Preparations Before System Flashing​

  • Card Reader

  • Download the corresponding System Image

System Flashing​

info

TF card flashing and flashing to M2WE via TF card only requires using one of these methods.

info
  • If the machine has M2WE and memory card installed, the system will boot from the memory card by default
  • It is recommended to use SD card for flashing M2WE, as flashing via USB may fail due to driver compatibility issues; it is recommended to directly use Memory Card Flashing to M2WE
  • Please note that the downloaded system image should match; otherwise, it will not 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.
