This directory provides installer images in the form of a device-specific
|
|
part (containing the partition table and the system firmware) and a
|
|
device-independent part (containing the actual installer), which can be
|
|
unpacked and concatenated together to build a complete installer image.
|
|
|
|
The device-specific part is named firmware.<board_name>.img.gz
|
|
and the device-independent part is named partition.img.gz.
|
|
|
|
In addition to providing several firmware.<board_name>.img.gz files for
|
|
a number of devices with device-specific system firmware, we also
|
|
provide a firmware.none.img.gz file (containing the partition table but
|
|
without any system firmware) to provide generic installer images for
|
|
devices for which no firmware.<board_name>.img.gz file is provided.
|
|
|
|
To create a complete image from the two parts on Linux systems, you can
|
|
use zcat as follows:
|
|
|
|
zcat firmware.<board_name>.img.gz partition.img.gz > complete_image.img
|
|
|
|
On Windows systems, you have to first decompress the two parts separately,
|
|
which can be done e.g. by using 7-Zip, and then concatenate the decompressed
|
|
parts together by running the command
|
|
|
|
copy /b firmware.<board_name>.img + partition.img complete_image.img
|
|
|
|
in a Windows CMD.exe window.
