<Lable>
FreeDos
MBR
BIOS
Large FAT32

III. Copy unzipped NOOBS to SD Card https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/

IV. Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi board and power ON
V. Press and Hold Shift Key when Appear the Shift Button on Screen till open Installation window
VI. Connect internet (Wi-fi/Ethernet)
VII. Mark on Raspbian Full [RECOMMENDED] and if you want other software then mark those software

 2. OS install in Raspberry pi (Methode-2)
I. Download official Raspberry Pi imager

II. And keep at least 8 GB micro-SD memory card (Card reader Adaptor is recommended) and format to FAT32
or Erase the card by Raspberry Pi imager

Follow the on-screen instructions. It may take around 1 hr.

III. After installing OS unmount the card from PC/Mac and insert in Raspberry Pi to start the raspberry Pi.

3. Screen configuration on Raspberry pi (SSH/ VNC/ DSI/ HDMI)

I. For SSH use “SSH” enable in interface menu
a. If Monitor or screen is not connected, then use SSH first time to set VNC or other option by boot
SSH.
b. Shutdown Raspberry Pi and remove SD card from Board.
c. Insert SD card in PC/MAC (recommend use card Adaptor and put switch UP for unlock).
d. Go to SD card “boot” directory using file manager.
e. Create a new empty file named ssh without any extension, inside the boot directory (Open notebook
and save empty file remove file extension).
f. Remove the SD card from your computer and put it in your Raspberry Pi.
g. Power on your Pi board.
h. On boot automatically Pi will check whether this file exists and if it does, SSH will be enabled, and
the file is removed which created earlier.
i. Ensure IP address of Raspberry pi board (Prefer Ethernet connection so no need to additional
configuration)
j. You may get IP address from Router admin
k. Login on Pi using ssh by
i. ssh <username>@<ip address> example: ssh [email protected]
ii. if key warning appears and refuse connection on ssh then refresh the ssh key
iii. To update the ssh key run command on host machine ssh-keygen -R <host ip> and then again
run command on host machine for clint (RPI) key refresh, ssh-keygen -R <Raspberry pi ip>
Example: ssh-keygen -R 192.168.0.3
iv. Default username of Raspberry pi is pi and password is raspberry
v. For Raspberry pi command line setup open terminal on RPi or run in ssh terminal
sudo raspi-config

II. For VNC use “VNC” enable in interface menu

a. Use same user account in host as well as in clint for remote over cloud connectivity

 b. Desktop mode and CLI mode set using sudo raspi-config Menu.

III. For DSI or HDMI use Screen configuration menu

a. Screen setting or resolution:
b. sudo raspi-config
c. HDMI-> Enable = Set resolution as per required
d. Composite-> Enable = Fix resolution
e. For 2.8-inch 40 PIN GPIO wave share Screen follow wave share instructions and use sudo nano
for file edit

4. First time Configuration of Raspberry Pi

I. Open Terminal windows and run each code below:
“Don’t run these set of Code frequently if you are already configured or using Raspberry Pi”
“if any code returns error, then ignore that code and proceed to next task”
(a) sudo apt-get update
(b) sudo apt-get upgrade
(c) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
(d) sudo reboot
(e) sudo apt-get update
(f) sudo apt-get upgrade
(g) sudo rpi-update
(h) sudo apt install rpi-eeprom
(i) sudo reboot
(j) sudo apt-get clean
(k) sudo reboot

 II. Configuration Settings of Raspberry Pi:

Optional

5. Task During Use of Raspberry Pi

I. Open Terminal Windows and run code Time to time
(a) sudo pip install --upgrade pip
(b) sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
(c) sudo apt-get update
(d) sudo apt-get upgrade
(e) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
(f) sudo reboot
6. Installation of Python and its library on Raspberry Pi
I. Open Terminal Windows and run Code
“if any code returns error, then ignore that code and proceed to next task”
(a) sudo apt-get update
(b) sudo apt install python3 idle3
(c) sudo pip3 install pip
(d) sudo pip install pip

 (c) sudo chmod 777 /etc/rc.local
(d) sudo chmod 777 /sys/devices/platform/rpi_backlight/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness
“First connect RPi Official Screen to control Brightness and after connecting the RPi official Screen all
backlight folder Auto installed in System. If Screen is not connected then Brightness folder not show.
External Display brightness not control by this method”

***There are three Classes – Owner, Group, Others***

0 – no permission || 1 – execute || 2 – write || 3 – write and execute || 4 – read
5 – read and execute || 6 – read and write || 7 – read, write, and execute
#755 – This set of permission is commonly used in web server permissions to read, write and execute
#777 – Everyone can read write and execute. In a web server, it is not advisable to set ‘777’
#644 – Only the owner can read and write. Everyone else can only read. No one can execute the file.
#link for reference "sudo chmod" https://www.maketecheasier.com/file-permissions-what-does-chmod-777-

II. Add command line to <rc.local> to run code on bootup of the raspberry pi
path Location of Terminal file </etc/rc.local>
