SECO provides an SD card image file that can be used to prepare the boot device in just one step. You can download the binary for your board from the following table:

Depending on whether your operating system is Linux or Windows the procedure is described below.

Linux

Insert the sd inside your host pc and find the device name the operating system assigned to it. In this guide we suppose the path of the device is /dev/sdX. Replace everywhere sdX with your device name.

Extract the sdcard image with the command

bzip2 -d <image-file-name>.sdcard.bz2

then unmount the device and write the image:

dd if=<image-file-name>.sdcard of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

The drive is now ready.

Windows

Use you preferred software to extract the downloaded image. We suggest to install 7zip or win-rar if you need one.

Then you can download Rufus, a tool to create bootable device, that will guide you with the creation of the image.

Now you are ready to insert the sd card inside the carrier slot and power it on, as explained here in the “How can I power on my module?” section.
