Create bootable USB stick
Before you can install Beckhoff RT Linux® on an industrial PC, you must create a bootable USB stick and upload the current image to the USB stick. Use a flash tool such as Rufus to do this. You can then start the industrial PC from the USB stick and install Beckhoff RT Linux®.
Requirements for this step:
- Download the Rufus tool from: https://rufus.ie/
- Image for the installation of Beckhoff RT Linux®:https://www.beckhoff.com/de-de/support/downloadfinder/suchergebnis/?download_group=992954948
- USB stick with at least 2 GB storage space
Proceed as follows:
- 1. Start the Rufus tool on a PC with Windows operating system.
- 2. Click Select and select the image you want to upload to the USB stick.
- 3. Under Device, select a USB stick as the target drive. If only one external drive is connected to your PC, the USB stick is selected automatically.
- 4. Click Start to upload the image to the USB stick.
- The process may take a few minutes. Do not cancel the process until the Ready message appears. You have successfully created a bootable USB stick and can install Beckhoff RT Linux® on the industrial PC in the next step.
