Host Machine Beginner Guide​

Host Machine Beginner Guide

Preparation Before System Flashing​

  • Card Reader
  • One TF card with a capacity of at least 16GB or no more than 128GB, and the transmission speed of the TF card must be Class10 or higher
  • Download the corresponding system image
  • Download the required flashing tool

System Flashing​

info

Flashing to TF card or flashing to M2WE via TF card requires using only one of them.

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 SD cards for flashing M2WE, as flashing through USB may fail due to driver compatibility issues. We recommend using Memory Card Flashing to M2WE.
  • Please note that the downloaded system image should match; otherwise, it cannot start.

System Image Writing to TF Card

Preparation​

  • First, install the software Win32DiskImager
  • Extract the system; the file name after extraction should end with .img
  • Insert the TF card into a card reader and plug the card reader into a USB port on your computer
  • If the TF card has data, please back it up. After writing the system, it is not recommended to remove the system card unless you need to write it to an M2WE and then can remove the TF card

Formatting the Memory Card​

  • Use the TFFormatter.exe software to format the TF card
  • Select the disk you want to format
  • Alternatively, use the built-in disk management in Windows to delete the partition. After deleting the partition, create a new partition.

Writing to the TF Card​

Test

  • Red selects the file to be burned
  • Orange selects the TF card to be burned
  • Blue will burn the system into the TF card
  • Confirm burning and wait for the burning to complete
  • Burning completed

System Configuration​

FLYOS_Env Usage

Tip
  • Starting from system version 3.3.4, you can directly use FLY-TOOLS for system configuration without entering the boot to modify configurations.
  • Please note that older systems do not support direct configuration using FLY-TOOLS.
  • FLY_TOOLS Usage Guide

WIFI Configuration Instructions​

Notice
  • The WIFI configuration method is complex and requires connecting to an upper-level machine via a serial port and then proceeding with the WIFI connection.

Installing TF Card or M2WE onto Gemini​

  • After flashing the system to the TF card, you need to connect the TF card to this location on Gemini, otherwise the system will not start.
