Installation steps

Extract and flash image

Use tar and unzip to extrace OS image and firmware.

Use dd to write these images.

Unzip sophgo-bootloader-multi-sg2042-dev.zip, write firmware_single_sg2042-dev.img to microSD card.

Erase all partitions on the NVMe SSD, recreate a GPT partition table, create a new partition and write the ext4 system image to this partition.

/dev/sdX, /dev/sdY are microSD card and the NVMe SSD.

unzip sophgo-bootloader-single-sg2042-dev.zip
sudo wipefs -af /dev/sdX
sudo dd if=firmware_single_sg2042-dev.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M status=progress
sudo wipefs -af /dev/sdY
sudo fdisk /dev/sdY
# Enter g, n, and Enter *3, then enter w to write the changes to disk
tar xvf deepin-23-beige-preview-riscv64-sg2042-20240613-124856.tar.xz
# Note the partition number (sdY1) instead of the entire disk (sdY)
sudo dd if=./deepin-sg2042-riscv64-stable-desktop-installer.root.ext4 of=/dev/sdY1 bs=4M status=progress
echo ", +" | sudo sfdisk -N 1 /dev/sdX
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdX1
