Mac OSX installs the Raspbian system for Raspberry Pi

Install Raspbian system to Raspberry Pi under Mac OS x

Go to the official Raspberry Pi website to download a system image, it is recommended to download Raspbian.

If using the direct extension of the waveshare TFT small screen, to Http://www.waveshare.net/wiki/RPI_IMAGE to download.

Get an img image when the download is complete:

Insert the SD card and use the DF command to view the currently mounted volumes:

[[email protected]: pi] $df  -hFilesystem       size   used  avail capacity  mounted  on/dev/disk0s2   112Gi   96Gi   15Gi     87%    /devfs          183Ki   183Ki    0Bi   100%    /devmap -hosts        0Bi    0Bi    0Bi    100%    /netmap auto_home    0bi    0bi     0Bi   100%    /home/dev/disk1s1     15gi  2.3mi   15gi     1%    / Volumes/not named 

Compare size and name to find the SD card partition in the system corresponding to the device file (here is/DEV/DISK1S1), if you have multiple partitions, there may be disk1s2 and the like. Use Diskutil unmount to unload these partitions:

[[Email protected]: pi] $diskutil unmount/dev/disk1s12volume not named on DISK1S1 unmounted

Confirm the device by Diskutil list:

[[Email protected]: pi] $diskutil  list/dev/disk0   #:                         TYPE NAME                     size       identifier   0:       GUID_partition_scheme                         *121.3 gb    disk0   1:                         EFI                           209.7 mb   disk0s1   2:                   Apple_HFS Macintosh HD             120.5 GB   disk0s2   3:                  Apple_Boot  Recovery hd             650.0 mb    disk0s3/dev/disk1   #:                        TYPE NAME                      size       identifier   0:      fdisk_partition_scheme                         *15.8 GB    disk1   1:                Windows_NTFS  not named                    15.8 gb     disk1s1

Using the DD command to write the system image, you need to pay special attention to the number after disk, can not be mistaken!
(Description:/DEV/DISK1S1 is a partition,/dev/disk1 is a block device,/dev/rdisk1 is a raw character device)

[[Email protected]: pi] $dd bs=4m if=2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk1

After a few minutes of waiting, the following prompt appears, indicating that the SD card is brushed:

462+1 Records in462+1 records out1939865600 bytes transferred in 163.133220 secs (11891297 bytes/sec)

Uninstalling the device with Diskutil Unmountdisk:

[[Email protected]: pi] $diskutil unmountdisk/dev/disk1unmount of all volumes on Disk1 was successful

You can now unplug the SD card and plug it into the Raspberry Pi boot system.

The first boot will go into the raspi-config, the following configuration method is the same as other platforms, refer to the use of Raspi-config configuration Raspberry Pi.
