Coming soon.

Write the card image to a microSD card, put it in TF1 and turn the handheld on; the first boot makes the rest of the card your storage. Later versions arrive over Wi-Fi (Settings → Updates).

sudo bmaptool copy senkos-image.wic.zst /dev/sdX

Any tool that writes .zst images works too, e.g. zstdcat senkos-image.wic.zst | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=4M.
