMMC. Raw image is the standard method to install Linux distro on single board computers, since they don't have standardized way to boot and initialize their hardware.

Requirement

  • Radxa Zero or Radxa Zero 2
  • A PC/laptop running Windows, Linux, or macOS
  • USB A to C cable or C to C cable, depending on your host
  • A supported Linux image

Install using Windows

If you have existing data that you want to keep, this is your last chance to do so. Please follow maskrom guide to load rz-udisk-loader.bin and make backup accordingly.

Now follow eMMC erase guide to wipe out the existing system. Your computer should detect a new storage device after the file is loaded.

You can now flash your Linux image using balenaEtcher similar to flash microSD card. Choose the newly detected device in your target drive and proceed as normal.

Once you are done flashing, unplug and replug Radxa Zero to quit maskrom mode and boot normally.

Install using Linux or macOS

If you have existing data that you want to keep, this is your last chance to do so. Please follow maskrom guide to load rz-udisk-loader.bin and make backup accordingly.

Now follow eMMC erase guide to wipe out the existing system. Your computer should detect a new storage device after the file is loaded.

Now lsusb should show the following device: 

   Bus 001 Device 049: ID 1b8e:2200 Amlogic, Inc. USB download gadget

The Zero is in USB disk mode now, your computer should popup a new USB drive. On macOS you will get a disk not readable popup. Just click Ignore:

On Linux you will get following output from sudo dmesg: 

[74292.229573] usb 1-10.2.3: new high-speed USB device number 84 using xhci_hcd
[74292.330483] usb 1-10.2.3: New USB device found, idVendor=1b8e, idProduct=c003, bcdDevice= 0.20

You can now use dd to write the raw image to the eMMC on Zero now. 

   sudo dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/new_dev bs=1M
   sync

Once you are done flashing, unplug and replug Radxa Zero to quit maskrom mode and boot normally.
