Introduction

USB-stick 100.png Robotino 3 has a SSD that stores the operating system. A bootable USB stick is used to
  • initially install the Robotino OS to a new SSD
  • overwrite the OS on a SSD already in use.

Create a bootable USB-Stick

If you are using the blue USB-stick that shipped with Robotino you can skip most of these steps and just copy the current image to the USB-stick.

  • Download the Robotino custom image.
  • Take a USB-Stick and format it (quick format will do)
  • Use UNetbootin to install this custom image to the USB stick.
  • Download a Robotino3 image or a Robotino4 image and it's md5 file. With Firefox you need to right-click the file and choose save link.
  • Check the integrity of the image using md5. Run md5 -Check:imagefilename.fsa.md5.
  • Copy the image files (.fsa,.f01,...) into the /images/ directory of your USB-stick.
  • Attach monitor and keyboard to your Robotino 3.
  • Plug the USB stick into any of Robotino3's USB port.
  • Please do not continue without plugging in Robotino to it's power supply.
  • Power on Robotino3 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.
  • Select your USB stick from the list (not the UEFI entry).
  • Select Microcore from the list - this will start the automatic updater.
  • After booting into tinycore type restore.sh and press Enter to start the restore process.
