Raspberry Pi - Setup
Lets Boot it up !
Handle with Care
The Raspberry Pi was built to be used, but not abused.
Every P.C.B. should be handled with care.

Handle the Pi only by the edges of the board itself. Avoid


touching or holding any of the components on the board.

Rough Handling can cause solder points to fail and may


result in short circuits, but be careful with the GPIO pins as
well.

While connecting Hardware, double check the connections


and then power it up. Raspberry Pi GPIO’s are not 5V
tolerant.
Preparing a SD Card
Format a SD card that is 32GB or larger as FAT.
Use the Tool – SDFormatter (How ?)

Download and extract the files from the NOOBS zip file.

Copy the extracted files onto the SD card that you just
formatted so that this file is at the root directory of the SD
card.

When this process has finished, safely remove the SD


card and insert it into your Raspberry Pi and Power it up.

Raspberry Pi will boot, and a window will appear with a list


of different operating systems that you can install. We
recommend that you use Raspbian – tick the box next to
Raspbian and click on Install.

Wait for it to finish. (15 – 20 mins)


First Boot Up
When the install process has completed, the Raspberry Pi
configuration menu (raspi-config) will load.

Here you are able to set the time and date for your region
and enable a Raspberry Pi camera board, or even create
users.

To enter the Graphical environment enter the Command


startx

Default Login ID : pi, Default Password : raspberry


Time for a Quiz !
Answer the Following Question by sending a SMS on
+91-9962366726

Q1) Full name of Main Raspberry Pi (Foundation)


Founder.

Q2) Processor in Raspberry Pi and recommended O.S.

The first 2 correct answers get a ‘SWEET’ prize.


Operating System

A System Program that controls the execution of


Application Programs and is an interface b/w Applications
& Hardware.

It manages System Memory and Other resources of the


system.

It makes computer convenient to use and allows system


resources to be used in an efficient manner.
GNU/Linux
Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian
optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware.

Debian is one of the most popular Linux Distribution or


Flavour or Distro.

GNU/Linux – Free, Open Source, UNIX like Operating


System that runs on diverse computing Hardware Platforms.

It has Ample Support for Software development, whether


kernel or applications.

GNU : Provides the shell, library, compilers

Linux : Provides the Kernel

Examples of Major Free Distros : Fedora, Ubuntu,


Mandriva, Suse, etc
Embedded Linux
Linux running on Embedded Systems.

Due to its low cost and ease of customization, Linux has


been shipped in many consumer devices.

Even Android is a Linux Based Operating System which


is the leading OS platform in Smartphone, Tablet Market.

Other examples include Set Top Boxes, Wireless


Routers, smart TV’s, Industrial Automation, PDA’s, etc.

It has immense scope and endless opportunities .

The advantages of embedded Linux are multiple


suppliers for software, development and support; no
royalties or licensing fees; a stable kernel; the ability to
read, modify and redistribute the source code.
Linux File System
The arrangement of Files in Linux.
Directory Description
bin : Essential command binaries

boot : Static files of the boot loader

dev : Device files

etc : Host-specific system config

home : User login and data folders

lib : Essential shared libraries and kernel modules

mnt : Mount point for mounting a file system or media

opt : Add-on application software packages

proc : Virtual folder that has information about system


Directory Description
root : Home folder of the Linux super user

sbin : Essential system binaries

tmp : Temporary files

usr : Secondary hierarchy

var : Variable data


Linux Shell
To interact with the Operating System or Hardware we
need to enter some commands in the “Shell”.

Simply put, the shell is a program that takes your


commands from the keyboard and gives them to the
operating system to perform.

In the old days, it was the only user interface available


on a Unix computer.

Nowadays, we have graphical user interfaces


(GUIs) in addition to command line interfaces
(CLIs) such as the shell.

In GUI, we have "terminal emulators” or “consoles”


which are programs that put a window up and let us
interact with the shell.
Important Commands
1) ls

“ls” command displays the list of files present in a


given directory.

2) cd

“cd” or change directory command allows the user to


traverse through the directories and file paths.

3) cp

“cp” command is used to copy file(s) from a source to


a destination.

4) mv

Move files from source to destination.


Important Commands
5) rm

“rm” command is used to remove file/files.

6) mkdir

“mkdir” command is used to make a new directory or


folder in the current path.

7) rmdir

“rmdir” command is used to remove a directory or


folder in the current path.

8) clear

“clear” command is used to clear the contents on the


terminal window.
Important Commands
9) cat

“cat” command is used to concatenate and output the


contents of the given files.

10) pwd

“pwd” command is used to check the present working


directory.

11) sudo

“sudo” allows users to run programs with the security


privileges of super user or root or administrator.

12) chmod

“chmod” allows users to change access modes on


files.
Remote Login (ssh)
Secure Shell (ssh) is a network protocol which allows
remote control of Raspberry Pi from another computer
over the network.

Provides access to the Command Line and not to the


Full Desktop Environment.

You can enable or disable the SSH server on your


Raspberry Pi (it is enabled by default).

To Enable SSH, in the Terminal, enter sudo raspi-


config, enable the ssh, finish and exit the menu.

Use a third-party SSH client software on your


Windows System (like puTTy or TeraTerm) and access
Raspberry Pi by entering it’s I.P. Address, user (pi) and
password (raspberry).

To check Raspberry Pi’s I.P. Address, enter ifconfig in


the terminal.
Desktop Sharing (VNC)
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a graphical
desktop sharing system that allows you to remotely
control the desktop interface of one computer from
another.

It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from


the controller, and receives updates to the screen over
the network from the remote host.

This one is D.I.Y. and T.I.Y..

Programming on R.Pi
Raspberry Pi supports several Programming
Languages like : Python, C, C++, JAVA, Perl, HTML5,
JavaScript, JQuery, etc.

Python is supported as the principal or main user


programming language.

Extremely powerful and flexible language.

Can also be used to control hardware on the Pi.

Demo of Python Program on IDLE.

Demo of C Program on Raspberry Pi.

Compiled using gcc (GNU Compiler Collection)

GPIO on Raspberry Pi
40 GPIO Header in Pi 3 Model B.

These pins are a physical interface between the Pi


and the outside world.

Out of 40, 18 are dedicated IO Lines, 2 are for UART, 4


are for SPI (+1 for Another Chip Select) , and another 2
for the I2C Interface (Total 26 out of 40)

Rest are Supply Rails.
