Raspberry Pi OS Installation Guide: Installing the Operating System on a Micro SD Card

[@michaeldemers2716]

I like Berryboot Retro Pi. I like being able to have multiple Operating Systems. I have the Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB in the Vilros keyboard/touchpad hub with an 8bitdo N30 wireless mouse. It's like a Stealthy Black C64. ❤

Will try that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@harithakkar2205]

It's nice software + Hard were 👍🏻

[@gadgetspod]

Yes sir. We had made many projects based on Raspberry Pi like network bonding router, multiple platform streaming server, digital signage etc.

Do you have any advice for the custom OS option? I have been trying lineage-21.0-20240216-UNOFFICIAL-KonstaKANG-rpi5-ota.zip and several other android builds. Many videos say to just select the zip file (I have tried Imager and Etcher) and flash it. This seems to work fine for youtube creators, but I end up with an SD card that has the files in the root directory of zip. If I extract the zip and flash the boot.ini then my SD card looks like videos (8 files & overlays directory) but it is only 45 MB (the zip is 650 MB) and doesn't even produce the rainbow screen. Am I missing something in the flash utilities? is there a way to manually copy files to SD card?

I have to try it to giuide u. Wait a while till I do it.

@@gadgetspod i got a version to work. I think it worked the 1st time w the file I used but I kinda lost track of what I was flashing after many times. I had mostly been trying -ota versions, but it was the non ota android 14 by kangiskahn (ok, I'm writing this on phone from memory) that worked.

@@cartermclaughlin2908 Glad to hear that you sorted that out.

im crying rn cuz i dont have some shitty usb micro sd reader but only this camera. Im trying to download the rapsberry pi but it doesnt register the camera's sd as one!!!

[@gadgetspod]

First check is that if your SD card is Class 10 microSD card with at least 32GB of storage. If not buy a new one. And if yes than try formatting the card first, Do remember to take backup of any existing data in the card.

Your title must say that buy a CASE before going through this tutorial...

[@gadgetspod]

Actually I recommend the case as it makes connections of raspberrypi so easy and hassle free. Otherwise just Pi will suffice.

Unless the user doesn’t want/need a case.
