Which card to use

I typically ship 32 gig microSD cards with Dexter these days.

Where to get the base image

You will need to decompress with 7zip ( https://www.7-zip.org/ ).

How to write the new image

The procedure for writing the new SD card image will be the same for any Raspberry Pi application.

Current Pi instructions are : https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md

Alternate instructions : https://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Create_your_own

How to use the SD card once you have written an image to it

  1. Make sure Dexter's USB drive is inserted into Dexter's Raspberry Pi.
  2. Insert newly imaged SD card into Dexter's Raspberry Pi.
  3. Power on. If all goes well, the SD card will setup itself using data from the USB drive and you will be up and running in a few minutes. Dexter's video output will show a progress bar.
