Rasbain

Category: Raspberry Pi — dq @ 6:20 PM

Raspberry PI 3 Rasbain-Jessie is a Debian distribution we will need. Three options exist:

  1. Purchase a RPI with a pre-install version of NOOBS on the microSD card.
  2. Purchase a microSD with NOOBS on it.
  3. Download the Rasbain-Jessie and use Win32 Disk Imager to write the image.

NOOBS the preferred version during build because it will ask at every boot if you wish to overwrite (quick rebuild process).

Rasbain-Jessie is preferred over the NOOBS version for production (end-state) because it will NOT ask at every boot if you wish to overwrite.

I created a backup of the NOOBS disk using Win32 Disk Imager to READ and can now restore it with a WRITE using Win32 Disk Imager. Here is my backup: pi3_backup.img.rar (1.01GB).

Windows may not always work per the Installing Operating System Images guild, I’ve also use pwfree91.exe and SDFormatter.
