Additionally, these instructions assume you are using Linux with ``sudo`` privileges and ``gdisk``, but you can follow a similar set of steps on Mac (using ``gpt`` or another similar program).
1. Wipe the GPT on the card using ``gdisk``.
Use the `z` command to zap everything.
Use the `z` command to zap everything from the expert menu (opened with 'x', closed with 'm').
For rest of these instructions, we assume the SDCard path is ``/dev/sdc`` (replace this with the path to your SDCard).
.. code-block:: shell
sudo gdisk /dev/sdc
2. The VCU118 bootrom assumes that the Linux binary to load into memory will be located on sector 34 of the SDCard.
Change the default partition alignment to `1` so you can write to sector `34`.
Do this with the `l` command.
3. Create the new GPT with `o`.

4. Create a 512MiB partition to store the Linux binary (this can be smaller but it must be larger than the size of the Linux binary).
Use `n` and select sector 34, with size `+1048576` (corresponding to 512MiB).
Use `n`, partion number 1 and select sector 34, with size `+1048576` (corresponding to 512MiB).
For the type, search for the `apfs` type and use the hex number given.
5. Create a second partition to store any other files with the rest of the SDCard.
Use `n` and use the defaults for starting sector and overall size (expand the 2nd partition to the rest of the SDCard space).
