Step2: Prepare your TF card for the Orange Pi 2
In order to enjoy your Orange Pi 2, you will need to install an Operating
System (OS) onto a TF card. Instructions below will teach you how to write
an OS image to your TF card under Windows and Linux.
How to write an OS image (except Android OS image) to your TF card?
Windows:
1. Insert your TF card into your computer. The size of TF card should be
larger than the OS image size, generally 4GB or greater.
2. Format the TF card.
i. Download a TF card format tool such as TF Formatter from
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/.
ii. Unzip the download file and run the setup.exe to install the tool on
your machine.
iii. In the "Options" menu, set "FORMAT TYPE" option to "QUICK",
"FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON".

iv. Check the TF card you inserted matches the one selected by
the tool.
v. Click the “Format” button.
3. Download the OS image from the Downloads webpage.
i. Website:http://www.orangepi.org/downloaded/download.html
4. Unzip the download file to get the OS image (exclude android os
image, android os image need other burn mode.).
i. Right click on the file and choose “Extract all”.
5. Write the image file to the TF card.
i. Download a tool that can wirte image to TF card, such as Win32
Diskimager from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/Archive/
ii. Open the unzipped image file.
iii. Click “Write” button. Wait patiently to successfully complete

writing.
Linux:
1. Insert your TF card into your computer. The size of TF should be
larger than the OS image size, generally 4GB or greater.
2. Format the TF card.
i. Run
fdisk –l /dev/sdx
command to check the TF card node.
ii. Run
umount /dev/sdxx
to unmount all the partitions of the TF card.
iii. Run
sudo fdisk /dev/sdx
command to configure TF card. Use
o
command to delete all partition of TF card and use
n
command to
add one new partition. Use
w
command to save change.
iv. Run
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1
command to format the new created
partition of TF card as FAT32.
(x should be replaced according to your TF card node)
You can also jump this step under Linux, because write image command
dd
under Linux will format the TF card automatically.
3. Download the OS image from the Downloads webpage.
i. Website:http://www.orangepi.org/downloaded/download.html
4. Unzip the download file to get the OS image (exclude android os image,
android os image need other burn mode).
i. Run
unzip [downloaded filename]
command.
5. Write the image file to the TF card.
i. Run
fdisk –l /dev/sdx
command to check the TF card node.
ii. Verify if the hash key of the zip file is the same as shown on the downloads
page (optional).
sha1sum [path]/[imagename]
This will print out a long hex number which should match the "SHA-1" line
for the TF image you have downloaded
iii. Run umount /dev/sdxx to unmount all the partition of the the TF card
iv. Run sudo dd bs=4M if=[path]/[imagename] of=/dev/sdxcommand to write image
file to TF card. Wait patiently to successfully complete writing. Please note that block
size set to 4M will work most of the time, if not, please try 1M, although 1M will take
considerably longer.You can use sudo pkill –USR1 –n –x dd command to check
progress
