Software

In this section each supported OS has it's own subdirectory.
Additional directory named RescueDiskImage holds inside the rescue disk for switching between different OSes.
The partition table of Android and Linux is different and this image will help update the needed partition table.
To use this image it should be burnt into SD Card, to do so please follow:

Preparing rescue SD-Card

  • Plug your SD card to your Linux machine, run dmesg and see what device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX)

Run the following command to write the image file to the SD card

$ sudo dd if=~/Downloads/DART-DT410_sd_rescue.img of=/dev/sdX bs=128k
Change the /dev/sdX with your SC card device.
