在Mac上制作树莓派SD镜像

先记录下，等有空翻译下，在Mac上制作树莓派的镜像还是比较麻烦的，好处是不需要第三方软件，用命令行就可以了。在windows上就比较简单。

On Mac OS you have the choice of the command line dd tool or using the graphical tool ImageWriter to write the image to your SD card.

(MOSTLY) GRAPHICAL INTERFACE

Connect the SD card reader with the SD card inside. Note that it must be formatted in FAT32.
From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac, then click on More info...; if you are using Mac OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion or newer then click on System Report.
Click on USB (or Card Reader if using a built-in SD card reader) then search for your SD card in the upper right section of the window. Click on it, then search for the BSD name in the lower right section; it will look something like 'diskn' where n is a number (for example, disk4). Make sure you take a note of this number.
Unmount the partition so that you will be allowed to overwrite the disk; to do this, open Disk Utility and unmount it (do not eject it, or you will have to reconnect it). Note that On Mac OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion, "Verify Disk" (before unmounting) will display the BSD name as "/dev/disk1s1" or similar, allowing you to skip the previous two steps.
From the terminal run:
```
sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdiskn
```
Remember to replace n with the number that you noted before!
- If this command fails, try using disk instead of rdisk:
```
sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/diskn
```

COMMAND LINE

If you are comfortable with the command line, you can write the image to a SD card without any additional software. Open a terminal, then run:

diskutil list
Identify the disk (not partition) of your SD card e.g. disk4 (not disk4s1).
Unmount your SD card by using the disk identifier to prepare copying data to it:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk<disk# from diskutil>

e.g. diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4
Copy the data to your SD card:

sudo dd bs=1m if=image.img of=/dev/rdisk<disk# from diskutil>

e.g. sudo dd bs=1m if=2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/rdisk4
- This may result in an dd: invalid number '1m' error if you have GNU coreutils installed. In that case you need to use 1M:
  
  sudo dd bs=1M if=image.img of=/dev/rdisk<disk# from diskutil>
This will take a few minutes, depending on the image file size. You can check the progress by sending a SIGINFO signal pressing Ctrl+T.
- If this command still fails, try using disk instead of rdisk:
```
e.g. `sudo dd bs=1m if=2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/disk4`
```
  or
```
e.g. `sudo dd bs=1M if=2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/disk4`
```

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

Note: Some users have reported issues with using Mac OS X to create SD cards.

These commands and actions need to be performed from an account that has administrator privileges.

From the terminal run df -h.
Connect the SD card reader with the SD card inside.
Run df -h again and look for the new device that wasn't listed last time. Record the device name of the filesystem's partition, for example /dev/disk3s1.
Unmount the partition so that you will be allowed to overwrite the disk:
```
sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk3s1
```
(or open Disk Utility and unmount the partition of the SD card (do not eject it, or you will have to reconnect it)
Using the device name of the partition, work out the raw device name for the entire disk by omitting the final "s1" and replacing "disk" with "rdisk". This is very important as you will lose all data on the hard drive if you provide the wrong device name. Make sure the device name is the name of the whole SD card as described above, not just a partition of it (for example, rdisk3, not rdisk3s1). Similarly, you might have another SD drive name/number like rdisk2 or rdisk4; you can check again by using the df -h command both before and after you insert your SD card reader into your Mac. For example, /dev/disk3s1 becomes /dev/rdisk3.
In the terminal, write the image to the card with this command, using the raw disk device name from above. Read the above step carefully to be sure you use the correct rdisk number here:
```
sudo dd bs=1m if=2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/rdisk3
```
If the above command reports an error (dd: bs: illegal numeric value), please change bs=1m to bs=1M.

If the above command reports an error dd: /dev/rdisk3: Permission denied then that is because the partition table of the SD card is being protected against being overwritten by MacOS. Erase the SD card's partition table using this command:
```
sudo diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk3 1 MBR "Free Space" "%noformat%" 100%
```
That command will also set the permissions on the device to allow writing. Now try the dd command again.

Note that dd will not feedback any information until there is an error or it is finished; information will be shown and the disk will re-mount when complete. However if you wish to view the progress you can use 'ctrl-T'; this generates SIGINFO, the status argument of your tty, and will display information on the process.
After the dd command finishes, eject the card:
```
sudo diskutil eject /dev/rdisk3
```
(or: open Disk Utility and eject the SD card)
