Cautions

  • Always hold bare boards by the edges and make sure to wear an anti-static wrist strap.
  • Touching components on the front and back of the boards can result in an ESD discharge that may cause damage to the electronics.
  • Please power off before operate Pin headers, FPC and board-to-board connectors.
  • Avoid placing bare boards on materials such as carpets, plastics or other surfaces prone to electrostatic build-up.

Download the image

Download the image from FTP server with user 'ftp' (password: lindeni).
For China mainland users, you can also download the images from Baidu Netdisk. The key code is "vcss".

Note that there are two type images here. Make sure you download the right one.

  • For-SDCard: the image can be written to the SD card
  • For-eMMC: the image can be written to the eMMC (you should purchase a eMMC module firstly)

Writing an image to the SD card

Writing the image to MicroSD Card by Etcher is recommended.

  • Using a computer with an MicroSD Card reader.
  • Visit etcher.io and download and install the Etcher SD card image utility.
  • Run Etcher and select the image you downloaded.
  • Select the SD card drive. Note that the software may have already selected the right drive.
  • Finally, click Flash to transfer the image to the MicroSD Card. You'll see a progress bar that tells you how much is left to do. Once complete, the utility will automatically eject/unmount the SD card so it's safe to remove it from the computer.
