Introduction[edit | edit source]
There are multiple ways to do create a bootable microSD card. The following sections describes
Using Balena Etcher and WIF image file[edit | edit source]
The process is relatively straightforward: it consists of writing the WIC file of interest generated by Yocto onto the SD card. The most common tool to do that is the well-known Balena Etcher program. The following instruction explains how to use it on a Windows host. The procedure is similar when working with a Linux host.
- Download the desired binary image to flash (
*.wicor*.wic.bz2)- Among the binaries made available in the mirror there are several
*.wic.bz2files for the available releases. In particular, there is thedesk-image-qt5-openstlinux-weston-desk-mp1.wic.bz2file. This image is the one used to program the microSD card delivered along with the evaluation kit.
- Among the binaries made available in the mirror there are several
- Connect the microSD card to the PC Host
- Open BalenaEtcher tool
- Once the tool is open:
- Select the binary to flash by clicking on "Flash from file"
- Select the microSD to flash by clicking on "Select target"
- Flash the uSD by clicking o "Flash".
Using STM32CubeProgrammer[edit | edit source]
Another way is to use the STM32CubeProgrammer tool, which has a little different approach than BalenaEtcher. STM32CubeProgrammer makes use of several files generated by Yocto.
