Flash it

• Find and download the .wic.bz2 file from your build: find tmp/deploy/ -name *.wic.bz2
• Flash it to the Raspberry Pi's SD card using Etcher. In principle it can handle a wic.bz2 directly but sometimes this doesn't work great. Unzipping it first can help: bzip2 -df xxx.wic.bz2
• Resize the SD card using gParted so that the main ext3 partition is at least 2GB in size so that is has enough room to download and install all the apps you need
• Insert the SD card back in the RaspberryPi and power up the Pi. Connect the Raspberry Pi to your network with an ethernet cable, and to your TV with a HDMI cable.
• Make sure you can SSH into the Pi as this is important for later. The default user is root with no password
• You should see the RDK Resident GUI application on your TV at bootup (after following some initial setup questions)
