Setting a new Raspberry PI using setup scripts
- Download latest version of Raspabian https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ (Buster is the available version at the time of writing this guide) - preferable the standard version (neither full nor lite) - https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest
2a) Mount your SD card in linux and flash the image using _copy_image.sh (ensure you have the proper device names, usually it should be /dev/sda, but you can check using lsblk command), or by issuing command below: dd if='2020-raspabian/2020-02-13-raspbian-buster.img' of=/dev/ bs=4M conv=fsync status=progress
2b) Alternatively you can use the standard method using raspberry imager tools - https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
- Mount the sd card partiitons (you can use _mount_sda.sh) or issue the following commands: mkdir /tmp/sda1 mkdir /tmp/sda2 sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda1 sudo mount /dev/sda2 /tmp/sda2
- sd_01_boot.sh
- ensure that BOOT_PATH is properly configured in the script
- ensure that config/wpa_supplicant.conf has the right details
- sd_02_root.sh
- ensure that ROOT_PATH is properly configured in the script
- set the hostname -> HOSTNAME=mypi
- SET_PWR_LED - setting to 1 will install a script that will turn off the red PWR LED after booting is finidhed
- pi_01_setup_base.sh
- ensure that the timezone is set properly
- both sd_*.sh scripts need to be executed on a mounted SD card - they will prepare the insallation, configure basic system settings and copy the PI_Setup cripts to the card
- once booted into the PI you can execute the pi_*.sh scripts as required - usually *additional_tools.sh is optional
- run sudo raspi-config for standard configuration and to enable realvnc service in interfaces, cameras, etc.
- the passwords will be changed interactively
