Reflashing/ Imaging BIQU Hurakan OS Guide:
Link 1: BIQU Hurakan OS Download (required) (warning large file: 5GB+ unzipped)
https://github.com/bigtreetech/CB1/releases/download/V2.2.1/Hurakan_Debian11_Mainsail_kernel5.16_20221119.img.xz
(check https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIQU-Hurakan/releases for newer releases)
Link 2: Raspberry Pi Imager Page (required)
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ For the printer to read the OS file it needs to have all the internals extracted directly the card in a bootable form, which is what Raspberry Pi Imager is for.

Step 1: Download necessary programs and files
Download link 1 (BIQU Hurakan OS Image) and the software from link 2 (Raspberry Pi Imager).
Step 2: Install application
Install the Raspberry Pi Imager application
Step 3: Start application and load file
Run Raspberry Pi Imager and you should be greeted by this menu (see image below). Select "Choose OS" and scroll down the menu of Operating Systems until you find "Use custom". When you select this, you can browse to find and select the zipped OS file downloaded earlier. In this case the name is "Hurakan_Debian11_Mainsail_kernel5.16_20221119.img(1).xz" located in the Downloads folder.
Step 4: Select storage device
Once you find the OS file, click "Open" and you will return to the main menu. Now "Choose Storage" to select the storage device (the Micro SD Card) to be formatted and flashed with the OS. Plug in the OS card to the card reader and select it (name may be unrecognisable but if using the original Micro SD Card it should be around 30GB). Note: Take care to choose the correct device and that there is no important data stored, as the data is going to be erased.
Step 5: Modify settings and start imaging
Once you select the card, you will once again return to the main menu. Now the "Next" button should be lit up. Click it, and a message stating "Would you like to apply OS customisation settings?" will appear. Select "Edit Settings" to gain access to options like enabling SSH, editing the default username and password, etc. Otherwise select "No" and the card will begin the imaging process which will take some time. When completed, you will recieve a new message stating that the device has been successfully imaged and can be removed.
The OS customisation settings:
To be able to connect to the web interface for the machine through local Wi-Fi tick the "Configure wireless LAN" checkbox and type in the correct SSID and Password. This is not needed with a direct ethernet cable to your router.
Message that appears before imaging the storage device (Micro SD card):
Step 6: Begin using on printer
When the imaging is complete, disconnect the card and insert it into the OS card slot of the machine. Start up the machine, and after some waiting it should boot into it's main menu ready to print.
Linking through ethernet
If you have correctly input your Wi-Fi SSID and password (or are using an ethernet cable), you can connect to the machine's hosted interface through a website browser. If you scroll through the Hurakan's menu with the scroll wheel you should find the assigned IP-address the router if it is successfully connected. Type this into the browser of a device on the same local network and it should successfully load the interface for the machine.
Example of the Hurakan's display:
