Installation Steps

Download and decompress image

zstd -d openEuler-25.03-riscv64-lpi4a-base-boot.ext4.zst
zstd -d openEuler-25.03-riscv64-lpi4a-base-root.ext4.zst

Flash to onboard eMMC via fastboot

By default the USB VID/PID of LPi4A are’t in the udev rules, you might need to use sudo while using fastboot.

Hold the BOOT button, then connect the USB-C cable (to your PC on the other side) to enter USB burning mode.

In Windows using device manager, you’ll see a device named USB download gadget.

In Linux using lsusb you’ll see a device like: ID 2345:7654 T-HEAD USB download gadget.

Use the following commands to flash the image.

sudo fastboot devices
sudo fastboot flash ram u-boot-with-spl-lpi4a.bin
sudo fastboot reboot
# Wait a few seconds until the board reboots and reconnects to your PC

sudo fastboot flash uboot u-boot-with-spl-lpi4a.bin
sudo fastboot flash boot openEuler-25.03-riscv64-lpi4a-base-boot.ext4
sudo fastboot flash root openEuler-25.03-riscv64-lpi4a-base-root.ext4
