Raspberry Pi
This document will help you configure a Raspberry Pi 2B or 3B
Windows
Required Software
To set up a Raspberry Pi from a Windows system you will require the following software:
- SD Memory Card Formatter from the SD Association (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/SDCardFormatterv5_WinEN.zip)
- Win32 Disk Imager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) for installing operating systems other than Raspian via NOOBs
- The Operating System you wish to install on the Raspberry Pi
- NOOBS (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/) installs Raspian, LebreELEC or some other OSs from the internet.
- Kali Linux or any other OS for Raspberry Pi(https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-arm-images/) requires the use of Win32 Disk
Format SD Card
First you must format the SD card. THIS WILL ERASE ALL EXISTING DATA ON THE SD CARD. Format the SD Card by following this process:
- Insert the SD card into a Windows PC. This can be via a card reader or a USB adapter.
- Open SD Memory Card Formatter
- In the SD Memory Card Formatter application perform the following actions:
- Under "Select Card" select the card you wish to format.
- Under formating options select "Quick Format" (overwrite format is fine but it will take much longer).
- Check the box labeled "CHS format Size Adjustment."
- Click the button labeled "Format."
- A window will appear reminding you that you are about to delete all the data on the SD Card. Click the button labeled "Yes."
A window will appear telling you that the SD card was successfully formatted.
Install OS to SD Card
Raspian
To install Raspian via NOOBS:
- Right Click on the NOOBS file you downloaded from raspberrypi.org and select "Extract All." A folder will be created. The folder will be named NOOBS_vX_X_X where X corresponds with the version number. E.g. NOOBS_V3_0_0 for NOOBS version 3.0.0
- Copy the contents of the NOOBS_vX_X_X folder to the root of the SD Card. NOTE: DO NOT COPY THE NOOBS DIRECTORY, ONLY THE CONTENTS.
- Remove the SD Card from the Windows machine and insert it in the SD slot of the Raspberry Pi.
- Start the Raspberry Pi and install Raspian with the NOOBS tool.
