How to flash an ISO on your robot#

Flash the ISO on an USB stick#

Once you have downloaded the ISO image, to burn it to a bootable pen-drive there are two ways to do so:

  • Gnome Disk (recommended)

  • usb-creator-gtk

Note

You will need a USB stick with at least 8GB of space.

Caution

This will erase all data on the USB stick!

Gnome Disk#

Step 1#

Execute the following command in the terminal:

gnome-disks

Step 2#

Plug in the USB drive and select the correct option on the left hand column:

../_images/gnome-disks-1.png

Step 3#

Select the option shown below of the three dots on the upper right corner of the window and click on Restore Disk Image:

../_images/gnome-disks-2.png

Step 4#

Select the provided PAL ISO as Image to Restore and click on Start Restoring. Once this process has finished, you may unplug the USB from your computer.

usb-creator-gtk#

Step 1#

Due to this bug, we must change the extension of the ISO from .iso to .img by renaming the file:

../_images/usb-disk-creator-0.png

to:

../_images/usb-disk-creator-0b.png

Step 2#

Execute the following command in the terminal:

usb-creator-gtk

Step 3#

Go to the location where your ISO is saved and change the option on the bottom right corner from CD Images to Disk Images, that way your ISO will appear. Select it.

Step 4#

Select the ISO and the USB device desired and press Erase Disk if the option is available. After that, press Make Startup Disk to start burning the ISO. Once this process has finished, you may unplug the USB from your computer.
