Follow the workflow below; the official board page contains any extra quirks for the Rockchip RK3399 platform.
- Grab the image. Download the latest Orange Pi 800 build from the downloads page or the official board entry.
- 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.
- First boot setup. Insert the media into your Orange Pi 800, power on, and let REG Linux expand the filesystem. Pair controllers inside REG-Station once prompted.
