![]() ![]() If you do not see any output on your HDMI display or are using the RCA composite output, press 1, 2, 3 or 4 on your keyboard to select HDMI preferred mode, HDMI safe mode, composite PAL mode or composite NTSC mode respectively.įor the initial setup and to make sure everything is working correctly, it is highly recommended to simply use a standard wired USB keyboard and mouse. When using NOOBS, by default the Raspberry Pi will output over HDMI at your display’s preferred resolution, even if no HDMI display is connected. You can also use a HDMI to DVI or HDMI to VGA adapter if your monitor only supports a DVI or VGA connection. For best results and display quality, it is highly recommended to use the HDMI connection. The Raspberry Pi can be connected to a digital display through an HDMI connection or to an analogue display through a composite video connection. You typically would want to download the "NOOBS (offline and network install)" option. To prepare your SD card with the NOOBS image, follow the instructions on the Raspberry Pi Downloads page at. The choice means you can boot the Pi with a regular operating system like Raspbian, or with a media-centre specific OS like RaspBMC. When you boot up for the first time, a menu will be presented prompting you to install one of several operating systems into the free space on the card. The most recent image for NOOBS can be found on the downloads page of the Raspberry Pi website and you can simply unpack it onto a freshly formatted 4GB (or larger) SD card. You won’t need network access, and you won’t need to download any special imaging software. NOOBS is a way to make setting up a Raspberry Pi for the first time much, much easier. Recently, the Raspberry Pi Foundation released what is referred to as "NOOBS" (New Out of Box Software) and this is the recommended way to get started. Some popular supported operating systems are currently: There are many different operating systems currently supported by the Raspberry Pi and more are being ported every day. An Operating System is the set of basic programs and utilities that allow your computer to run; examples include Windows on a PC or OSX on a Mac. In order to use your Raspberry Pi, you will need to install a supported Operating System (OS) onto an SD card. When using the SD Formatting tool, you need to make sure you click "Options" and select “Format Size Adjustment” if you would like to re-partition the card to its full size. If you would like to reformat the SD card completely, you can use the SD Formatting tool from the following link to reformat the card: The SD cards are indeed 8 GB and you can expand the partition or create new partitions as desired within the operating system. IMPORTANT NOTE: The pre-loaded 8 GB SD cards included in the CanaKit Starter Kits come factory pre-partitioned and when inserting into a desktop computer you may only see one small partition. If you purchased one of CanaKit's Raspberry Pi Starter Kits that already includes a pre-loaded SD card, or have a pre-loaded SD card, you can skip this step. If you purchased one of CanaKit's Raspberry Pi Starter Kits, it will include many of the above items depending on the specific kit, but we have included links to individual items above if you already have a Raspberry Pi and are missing a particular component. - A case to hold and protect your Raspberry Pi.- USB WiFi Dongle/Adapter supported by the operating system.- Ethernet cable for connection to a wired network.- Micro USB Power Supply (adapter) capable of delivering 1A 5.0V.- HDMI cable or RCA cable if using an analog composite display.- HDMI monitor or a display that has RCA composite video input (HDMI monitor highly recommended).- SD Card loaded with a supported operating system.Click here to download.Ĭongratulations on your purchase and welcome to the exciting world of the Raspberry Pi! To setup your Raspberry Pi, you will typically need the following items: The new complete CanaKit Raspberry Pi Quick-Start Guide is now available.
