EtchDroid is a copylefted libre GPLv3+ app helping you write images to USB drives.

Use it to make a bootable GNU/Linux USB drive when your laptop is dead and you're in the middle of nowhere.

Features:

• Supports raw disk images and most GNU/Linux distributions ISOs

• Supports Raspberry Pi images (extract the ZIP file first; use a SD to USB adapter, the internal SD slot is not supported)

• Supports most DMG disk images (beta)

• No root - everything is done within the bounds of the Android API

• Free as in freedom

Planned:

• Write common GNU/Linux distro in streaming from the Internet without storing it on the device
