=== Flashing system to SD card === | |||
1. Flash the image'''out/target/product/rpib2/system.img''' to '''system (Partition 2)''' with '''dd''' command | |||
dd if=system.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m | |||
2. Be sure of check that everything is copied successfully on the partition. For this port we create a ''userdebug'' build, so, everything is inside system image. | |||
