Raspberry Pi OS Guide

Supported Operating Systems (OS)

Raspberry Pi all models are based on ARM processors which are typically quad-core Cortex-A7 CPUs. This means that most of popular multitasking OS systems can be uploaded and used to create and develop user software operations. The list of supported OS systems contains Linux, Windows and thirty part OS systems. The following list of figures of OS are specially designed for Raspberry Pi boards:

Figure 1: Raspbian [1].
Figure 2: Ubuntu Mate [2].
Figure 3: Snappy Ubuntu Core [3].
Figure 4: Windows 10 IOT Core [4].
Figure 5: OSMC [5].
Figure 6: LibreELEC [6].
Figure 7: Pinet [7].
Figure 8: Risc OS [8].

Before start installing the OS system on the Raspberry Pi board developer must prepare his hardware for it [9]. It means that the minimum hardware equipment is needed:

  • Raspberry Pi board,
  • monitor or TV with HDMI port,
  • HDMI cable,
  • USB keyboard,
  • USB mouse,
  • power supply,
  • at least 8 GB micro SD card (C10 class is welcome).

Connecting all establishes the minimum PC desktop kit which will allow to install and run the selected OS system on the SD card.

Downloading OS System

There are few ways to get the right OS system for Raspberry Pi board:

  • buy pre-installed SD card from RS [10] or PiHut [11],
  • install Raspbian with NOOBS [12],
  • download Raspbian image directly from Raspberry Pi software repository [13],
  • download the Windows 10 IOT OS from Microsoft Windows Insider Preview [14].

Other Raspberry OS Systems

For other then Windows and NOOBS systems use the Etcher SD [15] card image utility which is designed to format and upload to the SD card different operating systems images. Then follow its instructions.
