SD-card image
You will discover how to flash, configure, and maintain an atfs SD-card device.
This page only applies when you deploy to an SD-card device.
- Flash a card with balena Etcher —
write the
.imgfile to a card. - Configure the card, either before or after flashing:
- Use the setup tool — fill in settings in the browser, before you flash.
- DIY editing — edit settings by hand, on the flashed card.
- Reflash to upgrade — move an existing device to a newer image.
- Move to new hardware — carry an instance’s identity onto a different board.
- Why credentials survive a reflash — how a reflash keeps your settings and identity safe.
