How to install Android Things using OS X
If you have a Mac OS X, the steps to install Android Things are slightly different. There are several options to flash this OS to the SD card; you will learn the fastest and easiest one.
These are the steps to follow:
- Format your SD card using FAT32. Insert your SD card into your Mac and run Disk Utility. You should see something like this:

- Download the Android Things OS image using this link: https://developer.android.com/things/preview/download.html.
- Unzip the file you have downloaded.
- Insert the SD card into your Mac.
- Now it is time to copy the image to the SD card. Open a terminal window and write the following:
sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdiskn
Where the path_to_your_image is the path to the file with the img extension you downloaded at step 2. In order to find out the rdiskn you have to select Preferences and then System Report. The result is shown in the following screenshot:

The BSD name is the disk name we are looking for. In this case, we have to write the following:
sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/disk1
That's all. You have to wait until the image is copied into the SD card. Do not forget that the copying process could take a while. So be patient!
