Abstract
We may want to install lubuntu desktop/server to SD card, here is a guide for you. We take Desktop as a example in this guide. If you are interested in Server, just replace the images.
Mac / Linux
Before you start
Any Linux environment, we want fdisk, dd, tar, wget commands, this will erase any current data on the SD card. You need an SD card at least 4GB in size. the speed of SD card is important, class10 is recommended.
Download the rootfs image
wget http://www.haoyuelectronics.com/service/RK3066/rootfs/marsboard-picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.2-lubuntu-desktop-rfs.img.tar.gz
Extract the image
tar -zxvf marsboard-picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.2-lubuntu-desktop-rfs.img.tar.gz
Copy image to SD card
Insert the SD card, find which device the SD card is with fdisk: sudo fdisk -l. we assume card=/dev/sdd here. Copy the image to the SD card with dd, making sure to use the SD device
dd if=marsboard-picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.2-lubuntu-desktop-rfs.img of=/dev/sdd
Make sure the write has finished.
sudo sync
Put the SD card into your MarsBoard.
