Download a pre-built snapshot image from https://images.solid-run.com/LX2k/lx2160a_build

Those images are built with the suffix of the commit ID of the https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build  project that you can clone and build by yourself.

Note

Please note

The prebuilt images are configured for SO-DIMM DDR4 with speed of 3200, 2900, 2600 and 2400 Mtps (with or without ECC support),. Images that have the prefix lx2160a_xspi are intended to be flashed into SPI and recommended for later use after being booted from micro SD

You can build your own image using the script in here – https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build

Plug a micro SD into your Linux PC, the following assumes that the micro SD is added as /dev/sdX and all it’s partitions are unmounted.
