🍞 BredOS Installation Guide

📚 Table of contents

🔽 Downloading BredOS

Download the latest BredOS image for your device from the 🌐 official website.

💽 Creating the Installation Media (microSD)

  1. Insert your microSD card into your computer.
  2. Use a tool like balenaEtcher, dd, or Raspberry Pi Imager to write the BredOS image to the microSD card.

🚀 Booting from the Installation Media (microSD)

  1. Insert the microSD card into your ARM-based single board computer.
  2. Connect the necessary peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor) and power on the device.
  3. The device should boot from the microSD card and load the BredOS installer.

💾 Installing BredOS to eMMC (RockChip)

If you'd like to install BredOS to eMMC storage instead of using a microSD card, follow these steps:

📝 Before we begin, make sure you have the following files downloaded:

📂 Unzip all files including the BredOS image which by default comes in an .img.xz file and we have to unzip it to convert it into an .img file.

  • The first thing to do is installing the Rockchip Driver we have downloaded. For this, open the DriverAssitant_v5.0 folder and execute the file DriverInstall.exe.

  • Click on 🟢 Install Driver:

  • Open the folder that contains the flashing tool: RKDevTool_Release_v2.96 folder (check the version you have downloaded for the name) and execute the tool RKDevTool.exe.

  • In the flashing tool set the following configuration and click on RUN:

    • Select the SPI loader file
    • Select the BredOS image
    • Check Write by Address
    • Click on RUN and wait until the process finishes

for Linux users, you can use the rkdeveloptool to flash the image to the eMMC. Commands are as follows:

sudo rkdeveloptool db ~/Downloads/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.09.111.bin
sudo rkdeveloptool wl 0 ~/Downloads/BredOS.img

💻 Follow BredOS Installer

  1. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
  2. Select your preferred language, keyboard layout, and time zone.
  3. Set up a user account and password.
  4. Complete the installation and reboot the device.

🛠️ Initial Configuration

After running BredOS installer you may need to complete some initial setup tasks:

  • 🌐 Configure network settings
  • 🔄 Update the system using the package manager
  • 🛠️ Install additional software packages as needed
