3.2 Using dd command (Linux)

To write an image using dd command:

1. Insert a microSD card to your Tinker Board (or Tinker Board S),

connect your Tinker Board S to a PC via a micro USB cable (Tinker Board S only).

Please refer to your Tinker Board product manual for the location of the microSD slot.

2. Run the following command:

dd bs=4M if=/path/to/tinkeros.img of=/dev/sdx

Replace /dev/sdx with your drive, e.g. /dev/sdc.

Do not append a partition number to your drive name, for example /dev/sdc1.

Use the lsblk command to nd the drive name of your device. Make sure that no partition of the

device is mounted.

3. Only remove the microSD card or disconnect the Tinker Board S from the PC once

the command sync is completed to ensure the data was written completely.
