OK, just FYI, with bmaptool you could flash directly from the URL, see examples here: https://source.tizen.org/documentation/articles/bmaptool-copy > I unpacked it onto a bootable GParted USB stick, You do not need to unpack it anywhere, but you can, of course, in you need the uncompressed version, but for flashing to an USB stick you do not need to unpack. > dd-ed it onto the partition, You should dd to the disk itself, not to the partition. The Tizen IVI image contains own partition table. Brian posted you the links where you can find instructions for both dd and bmaptool. But generally, just to let you understand the internals, Tizen IVI images are raw images. They contain the partition table, partitions, and all the FS data on the partitions. They are supposed to be copied to the block device as is. Of course, if your block device is larger, you'll end up with unpartitioned space. You'll need to create more partitions or re-size the last partition, which is the rootfs partition. There is on-going work to make the installer which will install Tizen IVI from USB stick to the internal disk, and use all the disk space. So in the future. Here is some basic info about what raw images are: https://source.tizen.org/documentation/reference/bmaptool/introduction See section "raw images". > I'm also wondering if there might be some variations within the > NDis166 hardware that makes my box fail to accept the image.

No, the process is simpler than that. You just drop the image to an USB stick as is. You may take any USB stick, you do not have to format it prior to flashing. You just write the image to the USB stick starting from sector number 0. Then you can boot off the USB stick. If you then want to make the internal SSD bootable, there are a couple of caveats. In the future this will be easy, we are working on it, just do not have enough resources to implement it quickly.
