Linux flashing process

Once you have removed the key from the head of your robot, you are going to flash the opennao image on it.

Warning:

This script will remove all the data from your robot, please backup your data before running the script.

  1. Insert your USB key in your computer.
  2. Run the "flash-usbstick" script as a root user, passing the opennao image as an argument.
  3. At some point, the script asks you to unmount your usb key.
  4. Follow the instructions given in the screenshot below and the flashing process will start.

    > It should last 5 to 10 minutes.

    Using flash-usbstick.sh

Note:

Two partitions are created, the first partition is the system partition, this is mostly a read-only partition. The second partition is mount as /home on the robot. You should put your data in /home/nao on your robot. This script will erase ALL the keys before flashing.

Warning:

There is some level of protection: the script will only write to a key detected as removable, small enough, of name "Kingmax". You can bypass this protection by using the -f (force) and -d (device) options, but at your own risk!
