= Linux =
== Prerequisites ==
* PC with Linux 16.04 (other versions and distributions may require some additional operations) and SD card reader (optionally you may need micro-SD to full-size SD card adapter for your computer SD reader)
* Micro-SD card
* Extracted system image (*.img file)

== Writing image to SD card ==
Connect your SD card to the PC, while it is connected enter:

<pre>sudo parted -l
Model: ATA SAMSUNG HM500JJ (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 480GB 480GB primary ext4 boot
2 480GB 500GB 20.1GB extended
5 480GB 500GB 20.1GB logical linux-swap(v1)

Model: Generic- Multi-Card (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 7745MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 8389kB 4048MB 4039MB primary ext4</pre>

You can see that SD card is identified as ''/dev/sdc'', now you can write the image to your SD card. IMPORTANT! Double check if you properly identified you SD card in Linux file system, if you write the image to other device your data will be lost! Also double check ''dd'' command parameters!

NOTE! Replace /dev/sdX with your device name if following command.

<pre>sudo dd if=system_image.img of=/dev/sdX bs=64k</pre>

When ''dd'' command finishes then your SD card is ready, insert it into VisionSOM-6ULL socket and power the system.

= Windows =

== Prerequisites ==
* PC with Windows 7 or newer and SD card reader (optionally you may need micro-SD to full-size SD card adapter for your computer SD reader)
* Micro-SD card
* Win32 Disk Imager installer - available for download [https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ here]
* Extracted system image (*.img file)

== Writing image to SD card ==
Install Win32 Disk Imager (accept all default settings) and insert your SD card to computer card reader. You need to know which drive represents your SD card, you can for example open Files Explorer (Win+E) and check which drive shows up when you insert your card.

IMPORTANT! Double check which drive is your card, if you select wrong drive letter in Win32 Disk Imager then you will erase data on one of your computer drives!

Now you can start Win32 Disk Imager and:

# Select unpacked image file
# In ''Hash'' section select ''SHA256'' algorithm and click ''Generate''
# Compare generated hash with the hash of your image file (if available), if hashes are identical then continue, if not - try to download the archive once again
# Select your card in ''Device'' section
# Click ''Write'' and wait until Win32 Disk Imager finishes

Your card is ready, insert it into VisionSOM-6ULL micro-SD socket and power the system.
