The libretech-flash-tool (lft) is a specialized shell utility designed to manage bootloaders and operating system deployment for Libre Computer single-board computers (SBCs). Key Features

def load_device_config(): # Example: detect by USB VID:PID or mmcblk path with open(CONFIG_PATH) as f: return json.load(f)

  • Extend this with GUI (GTK) progress feedback?
  • Add UART unbrick recovery mode?
  • Implement signature verification for official Librem images?
  • Support flashing multiple devices in parallel?

Most SBCs require a specific bootloader to be written to a specific sector of the storage media before the OS can even begin to load. Generic tools simply write the raw image provided by the user. If that image lacks the correct bootloader for the specific revision of the board, or if the user is trying to migrate from an SD card to an eMMC module with a different partition layout, the process fails.

The tool is designed to run in a Linux terminal. Follow these steps to prepare your media: 1. Download and Setup Clone the repository and enter the directory:
