Important : Use an USB key of 16 GB maximum (16 GB recommended). PC 104 doesn't support 32 GB and more.

  1. Format the USB key to be FAT.
  2. Download and unzip the new live image on the USB key formated (live images).
  3. Use the adapted script to create a boot :

3.1. for linux open a terminal in the USB key.
3.2. Log as root : su
3.3. bash utils/linux/makeboot.sh (put here as parameter the partition of the USB key)

You can see the name of the partition by opening "Disks" on linux. Then clic on the USB key, and take Device. For example the final command can be :
bash utils/linux/makeboot.sh /dev/sdc1

The script will ask you if you want to install MBR and others stuff. You can say Yes to all.

  1. Your USB key is ready, insert it in the iCub head
