====== Image ======

For having fun with your Flight Computer, you have to put the right image on the SD-Card.

There are several ways for getting the necessary software for a working Flight Computer depending on what you want:

==== Simple: Ready-to-use Image ====

The easiest way to get a working software on your Flight Computer is to download a prebuild image for an SD-Card.
The most recent image can be downloaded here:

[[http://ftp.openvario.org/images/OpenVario-linux-ov-image-glibc-ipk-current-openvario-7lvds.rootfs.img.gz|7" Display Flightcomputer]]

[[http://ftp.openvario.org/images/OpenVario-linux-ov-image-glibc-ipk-current-openvario-43rgb.rootfs.img.gz|4,3" Display Flightcomputer]]

A detailed guideline for writing the image file to a SD-Card will be [[projects:series_00:software:write_image_to_sd|here]]


==== Advanced: Build your own Image ====

To have a lot more control regarding the content of the image, like special maps, weather data or airspaces, you can setup you own build machine and build a customized image by yourself.
Before you are going to begin with such a step, you should check if you meet the following requirements:

  - Linux System (e.g. Ubuntu) as build machine
  - Some knowledge about bitbake and OpenEmbedded
  - Some knowledge about CrossCompiling software for Emebbed Systems
  - A lot of time ;-)

If you meet all the requirements you can get detailed instructions [[here]] 

==== Expert: Modify source code by your own ====
