Installing ITEAD OS under linux system

Let's take Ubuntu as an example.

Use shortcut keys Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal

Insert Micro-SD card into the system and confirm device name of Micro-SD via entering command fdisk

 sudo fdisk -l

As shown in the following figure, in this case, Ubuntu system loads Micro-SD card as /dev/sdc

And Micro-SD card file system can be unloaded via command umount

sudo umount /dev/sdc1 
sudo umount /dev/sdc2

In the folder where img file locates, write mirror image file to SD card via command dd

 dd ms=1M if=itead-plus-beat-0814-final.img of=/dev/sdc

After the card is successfully written, the system will prompt information such as time spent on and speed of writing the card.
