If you have Raspberry Pi 4B, you can try BuckitUp for free by installing our software.

There are 2 ways to do it, and we recommend the second more efficient way, designed for embedded systems:

1. Raspberry Imager (most standard)

  1. Insert a microSD card to your PC, keep in mind that all previous data on the microSD card will be erased.
  2. Under the “Operating system” scroll to the very end and choose “Custom installation”
  3. Select the BuckitUp firmware file on your file system (likely provided to you by the a link)
  4. Select the SD card previously inserted
  5. Confirm the installation

Use the Raspberry Pi imager (install if needed).

2. FWUP for embedded systems (most efficient)

This way formats micro SD card such that it preserves the whole internal volume of the card as a storage volume! There is a video instruction for you, and the text version follows.

You can install fwup depending on your OS by following the instructions on the project’s repo.

  1. Here is the direct link for Raspbian OS armhf .deb the package for Raspbian OS (you can alway use this one given you already own a Raspberry Pi)

    1. Install the downloaded package with the right click - install.

  2. For the BuckitUp firmware installation:

    1. Download the BuckitUp firmware file (provided to you by a link)

    2. Insert micro SD card

    3. Copy the BuckitUp firmware file name on your system.

    4. Open command line, and navigate to the same folder with the firmware, in most cases:

      *cd Downloads*

    5. Run the fwup command with the firmware file name next to it (like this one) and press ↵**:**

      fwup platform.2024-04-08_ef99bc7___2024-04-16_79e8ce2.fw

    6. Confirm writing over the SD card (Y/N) ↵

      Use 31.91 GB memory card found at /dev/rdisk4? [y/N] y

    7. Remove micro SD card

      100% [====================================] 77.47 MB in / 87.88 MB out       
Success!

    Now you can insert this micro SD card into your Raspberry Pi computer now, and it will immediately turn you Raspberry Pi into a BuckitUp device at its full capacity.
