device init [device]

Use this command to download the OS image of a certain application and write it to an SD Card.

Note that this command requires admin privileges.

If device is omitted, you will be prompted to select a device interactively.

Notice this command asks for confirmation interactively. You can avoid this by passing the --yes boolean option.

You can quiet the progress bar by passing the --quiet boolean option.

You may have to unmount the device before attempting this operation.

You need to configure the network type and other settings:

Ethernet: You can setup the device OS to use ethernet by setting the --network option to "ethernet".

Wifi: You can setup the device OS to use wifi by setting the --network option to "wifi". If you set "network" to "wifi", you will need to specify the --ssid and --key option as well.

You can omit network related options to be asked about them interactively.

Examples:

$ resin device init --application 91
$ resin device init --application 91 --network ethernet
$ resin device init /dev/disk2 --application 91 --network wifi --ssid MyNetwork --key secret
