See the User Guide here for more details.ĭebian6-17-02-2012.img (obtained by using Drive Info button on RMPrepUSB)
loader.bin: 3rd stage bootloader, starts with SDRAM enabled.bootcode.bin: 2nd stage bootloader, starts with SDRAM disabled.
The RPi firmware is coded to look for the file bootcode.bin in the first FAT32 partition - the normal MBR - partition boot process is not followed. The SD card contents of debian6-17-02-2012.img is shown below, notice that we have three partitions:ģrd ptn 0192MB linux swap partition (type (82)Īlso notice that there is no partition marked as Active (bootable). That's it - now go try it! You can also make an image backup of the SD card at any time using RMPrepUSB Disk->File or the Win32DiskImager - Read button. If you have any problems copying the img file to the SD card, try the RMPrepUSB 'CLEAN' button first. Both are about the same speed, Win32DiskImager is simpler to use and does show the MD5 hash value for the chosen file so that you can check it easily but it does not show much information about the drive letter you have selected (and so may cause you to format the wrong drive!) and has been known to fail to copy the image on occasion. If you wish you can use the Win32DiskImager.exe utility instead of RMPrepUSB which you can download from here and select the win32diskimager-binary.zip. img file and then choose 0 - 0 - 0 for the file start, USB sector and USB length (meaning copy all contents of the file to the start of the SD card). Use RMPrepUSB and select your SD card - then use the File->Disk button, select the. img file - this file is a complete binary image of the whole SD card.ģ. Download your RPi image ZIP file - for instance the Debian download at debian6-17-02-2012.img or debian6-19-04-2012.zip.Ģ. Before you can do anything useful with your Raspberry Pi, you need to make an SD card which contains the boot files and the linux distribution.Īssuming you have a 2GB full size SD card or larger, you can create a bootable RPi SD card as follows:ġ.
