4 – Raspberry Pi: First Boot

Now the most important moment: the first boot. I connected an USB keyboard and mouse, a RJ45 ethernet connector, a LCD monitor connected via the HDMI port, the SD card and the micro USB power supply:

Raspberry Pi Model B board

If the card is not damaged, the LED indicators should turn on like that:

And you should quickly see this screen:

I validated Finish and Raspbian finally started up:

The nice thing is that you have now a fully functional Linux system: you can immediatly browse the Net:

My first contact with the Raspberry Pi board is a success. Now the next step is to update and compile my new 3d framework… Stay tuned!

    You will want to cross compile the 3D framework rather than compiling on the device as it cpu is only 700mhz, although it can be over clocked and volted to over 1ghz when using the Governor CPU scaler.
