4.6.2     Copying Image File to SD Card

 

You should copy the prepared image file to the prepared SD card and make the SD card with the operating system installed.

 

If you copy an image file to an SD card just like you would copy a regular file, the image of the operating system will not be copied correctly. It must be copied to the SD card in the way that the image is transferred to the SD card.

 

To do this, you should use the Image Writer tool which provides a special form of image copying, rather than the usual file copying function. These functions may be provided by the system as a basic function or may require the use of a separate utility program. Appropriate methods should be used depending on the user's work environment.

 

To do the image copy operation, you can use the command provided by the user's computer system. Otherwise, you can use a separate Image Writer utility program.

 

 

   Copying image file in MS Windows

 

In MS Windows, you can use a number of external program tools that provide Image Writer functionality.

 

The <Win32DiskImager> utility is one of such tools that allow you to easily copy images to an SD card. The program can be downloaded from the following URL:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

 

After downloading and installing the program, the following screen will appear. Perform the copying operation by specifying the image file and the device with the SD card correctly.

   Copying Image file in Linux

 

On Linux, you can work with the Image Writer utility program, or you can use commands that are built into the system.

 

In Linux, the default command is the [dd] command, which allows you to perform image copy operations. For specific instructions, please refer to the instructions for your system.

 

You can also work with the Image Writer utility program that you want.

 

 

   Copying Image file in Mac

 

On the Mac, you can work with the Image Writer utility program, or you can use commands that are built into the system.

 

The default command on the Mac is the [dd] command, which allows you to perform image copy operations. For specific instructions, please refer to the instructions for your system.
