Backup robotino image to USB stick

Note: A special formatted USB is required for creating the backup. This is delivered with the robotino. Alternatively you can create this USB by following the instruction here

Steps to follow:

  1. Attach monitor and keyboard to your Robotino.
  2. Note: If the USB is already having one image file(.fsa), then it will start with auto restoring. Make sure the USB has no images on it.
  3. Plug the USB stick into any of Robotino's USB port.
  4. Please do not continue without plugging in Robotino to it's power supply.
  5. Power on Robotino and hit the F7 (for Robotino Professional with Core i5), F11 (for Robotino Basic with Atom) as long as you can see the BIOS startup screen.
  6. Select your USB stick from the list (not the UEFI entry).
  7. Select Microcore from the list - this will start the automatic updater.
  8. After booting into tinycore type the code shown below.
sudo su
fsarchiver savefs /mnt/sdb1/boot/robotino3-xxx.fsa /dev/sda1 -v -s 2000
cd /mnt/sdb1/boot/
md5sum robotino3-xxx.fsa > robotino3-xxx.fsa.md5sum
  • -s 2000 splits into files of 2000Mb
