Auto Install System

Use autoinstall to write a selected system image automatically after OOWOW boot.

  • Installation rewrites target storage.
  • Backup important files first.
  • Do not power off during installation.

SD card installation

Copy image to SD card, insert SD card and boot OOWOW.

Open config:

  • Advanced → Image autoinstall config

Configure image:

  • Select Image - choose image from mounted storage.
  • Manual Edit - enter image filename manually.
  • Deactivate - disable autoinstall.
  • Continue - keep current state and return to OOWOW.

Supported image files:

  • .img.gz
  • .img.xz
  • .img.zst
  • .img.zstd
  • .sfs
  • .kresq

Boot action

If autoinstall is active, OOWOW shows countdown before installation.

  • CANCEL - boot OOWOW without installation.
  • CONFIGURE - open autoinstall config.
  • Wait countdown - start installation automatically.

  • image_write2emmc IMAGE --check --auto

On success, OOWOW reboots and ejects/removes install media if possible.
