How to copy built image to SD

[benhylau]

From Linux:

$ cat build/sun8i-h2plus-orangepi-zero.raw > /dev/$SDCARD

From Windows (?):

Verify:

one way to check - eject it and re-insert it, see if it has a filesystem on it with "/boot" now

NOTE: We may be changing .raw to .img.

I think I was trying to be too smart with the linux command - you need root to do this, but the above command does not work with sudo.

Instead:

sudo dd if=build/sun8i-h2plus-orangepi-zero.raw of=/dev/$SDCARD

Also probably useful for documentation at this point is "how do I know what my $SDCARD is":

lsblk -d -o NAME,SIZE,LABEL

Are we switching to .img?

[hamishcoleman]

sure, why not

I use Win32DiskImager for Windows works well
