Image is created using the A13-SDK (large archive) -- a long Android compilation running on Linux. Search the product pages/wiki/forum for info. I am not sure what is the "final" utility used to assemble the .img but I assume that can be found in the A13-SDK with some digging.  "LiveSuit" and "PhoenixCard" are ways to get that .img flashed in the nand. Also the http://linux-sunxi.org community site has some good info.

Hope that helps.

Dig a round a bit as I think some needs 64-bit host OS.

This is not a terribly dire process but you should not think it is a trivial task.  Are you sure you need to do it...

Search this forum for words like sdk, android, ubuntu. This is explained in many subjects. But make sure you have 4 or 8 GB ram and 50 gb storage. It takes so much time. Also check this subject:
