Preparations Before System Writing

  • Card reader

  • Download the corresponding system image
  • Download the required writing tool

System Writing

info

TF card writing and writing to M2WE via TF card only require using one of the writing methods.

info
  • If the machine is installed with M2WE and memory card, the system will boot from the memory card by default.
  • It is recommended to use TF card to write the system for M2WE. Using USB to burn into M2W may fail due to driver compatibility issues. It is recommended to directly use Memory Card Burning to M2WE.
  • Please pay attention to whether the downloaded system image corresponds. If it does not correspond, the system cannot start.

Flashing the System to TF Card

Preparation

  • First install the software SDFormatter and Rufus Formatting Tool
  • Extract the system, after extraction the file suffix is .img
  • It is not recommended to use balenaetcher and Raspberry Pi for system flashing
  • Insert the TF card into the card reader, and plug the card reader into the computer's USB port
  • If the TF card has data, back it up. After flashing the system, the system card is not recommended to be removed unless you need to flash to M2WE

Formatting the Memory Card

  • Use the SDFormatter.exe software to format the TF card
  • Select the disk you want to format
  • Or use the built-in disk management in WIN to delete partitions, after deleting the partition, create a new partition.

Flashing to TF Card

Flashing the System

  1. Open Rufus, select the device, and ensure that the displayed capacity of the selected device matches the capacity of the flashing card inserted into the computer.

  2. Select the boot type. By default, select image file.

  3. Choose the image file. Click the select button to the right of the boot type selection, and select the .img file after decompression.

  4. After selecting the image file, the boot type selection will change to the filename of the image file.

  5. Click the start button. If a pop-up window appears prompting to clear disk data, click OK.

  6. After flashing is complete, the computer will emit a提示 sound, and the progress bar will display as Ready.

  7. Do not rush to remove the flashing card after completion.

  8. Open File Explorer and check if there is a U-drive or removable disk named FlyOS-Conf.

  9. Open FlyOS-Conf. If the two files shown in the image below exist, it indicates that the flashing was successful.

  • The red arrow points to the WiFi antenna interface
  • The WiFi antenna port is ipex1
  • Please install the antenna on M2WE, otherwise the signal may be poor and unable to connect to the router
tip
