| | 2 | Apple provides a copy of dd with recent releases of OS X (at least since 10.7, probably earlier). |

| | 4 | '''Finding the SD card descriptor:'''[[BR]] |
| | 5 | 1. Insert the SD card |
| | 6 | 1. In a terminal run {{{diskutil list}}} to find device descriptor for SD card. Look for the SD card in the list of disks. On a MBP, the shows: |
| | 7 | {{{ |
| | 8 | #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER |
| | 9 | 0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0 |
| | 10 | 1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 |
| | 11 | 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 499.2 GB disk0s2 |
| | 12 | 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 |
| | 13 | /dev/disk1 |
| | 14 | #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER |
| | 15 | 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 GB disk1 |
| | 16 | 1: DOS_FAT_32 WARP SD 32.0 MB disk1s1 |
| | 17 | }}} |
| | 18 | 2. In this example, the SD card device descriptor is /dev/disk1. The actual descriptor will differ on other machines with different disk configurations. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | '''Copying the .bin file:'''[[BR]] |
| | 21 | 1. Unmount ('''not''' eject) the drive using this command: |
| | 22 | {{{ |
| | 23 | diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX |
| | 24 | }}} |
| | 25 | 1. Run this command, replacing the last three arguments with the correct values: |
| | 26 | {{{ |
| | 27 | dd bs=512 seek=<N> if=<yourFile.bin> of=</dev/diskX> |
| | 28 | }}} |
| | 29 | 1. ''<N>'': depends on the target slot number; see the list above |
| | 30 | 1. ''<yourFile.bin>'': the binary FPGA configuration file |
| | 31 | 1. ''</dev/diskX>'': device descriptor for the SD card |
| | 32 | 1. If successful, dd should report the following (the time/throughput values will differ): |
| | 33 | {{{ |
| | 34 | 18032+1 records in |
| | 35 | 18032+1 records out |
| | 36 | 9232444 bytes transferred in 8.503631 secs (1085706 bytes/sec) |
| | 37 | }}} |
| | 38 | 1. Repeat for additional .bin config files if needed. |
| | 39 | 1. Eject the SD card in the Finder (if it's mounted). |
