You can install the release to your MicroSD or eMMC with the tool dd in Linux or Win32DiskImager in Windows. Please refer this for more detail.

Since Android release 2.0, we provide you update package which can upgrade your device without rewrite your SD card or eMMC. This package can be downloaded and upgrade on ODROID Utility.

• Check online update
