ODROID C1 USER MANUAL
This will result in an uncompressed image file called ubuntu-
14.04.3lts-lubuntu-odroid-c1-20151020.img. Attach the USB SD card
reader / writer with the boot media into an appropriate USB port. After
a few moments, check for an entry that corresponds to the SD card or
eMMC module using the following command (your results may differ):
$ df -h
Filesystem
Size Used Avail
Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk1p2 58G 5.8G 49G
11% /
...
/dev/sdb1
30G 224K 30G
1% /media/odroid/BLANK
This tells us that the write destination path to the media is /dev/
sdb. Given this information, we can carefully construct the image copy
command using appropriate input and output paths:
$ cd ~/linux-img
$ sudo dd \
if=./ubuntu-14.04.3lts-lubuntu-odroid-c1-20151020.img \
of=/dev/sdb \
bs=1M conv=fsync
$ sync
The dd command is very powerful, so use it with a lot of care.
If incorrect parameters (especially the of parameter) are used here,
you could potentially ruin the OS installation of the computer. The dd
command is hence often referred to as the disk destroyer command.
This step could take a while. So, wait for it to complete before
proceeding. Once completed, remove the USB SD card reader / writer
from the USB port of the computer. Remove the boot media and place
it on the non-conductive surface.
The above steps are to flash the Linux image. To flash an An-
droid image, simply download a different compressed file, and all sub-
sequent steps would be that same as those listed above.
You would need to to launch the browser once again and nav-
igate to
.
Look for the latest Android image and
click the corresponding Self-installation image link. In the exam-
ple case here, we would be downloading the image called selfin-
stall-odroidc-eng-s805_4.4.2_dev_master-195-v1.2.img.xz.
If you wish to use the wget command instead, you can follow
the steps listed earlier but using the appropriate Android URL. Once
the compressed file has been downloaded, uncompress it and flash it,
using the steps listed earlier in this section.
