Install Raspberry Pi operating system without monitor

Raspberry Pi is a micro-computer with a card size and low cost. It is ideal for learning Linux operating systems, or building a media center for family micro-servers.

I will not talk about Raspberry Pi in detail. If you want to learn more about Raspberry Pi, You can Google or visit Raspberry Pi's official website http://www.raspberrypi.org /.

This article mainly discusses how to install and log on to Raspberry Pi without a monitor.

In fact, because of the cost, the Raspberry Pi we purchased usually only one motherboard. Of course, the main components such as CPU and memory are available on the motherboard. Although Raspberry Pi provides an HDMI interface for external display, not everyone has a display that supports HDMI, and the voltage relationship is not necessarily able to drive the HDMI display. My Raspberry Pi was so tragic that it was not able to carry the monitor, and I suspect that the voltage was not enough to carry my monitor. Therefore, you can only find a way to install the system and log on to the system without a monitor.

The overall solution is to use a network cable to connect the Raspberry Pi to the vro after Raspberry Pi is installed, and then remotely log on to Raspberry Pi through LAN ssh.

Hardware preparation:

1. Raspberry Pi (B-type Raspberry Pi is used here. Compared with A-type Raspberry Pi, B-type Raspberry Pi has more powerful performance and provides more interfaces ).

2. One power supply and one data line (the current power supply and data line can be used for power supply to Raspberry Pi, and the rated power supply current can have 2a better)

3. One network cable and one vro.

4. One computer (the Windows platform computer is used here ).

5. One SD card or one TF card + TF card converter.

First, install the system for Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi does not have a hard disk, but the SD card interface is left. For Raspberry Pi, the SD card is the hard disk. Of course, you can also use the TF card + TF converter. I use the TF card, which is cheaper than the SD card.

Installing the system is actually burning the system image into the SD card. Raspberry Pi provides various types of systems on its official website. I use the raspbian system, which was officially modified by Raspberry Pi according to the Debian system. You can download the corresponding system image from the official website based on your needs, or you can download the version I used on the Baidu online storage.

After downloading, you will get a zip package. After decompression, it will be the image file of the IMG system we need. Next, we also need an image burning tool. The win32diskimage burning tool is officially recommended. You can download it here.

After the system image and burning tool are downloaded, you can start the burning. Connect your SD card or TF card to your computer, and then enable the win32diskimage burning tool. Be sure to run this tool as an administrator. After running, you will see the software interface:

Select the downloaded Raspberry Pi system image file on the left and your SD card drive letter on the device on the right. Here, my SD card drive letter is F (10 million attention! Make sure it is an SD card. Otherwise, store the data in other partitions to overwrite your valuable data. The consequences are unimaginable ). After confirming that the data is correct, you can click the write button to download the data.

After the installation is complete, remove the SD card and install it on Raspberry Pi. Connect Raspberry Pi to your router with a network cable, and then power on. By default, the raspbian system starts the SSH service at the same time as it starts. We just need to use SSH to remotely log on to Raspberry Pi.

At this time, you can first log on to your vro to view the current list of vro clients. The purpose is to view the IP address allocated to Raspberry Pi by the vro, for example, I allocated the IP address 192.168.0.106 to Raspberry Pi in my vro:

Write down the IP address assigned by your router to Raspberry Pi. Next we will install the SSH remote client software putty on a Windows machine in the same LAN. You can download the software here. After Putty is installed, open the putty software and fill in the IP address assigned to Raspberry Pi by your router in host name. below is my assigned IP Address:

Click Open to connect to Raspberry Pi. The first connection will remind you whether to trust Raspberry Pi SSH fingerprint:

Click "OK" to display the terminal:

The Default User Name of Raspberry Pi is pi, And the password is raspberry. Enter it to log on:

If you see this interface, you have successfully logged on to Raspberry Pi and the system has been installed successfully.

Next, you can install the required software for Raspberry Pi as needed, such as VNC Remote Desktop.
