Note: It is preferred that SanDisk 4G SD card be used rather then Kingston. Kingston seemed to enumerate slightly smaller then SanDisk which actually inhibited us from flashing the image onto Kingston.
sudo umount /dev/sdX {note: sdb was the SD card we previously found enumerated}.
If you don’t know if it is mounted, in places/filesystems/dev on the left side of the screen you will see names with shown next to it. That means it’s mounted.
sudo dd if=masterA.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=10M
X is the sd card (like /sdb, /sdc etc.)
This will take some time, so if you have to stop this process hit <ctrl C> or close the terminal window. This will take some time but that’s all that it takes.
Use the bottom task bar of the VMware screen, to attach the USB removable drive to Linux.
