Quelltext der Seite Write an Image to a SDCARD using Windows

=Introduction=

Many releases for the i.MX platform which can be obtained from our [https://support.becom-group.com/releases/imx release server] are bootable SD-Card images.
 
This guide describes the process of writing these images to a SD-Card on a Windows PC (under Linux you would use the ''dd'' command).

=Preparations=

* Download the SD-Card image from our server.
* The downloaded file is usually in the bzip2 file format and needs to be uncompressed. [https://www.7-zip.org/ 7Zip] can be used if no suitable application is installed on your computer
* You should end up with a much bigger *.bin file afterwards.
* Make sure that your target SD-Card is big enough to contain this file
* Download and unzip [https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer Image Writer for Windows] (0.6 is used here)

=Create SD-Card=
* Insert the SD-Card into your computer and check which drive letter it got assigned
* Open Win32DiskImager.exe
** Click the ''FileOpen'' Icon and select the unzipped .bin file
** Select the letter of your SD-Card in the device drop-down menu
** '''Double check if you have chosen the right drive!''' You may damage your PC or data otherwise.

* Press write to start writing the image to the card. (This may take a couple of minutes)
* After the Program is finished, you can eject your SD-Card.
* Insert it into your target device, which should be able to boot from it when selecting the "Boot From SD-Card" boot mode
