Auto Install System

Use autoinstall to write a selected 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.

Supported image files:

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

Boot action

If autoinstall is active, OOWOW shows a countdown before install.

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

Autoinstall runs:

  • `image_write2emmc IMAGE –check –auto`

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

Config

Autoinstall config is saved in:

  • `/config/autoinstall`

Runtime log:

  • `/tmp/image_auto_install_config`
