How to Install the OS to eMMC
We know that the chip used by RockpiX is of x86 architecture, so we can not only run linux on RockpiX, but also run windows operating system.You know, the installation system requires a boot disk, which can be a U disk or a mobile hard disk. The raw material for making this boot disk is the iso file, we need to use the iso file to make a storage device such as a USB disk or a mobile hard disk into a boot disk. Then insert the boot disk into the usb port of RockpiX. After power on, the BIOS on RockpiX will recognize the boot disk. We only need to select the corresponding boot item in the BIOS to enter the boot disk to install the system.
Below I will separately explain how to use iso files to make boot disks in macOS, linux and windows systems.
