Install notes

Flash Anbernic RG552 and boot

Follow the workflow below; the official board page contains any extra quirks for the Rockchip RK3399 platform.

  1. Grab the image. Download the latest Anbernic RG552 build from the downloads page or the official board entry.
  2. Flash to storage. Use balenaEtcher, Raspberry Pi Imager, or `dd` to write the image to an SD card or SSD. Make sure to verify the checksum before booting.
  3. First boot setup. Insert the media into your Anbernic RG552, power on, and let REG Linux expand the filesystem. Pair controllers inside REG-Station once prompted.
  4. Troubleshoot with rescue tools. REG Linux ships with an immutable base and rescue partition—if something breaks, reboot into rescue or reflash without touching your ROMs.
