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 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 keyboard and HDMI cable into pi
Optionally plug in ethernet too, if you want those higher speed transfers
Plug in power, boot it up and 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 a wifi (MAC,hostname,IP) entry to bitpost dnsmasq, optionally add wired too
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!
