Install notes

Flash Radxa Dragon Q6A and boot

Follow the workflow below; the official board page contains any extra quirks for the Qualcomm QCS6490 platform.

  1. Grab the image. Download the latest Radxa Dragon Q6A 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 Radxa Dragon Q6A, 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.
