Using a Lamassu 'Flasher' image on supported machine platforms:

  1. Burn the 'flasher' image (*.img.xz) to a 32GB or higher USB drive using balenaEtcher.
  2. Insert USB flash drive into free USB port, preferably a blue USB 3.0 port.
  3. Also connect a USB keyboard.
  4. Start machine, while repeatedly pressing F10 to access the BIOS.
  5. In the BIOS, drag the 'UEFI: USB' option to highest on the boot order drive list.
  6. Press the option to 'Save changes and exit' from the BIOS (typically F10).
  7. When the machine boots up to a terminal and prompts for a username, type root and press enter.
  8. Password is password (blank when typing). Press enter.
  9. Then run the following command, pressing enter: bash flash.sh
  10. Process may take ~15 minutes. When successful, it will mention 'records in / records out' without an error message, and return to the command prompt.
  11. You can then run: shutdown now
  12. Once it's powered off, remove the USB drive and keyboard.
  13. Boot machine again. Machine will boot into the Xubuntu-based Lamassu disk image.
