Linux shell script to prepare an SD card for use with MiSTer

About

A Linux shell script to prepare an SD card for use with MiSTer. Based on https://github.com/alanswx/SD-installer_MiSTer

Dependencies

• exfat-utils
• unrar

Usage

create-sdcard-linux.sh <mister-archive> <target-device>

Where <mister-archive> is a release archive from the MiSTer repository, and <target-device> is the name of the SD card block device.

This script will DESTROY the contents of the block device passed to it; it does not check or confirm the device name you choose. Be careful. Must be run as root.

Example:

sudo ./create-sdcard-linux.sh release_20190302.rar /dev/mmcblk0

Note: Please wait until the script completes before removing the card, as flushing the disk cache may take some time.
