Installation Steps

Flashing the Image (SD Card)

Please make sure to choose the file ending with .img.zip

Note: Please pay attention to use the uefi image, instead uboot image used by other k1/m1 devices.

After downloading and extracting the image, use dd to flash the image to the microSD card.

unzip	bianbu-computer-s1-uefi-release-for-pipro-v1.3-release-20250529141832.img.zip
sudo dd if=bianbu-computer-s1-uefi-release-for-pipro-v1.2-release-20250421182705.img of=/dev/your-device bs=1M status=progress

Please replace /dev/your-device with the actual device name of your microSD card. Make sure to double-check the device name to avoid overwriting your own disk.

Flashing the Image (eMMC)

Please make sure to choose the file ending without .img

Note: Please pay attention to use the UEFI image, instead u-boot image used by other K1/M1 devices.

After downloading and extracting the image, use fastboot to flash the image to the eMMC.

unzip bianbu-computer-s1-uefi-release-for-pipro-v1.3-release-20250529141832.zip
