What you need is a microSD card that is at least 1Gio. Note that this document refers to the microSD card as @sdcard@.

Make sure you have downloaded all the required files to install Replicant on sdcard:
8
* bootloader.img

h3. Getting the install script
14 1 Paul Kocialkowski
15
To make it easier to install Replicant on GTA04, you can use the install script: replicant_gta04_install.sh.
16 4 Paul Kocialkowski
It should be shipped with Replicant images or copied in @out/target/product/gta04/@ during the build process.
17 1 Paul Kocialkowski
If you cannot find the script, download the latest version from gitorious: "replicant_gta04_install.sh":https://gitorious.org/replicant/device_goldelico_gta04/blobs/raw/replicant-2.3/replicant_gta04_install.sh

Notes:
29

32
</pre>

h3. Creating an install sdcard
35
36
The install sdcard will flash the bootloader, the boot instructions and the kernel to the GTA04 NAND flash.
37
Make sure that the following files are in the directory where you run the script: @bootloader.img boot.scr boot.img@
38
39
Process that way:
40 1 Paul Kocialkowski
<pre>
41 5 Paul Kocialkowski
./replicant_gta04_install.sh install
42
</pre>
43 1 Paul Kocialkowski
44 5 Paul Kocialkowski
If you know what the sdcard drive is, you can also specify it explicitly:
45
<pre>
46
./replicant_gta04_install.sh install /dev/sde
47 1 Paul Kocialkowski
</pre>
48
49 5 Paul Kocialkowski
The script will then format the sdcard and copy the files. Once it has completed with success (@Your drive is now ready to be used!@), put the sdcard in the phone and boot.
50
It will flash the files to the GTA04 NAND flash. 
51
52
The AUX (top left) led indicates the status:
53
54
|_. Led color |_. Status |
55
| Orange | Flashing |
56
| Yellow | Completed |
57
| Red | Error |
58
59
If flashing failed, you might need to get a serial cable to investigate what's going on.
