Hi folks,

I ran into some disk space issues with my board after I started experimenting with it without an SD card. Eventually I had to take the route of re-imaging the board and preparing it for working with Voyager-sdk again. In the process, I took help from the relevant help pages as well as forum posts and replies from ​@shabaz and ​@Spanner , and this all took me some time.

To avoid spending the same amount of time the next time, I took this opportunity to write down all the steps I took. The full procedure is detailed on my public github page:

axelera/board_preparation/AetinaRK3588_MetisM2_setup.md at main · SaadTiwana/axelera

I am not copy-pasting the procedure into this post because I may update the github page in future with some more/updated information.

The post covers:

1. Reimaging the Aetina RK3588 board
2. User & auto login setup
3. Getting wifi/bluetooth working
4. Setting up SD card to extend storage
5. Install docker
6. Install voyager sdk
7. Upgrade Metis M.2 firmware
8. Setting up remote access 

For tasks where the instructions on original pages were sufficient, and/or which may change with future voyager-sdk releases, I linked the original sources.

Hopefully this helps anyone else needing to reimage the Aetina RK3588 board with Metis M.2 in future. Please do let me know if you have any feedback on the contents of the page, and I will happily update.
