Installation

Choose and install an operating system on your Carbon. To appropriately follow this installation guide you will need to:

  • Download necessary files
  • Choose host machine
  • Follow flashing instructions

Methods of Installation

In most cases, you will be presented with two options when installing your new operating system onto your Carbon:

  • Flashing over micro-USB (OTG port)
  • Flashing over UART (UART port)

Each method has it’s own benifits, and requires different levels of experience

Flashing over USB-UART Method

Flashing over USB-UART is usually easier as only a single USB port can be used for both flashing and console access.

This method requires the following hardware:

  • Carbon
  • Host Linux machine
  • USB to microUSB cable
  • stm32flash tool
