Create a bootable microSD from tarballs

• Download the first microSD partition contents from: boot.tar.bz2 (3.4MB)
• Download the second microSD partition contents from: rootfs.tar.bz2 (182.4MB)
• Format a microSD with gparted (read more) and mount it
• Download the binaries
• Untar the binaries to the microSD with the following commands:
  $ tar -xvjpSf boot.tar.bz2 -C /media/$USER/boot
  $ sudo tar -xvjpSf rootfs.tar.bz2 -C /media/$USER/rootfs

Create a bootable microSD from disk image

• Download the zipped disk image from arietta.img.zip
• Uncompress its contents to obtain arietta.img file
• Insert a microSD and write arietta.img on it using:
  • On Windows: Win32 Disk Imager
  • On Linux: sudo dd if=arietta.img of=/dev/sdX where sdX is the microSD device (more info...)
  • On Mac: sudo dd if=arietta.img of=/dev/diskN where diskN is the microSD device (more info..)

Notes

• For Arietta G25 with 256 MB of RAM rename boot256.bin in boot.bin in the first partition mounted on /boot
• The image contains just the first two partitions (boot and rootfs) and uses just the first 1.0 GB. To add more space create a third partition to add in /etc/fstab or enlarge the rootfs partition.
