Writing Images for Raspberry Pi SD Cards (mac os)
  1. Insert SD card to mac
  2. In disk utility, or from command line, unmount the SD card disk
  3. Format the disk as FAT
  4. Install ddrescue, a better version of dd: brew install ddrescue
  5. Locate the raw disk that is used for the SD card, on my laptop, it's /dev/rdisk2
  6. Write your boot image to the SD card: sudo ddrescue -v --force boot-image-of-choice.img /dev/rdisk2
