This tutorial describes how to flash the system image to a MicroSD card.

Download Image

Visit the Downloads page and choose the appropriate image:

• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — Recommended for most use cases
• Debian 12 — Lightweight option
• Android 13 — If Android environment is needed

Flashing Tool

We recommend balenaEtcher (cross-platform, easy to use):

Windows / macOSLinux

1. Download balenaEtcher
2. Open the app, click Flash from file, and select the image file
3. Click Select target and choose the MicroSD card
4. Click Flash! to start

# Find the SD card device name (usually /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblkX)
lsblk

# Flash (replace /dev/sdX with your actual device)
sudo dd if=myproduct-ubuntu-22.04.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
sudo sync

Warning

Make sure you select the correct target device. This operation will erase all data on the target device.

Verify Flash

After flashing, you can verify by checking the MD5:

md5sum myproduct-ubuntu-22.04.img
