Project Name

Project Description

Trying to build something similar to Fedora's USB installer, but instead this time we are creating a SD card installation tool, with GUI for both LINUX and Windows. Basically trying to create a user friendly GUI environment that allows the user to install a bootable ISO to their SD card.

Project Details

Project Plan

Tracking mechanism (bugzilla, trac, github, ...):

Key contacts:

Jon Chiappetta (fossjon in #seneca).


Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

  • 0.1 - Learn and understand what needs to be done, how the project should be implemented. Learn python as well as read through the source code of Fedora Live-USB installer. I plan on also reading through the sources of the UNETbootin opensource project to see how they create a bootable usb from a ISO
  • 0.2 - Create a working windows shell/linux script that will write a ISO on to a bootable SD card.
  • 0.3 - Finalizing, and debugging the project.
