== Raspberry Pi OS ==

Raspberry Pi OS is a debian distro that now supports my 4k Sony "monitor" out of the box, nice.  I re-installed to carambola in 2022/06.

=== Built-in installation ===

* Use the [https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ Imager] to grab an image and burn to an SD card
 sudo dpkg -i imager_1.7.2_amd64.deb
 sudo rpi-imager&
 # pick Raspberry Pi OS LITE (32-bit or 64-bit?  I am trying both...)
* Plug power, keyboard and HDMI cable into pi and boot it up
* Go through setup wizard: US, username m, etc.
* Run config to set hostname, and turn on ssh and wifi:
 sudo raspi-config
 # 1 System Options > S4 Hostname > (eg: carambola)
 # 1 System Options > S1 Wireless LAN > Enter 2.4 SSID + pw
 # 3 Interface Options > I2 SSH > Enable
 # 6 Advanced Options > A1 Expand Filesystem
 ip a # capture the MAC address, add (MAC,hostname,IP) entry to bitpost dnsmasq
 reboot

You can now ssh from a more comfortable location to set things up.

=== Setup over ssh ===

 ssh m@carambola
 # you may want to run the config tool again and tweak things...?  i didn't bother...
 sudo raspi-config

That's basically it.

=== Expand ===

You now have a barebones Pi to grow into whatever you need.  I'm hitting carambola with ROS!
