While I¡¯ve also used dd for this, BalenaEtcher works great on the Mac as well.

The details of using the dd command are all over the internet.

Hi Al,
I used balenaEtcher to write to a Toshiba 32bit SD card,
runs
fine on my Pi 4, really nice of Ashhar to put the circuit of the
sBitx
as desktop back ground :-)

Hi Ashhar,
The dd is sometimes called disk destroyer if you don't
know your machines layout, for example I use dd bs=4M if=image
of=/dev/sd# status=progress && sync, I like to see the progress of the copy.
regards Alf
