+Installing via dd
+-----------------
+
+For the initial install of Buildroot you'll need to write a full system image to your board's storage.
+
+To flash to eMMC, first boot Linux from an SD card on the board. See [Seeed's ODYSSEY STM32MP157C Wiki page](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ODYSSEY-STM32MP157C/) for instructions on how to do this.
+
+First, copy the image to the board from your build server. In this case I'll use SFTP over SSH:
+
+```
+sftp build-server:/home/jookia/MYNA/buildroot/output_build/images/MynaPlayer.img .
+```
+
+Now write it to the eMMC:
+
+```
+dd if=MynaPlayer.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
+```
+
+Switch to eMMC boot and reboot.
+
+You can use this method to install updates, but it's much slower compared to rauc.
