1. Get The Parts

  • 4GB SD card or larger - get a high-quality one from a brand like Kingston
  • One GT Max adjustable-length USB cable
  • Ethernet cable
  • 2.5A 5V switching power adaptor
  • Solderless breadboard
  • Only if you have the Beagle Board original: External Ethernet/USB hub such as the GWC Technology HE2440

2. Burn Image to the SD Card

Be very careful when carrying out this procedure! If you choose the wrong block device, you could easily erase everything on it!

  • Connect the blank (micro) SDHC card to your Mac by plugging it in directly to a camera SD card reader or use a USB micro SDHC reader/writer.
  • Open up the Terminal program, and find out which block device the (micro) SDHC card is connected to by running the df command. For instance, you might see it show up as something like /dev/disk3s1, meaning that the block device for the entire SDHC micro card is /dev/disk3. From now on, we will refer to that as diskXX.
  • Unmount the block device by executing

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskXX

  • Write the image to the (micro) SDHC block device using the command

dd if=xM_RevC_Maverick.dd of=/dev/diskXX bs=8225280

which will take some time to finish.

If you have any difficulties: Try again, and or try changing the bs value to 10M or something else. This changes the block size of each write. Using a high-quality (micro) SDHC card can save you a lot of trouble later!

3. Put Them All Together
