Preparation

  1. Download system image

  2. Download the burning tool, the tutorial will use Rufus as an example. Actually, other tools can be used, such as Etcher, Win32 Disk Imager, etc.

  3. The tutorial will use FlyOS-Fast-H5.exe as an example.

  4. Extract the system image file to get the .img file.

    • Double-click or right-click open FlyOS-Fast-H5.exe, wait a few seconds, and a window will pop up (if the system prompts that it is unsafe, select "More information" -> "Run").
    • You can choose the extraction directory, then click the Extract button, and wait for the extraction to complete.
    • After extraction, a FlyOS-Fast-H5-vx.x.x.img file will be generated in the extraction directory. x.x.x is the system version number.

Burn Image

Burn to TF Card

    • The TF card used for burning needs to be larger than 4G, it is recommended to use a SanDisk 32GB C10 or higher TF card (tests found that many cheap cards cannot start after being burned).
    • The TF card used for burning needs to use an SD card reader, insert the burning card into the reader, then insert the reader into the computer.
  1. Open Rufus, select the device. The selected device should display a capacity consistent with the capacity of the burning card inserted into the computer.
  1. Select the image file, click the Select button on the right side of the Boot selection to select the .img file after extraction.
  2. After selecting the image file, the Boot selection will become the name of the image file.
  1. Click the Start button, if a pop-up window appears prompting to clear disk data, click OK to continue.
  1. After burning is complete, the computer will emit a prompt sound, and the progress bar will show as Ready.
  1. Do not remove the burned card immediately after burning.
  2. Open File Explorer, check whether there is a U-drive or removable disk named FlyOS-Conf.
  1. Open FlyOS-Conf, if there are two files as shown in the figure below, it indicates successful burning.
  1. The config.txt is the system configuration file, please refer to the next page content to modify the configuration file.

Configure WiFi

  1. Use vscode or other professional text editors to open config.txt (Try not to use the built-in Notepad of Windows to edit the configuration file)
  1. Fill in your WiFi name in the WIFI_SSID="" option within the "", and fill in your WiFi password in the WIFI_PASS=""" option within the "". Save and exit, eject the U-drive or removable disk named FlyOS-Conf.

warning
  • FLY host requires the use of M2WE or 2.4G WiFi module, otherwise WiFi cannot be used.
  • Please note that the host does not support WIFI with Chinese names, and does not support 2.4G and 5G dual-band integration WIFI.
