1 Introduction
In order to complete the burning process, we need to refer to the help provided by the official website wiki, the URL is

According to the introduction in the wiki, we need to prepare the following key contents:
Lichee RV 86 Panel, this is crap
Prepare TF memory card

System Image
The wiki provides mirror download addresses that can be accessed by domestic and foreign users. We definitely chose the domestic Baidu Netdisk. The address is
Password: wbef
The network disk contains many images. I chose LicheeRV_tina_86panel_480p_waft.7z to download as a backup.
According to the explanation on wiki, this image is the Linux tina openwrt system for RISC-V D1 by LicheeRV, with Taobao 86 panle, 480P resolution, and built-in waft software.
2. Description of the burning process
TF and PhoenixCard software have been prepared. First open the burning software PhoenixCard, this software is very good, in addition to burning firmware, it can also repair TF cards. My TF card capacity has become 0, use this software to restore it, and the capacity is back.
Then unzip the previously downloaded LicheeRV_Tina_86panel_480p_waft.7z to get an img file tina_d1-nezha_uart0.img.
Then open the image file with PhoenixCard software.
If the software correctly identifies your TF card, it will be displayed in the list with the drive letter and capacity marked.
Please note that in the "Card Type" option, you must select "Startup Card".
When everything is ready, we click the "Burn Card" button to start burning the image to the large storage card. When you see the following figure, it means the card burning is complete.
3. Adjust the size of the root partition
Install GParted software under Ubuntu, and you can adjust the partition size in a graphical way. Open GParted software, select the TF card, usually /dev/sdb, and the software will display the partition information on the current storage.
Double-click /dev/sdb7, we will see some prompts and find that there is 7.90G of unallocated space in the partition. If we want to expand it, we need to follow the prompts.
When executing Partition->Check again, if it is found that the command cannot be executed and is grayed out, we can uninstall the partition first and then execute it.
Click "Apply" to check and repair. After the check and repair are completed, we will see the following screen
Comparing the status before and after, we found that the partition has been expanded to this 8G space.
3. System startup
Insert the TF card we made into the card slot of D1, connect the USB cable, and start the system. Connect the serial terminal, we can see the startup information, and the screen shows a "weather example".
We execute df –h through the serial terminal to check whether the storage capacity has been expanded.
According to the displayed information, the root partition has been expanded to 7.8G space, and the usage is only 1%.
This completes the system burning process. We have already established the environment. Next, let’s study waft and see what it can do.
