Introduction

Robotino 3 has a SSD that stores the operating system. A bootable USB stick is used to

  • initialy install the Robotino OS to a new SSD
  • overwrite the OS on a SSD already in use.

Create a bootable USB-Stick

  • Download the Robotino3 custom image.
  • Take a USB-Stick an format it (quick format will do)
  • Use Core2USB to install this custom image to the USB stick.
  • Download the latest image.
  • Copy the image into the boot directory of your USB-stick.

Tinycore

The Tinycore distribution is used to create a bootlable USB stick for Robotino. We provide an ISO file which can be written to a USB stick using [Core2USB].

Starting with the core image the following packages had been installed:

  • bash
  • gawk
  • grub2 to write the grub2 bootloader to the SSD
  • iana-etc
  • inetutils-servers to run a telnet server at 192.168.1.244/255.255.255.0
  • liblzma
  • ncurses-common
  • ncurses
  • sfdisk
  • xz
  • fsarchiver

FSArchiver

fsarchiver is used to create an image of the inital Robotino OS. Images can be found here. Copy one or more images to your USB Stick into the boot directory.

Boot from USB stick

Attach monitor and keyboard to your Robotino 3. Plug in the USB stick in any USB port. Power on Robotino 3 and hit the F7 as long as you can see the BIOS startup screen. Select your USB stick from the list (not the UEFI entry). After booting into tinycore the restore script is executed automatically.
