+\section e3x0_upgrade_sd_card Upgrading / Writing image to sd card
+
+In order to upgrade or reinitialize a sd card for the first time, you can use the 'dd' tool.
+Make sure that you are using the right block device for your sd card as failing to do so can wipe your harddrive.
+
+Replace <yourimage>.direct with your image file name and yoursdcard with your blockdevice e.g. /dev/mmcblk0 or /dev/sdb.
+
+ $ sudo dd if=<yourimage>.direct of=/dev/<yoursdcard> bs=1M
+
+Notes: The commands will wipe the entire sd card and reinitialize it. Newer images need a 8GB sd card.
